You need to understand your feelings, Toad. They are not your enemies. They are part of you, and learning to listen to them is the first step towards healing.

Getting to know your own mind is like friending yourself on Facebook – you learn a lot about your interests and your weird habits. It’s all about understanding your internal drama to live a better external life.
