"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.” i am the needle in your vein i am the high you can't sustain i am the pusher i'm a whore i am the need you have for more i am the bullet in the gun i am the truth from which you run i am the silencing machine i am the end of all your dreams i take you where you want to go i give you all you need to know i drag you down i use you up How you LIVE, How you LAUGH, And how you LOVE. After that everything else seems to fall into place. "Anybody who overcomes judgement, hardship, heartbreak and can wake up everyday believing in themselves and believing in faith, forgiveness, and love is a hero to me." People that make me laugh so hard it hurts, inspire me to be more than I am, are passionate about life and others, are spontanious and truly embrace each day, keep an open mind to new things, arent afraid to be silly and act like a goofball, are just as kind to a stranger on the street as they are to their friends. There is nothing more attractive than confidence, ambition, and a good sense of humor. *There is so much more to a girl than her hair color, cup size, and reflection in a mirror.* Sometimes girls are made to think thats all they have. I admire the guy that comes along and proves them wrong... a search for perfection ends only in disappointment... dont be afraid to take a risk and look beneath the surface- lesson learned.
