Free your mind and you won't feel ashamed.”

You attended all my sporting functions
You bought me a car
Gave me use of a credit card
But how can I feel pain,
How can I feel pain,
How can I feel pain
When you're being so supportive?”

“Honor your humanness and all of your feelings - the messy ones, the growing pains, the ache - because we can't have the dark without the light.”
