I was going thru a somewhat weird time in my life and then i ran across this quote. And i know wat everyone is thinking u shouldn't try to summarize your feelings by relying on a quote but this quote said everything i wanted to hear and even though its long its meaning is quite clear. And i just realized now that i rhymed hear with clear trust me that wasn't deliberate.
"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." (Jim Morrison)
I mean when i reflect on this quote its so true what he is saying. We are always afraid first we are afraid to tell people we care about them. But then we finally do tell them, we are afraid of them not caring about us. But when they say they do we are afraid of someone coming and ruining what these two people have. And if that is to happen then we carry this pain with us. Rather than telling people that we are in pain we hide the pain which causes the person who is hiding the pain to be not true to themselves and to the people who care about them. When we are in this pain it occupies all of our time. We start feeling sorry for ourselves but its all meaningless because in life we all have good moments and we have bad moments. Feeling sorry for ourselves wont change how we feel and also it wont change what our life has become. You just have to suck it up and move on. Dont just go walking around asking for attention because of the pain ur feeling. And the person that has caused you this pain dont just tell them that ur fine and try to hide your pain. Rather tell them that your in pain and that it'll take time but that you will eventually get over it. Doing this isn't a means to make them feel guilty but rather its a means to open up about how you feel. I think ive done enough preaching for today so plz feel free to comment. Thanks!!!
