But if when my feet are on fire, I have to shut up like a robot, I don’t understand how I can educate myself about feelings. Because with imagination I can’t. If it doesn’t happen with the experience of life and fuck me and who do I hurt, when does it happen? If I don’t hurt anyone, why don’t I have to cry, laugh, laugh out loud. Because I have to hold back what’s born in my guts. If I’m not here, how can people understand who I am, when I suffer, what makes me angry. There’s only one sea, we’re all in this boat together. I don’t understand why we act like we all have our own sea. You talked about sentimental education. I wanted to understand how you do it, without these premises. Aunt Olga had to shout and she didn’t. And if she had, what would you say, that she shouldn’t have done it. And back to square one. You said it well before. She didn’t give you the material.
