Pain.

Love this.
It's something I've always wanted to say, but never found the words.

"People are afraid of themselves, of their own reality; their feelings most of all.
People talk about how great love is, but that's bull.
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 Morisson

Well said, Sir.

*** POST EDIT***
Okay, let me clarify my thoughts on this quote.

First, I really do believe love is great, but not in the same way I did when I was 18. It's hard, but great all at the same time. I just think the world's perception of love is skewed.
And second,
the main reason I love this quote is because I've been told one too many times, "You shouldn't feel that way." or "You have no reason to feel that way." or "Get over it." or something of that nature. MY feelings are MY reality. They make me who I am. So I'm saying I'm not afraid of telling the world I am happy, in pain, sad, mad, or whatever! I can't begin to tell you how many times I've contemplated emotions and how intricately they are connected with our spiritual beings. I am saying I'm not afraid of myself or my emotions or my reality. I love myself for all the crazy emotions I have. I am someone who feels things, believes things, and

my friends,

I am not mediocre.

I have been awakened. And I believe I am carrying [it] quite well.
