Conformity is soul suicide

Observations become thoughts.
Thoughts become words.
Words become opinions.
And in the end, opinions create enemies.

I can’t help but think what just happened to my car is some sort of sign. I don’t know what and I’m too busy being upset and worried about fixing it to figure it out. Somehow, I believe it’s the balance for the good times I’ve had the past month or so. I went on my trip and just had another amazing weekend. I truly believe that good cannot exist without bad. This is my time for bad. I also believe (like some) that the bad times bring out who we are as much as the good times. Maybe this is something that just had to happen.

Again, everything sounds better in my head

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.
