Some Advice.

[Raz]

When you can't stop the world from hurting,
stop trying.


It's going to hurt regardless. People are like that. We like to pick away at each other like we were scabs that need to flake, but there's another side to the world that you miss when your fists are balled.
You miss the way the light refracts in the rain.
You miss the silent dignity of a bat owning the sky.
You miss that people have souls which can appreciate all of this.


Every time your heart breaks it makes a crack for love to come back to.
Every time you cry you're inviting someone's compassion.


Stop hating yourself every time things go wrong.
Start learning to listen to that part you've ignored, the part that tells you pain is natural and not to be feared.



Start to live.

who am i kidding? i would have liked to quote the whole piece, it's so wonderful. cheers my man, you've affected me at the very least.

another thing about pain, fighting it makes you focus on it, and it hurts even more. facing the universe and brazenly asking 'is that it? give me more' somehow diminishes it, and makes it less important, and it hurts less.

ironic, but true.
