Do not fool yourself thinking you'll be happier when under control. It's a lie. Happiness has no boundaries, just like every other feeling. Restrain one of them, you'll be restraining them all - every action itself creates an echo within Life.
Do not fool yourself thinking you'll hold your feelings and release them under control. It's a lie. A true feeling will only be true once it can't hold itself under restraints. Do not even think you understand your feelings, cause you don't. Feelings are unexplainable, they are trappers, painseekers.
Do not think you'll hold your feelings and therefore live with no pain. You can't, I'm sorry. Embrace pain like you embrace life; sometimes you'll only achieve the top through your own inmost disgraces. If you wish, if you want, you'll have to step through those great rows of thorns and cry, bleed and die. And reborn, and then die again. And then again. Like Hitch would say, we jump, praying God we'll fly, so we don't fall like rocks against the ground. And most of the times, we'll hit the ground. Like a bird that can't fly.
And it's better to live a miserable life than the life of a rock;
it's better to live in pain than with no feeling at all;
and if at your last breath, you weep and cry;
it's better than if you just died.
