People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with love if they're afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they're wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It's all in how you carry it. That's what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide ...

Origins

  • The oldest written record of the name with its current spelling is found as the name of a character in Shakespeare's play The Merchant of Venice, where it belongs to the daughter of Shylock. The name may have been an Anglicisation of the Biblical Iskah (from the Hebrew: יִסְכָּה : yiskāh), the name of a daughter of Haran briefly mentioned in the Book of Genesis in the Bible. Iskah was rendered "Jeska" in English Bibles available in Shakespeare's day.
  • The original Hebrew name Yiskāh (יִסְכָּה), means "foresight", or being able to see the potential in the future. The Hebrew root sakhah (ס.כ.ה) means "to see," so the name Yiskah, with the added yod, implies foresight or clairvoyance.

  • Spiders. Big ones, small ones, artificial ones, virtual ones, everything that looks like one.
  • Sting rays.
  • Abandonment. I start panicking if people don't answer my messages because I get instantly convinced they don't want me anymore.
  • Being stuck in somewhere and die from lack of air. I know, I know. And still I regularly go and crawl in the undergrounds of Paris. Go figure.
  • Things that could grab my leg from under my bed at night.
  • Centipedes. Because I have lived in a country where those things were huuuge and possibly lethal. Plus, way too many legs for me.
  • Phones. Talking on the phone or answering it. I already got sick just because I had an important call to make.
