Ben Sherwood Quotes
I figured out that letting ‘the world’ hurt me served a few functions extremely well: It provided me with a kind of nurturing I didn’t otherwise know how to attract, I couldn’t be pinned with total responsibility, and it provided physical pain, a reason to cry that others could understand. So much easier than trying to explain all the accumulated rage and numbness and sadness.
