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. Most people love you for who you
pretend to be. To keep their love, you keep pretending
— performing. You get to love your pretense. It's true, we're
locked in an image, an act — and the sad thing is, people get
so used to their image — they grow attached to their masks. They
love their chains. They forget all about who they really are.
And if you try to remind them, they hate you for it — they feel
like you're trying to steal their most precious possession.

kindness, blow the rest away.
