"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 thaught 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 you pain."
