"Yeah, that's funny, huh?...Something hurts you real bad and you get used to it. Like being hurt becomes part of who you are."

Previous Quote

Real isn't how you are made. It's a thing that happens to you. Sometimes it hurts, but when you are Real you don't mind being hurt. It doesn't happen all at once. You become. Once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand. Once you are Real you can't become unreal again. It lasts for always.
