If you had to choose between having to feel everything or nothing at all, what would you choose and why?

Nothing at all. Life. It’s too painful.

@Mindful I feel you. Life is painful. Loving someone is hurtful but loving can sometimes mend your soul, just for a little while and it's the only thing that makes us feel alive. Life is unfair, too hard, and painful as h*ll. Unfair, effed up and cruel in so many ways. So I'm still not sure whether to feel or try not to... But this isn't about me, it's about you, how do you deal with your pain? You don't have to answer if I'm out of line here.

I deal with pain by reaching out when I can. How can a 22 year old sound so loving and wise. Naturally I have felt all you have said.@DeLorean
