The thing about pain
“People are afraid of themselves, of their own reality; their feelings
most of all. People talk about how great love is, but that’s bullshit. Love
hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and
dangerous. How can they deal with love if they’re afraid to feel? Pain is meant
to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they’re wrong. Pain is
something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of
pain. It’s all in how you carry it. That’s what matters. Pain is a feeling.
Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them,
and hide them, you’re letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up
for your right to feel your pain.”
