โPeople are afraid of themselves, of their own reality; their feelings most of all. People talk about how great love is, but thatโs bullshit. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with love if theyโre afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But theyโre wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. Itโs all in how you carry it. Thatโs 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, youโre letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain.โ

Yes! I've numbed myself out in order to avoid those painful feelings and that allowed me to survive some terrible circumstances but I'm not truly living when I don't allow myself to feel. Pain has motivated me to make a huge change and, for once, I want to feel everything so that I can live life to the fullest.
