Friends can help each other. A true friend is someone who lets you have total freedom to be yourself - and especially to feel. Or, not feel. Whatever you happen to be feeling at the moment is fine with them. That's what real love amounts to - letting a person be what he really is.

Hatred is a very underestimated emotion.
I believe in a long, prolonged, derangement of the senses in order to obtain the unknown.
This is the strangest life I've ever known.
