    “So, imagine we鈥檙e all born with a set of feelings. Some are broader or deeper than others, but for everyone, there鈥檚 that ground floor, a bottom crust of the pie. That鈥檚 the maximum depth of feeling you鈥檝e ever experienced. And then, the worst thing happens to you. The very worst thing that could have happened. The thing you had nightmares about as a child, and you thought, it鈥檚 all right because that thing will happen to me when I鈥檓 older and wiser, and I鈥檒l have felt so many feelings by then that this one worst feeling, the worst possible feeling, won鈥檛 seem so terrible.

    鈥淏ut it happens to you when you鈥檙e young. It happens when your brain isn鈥檛 even fully done cooking鈥攚hen you鈥檝e barely experienced anything, really. The worst thing is one of the first big things that ever happens to you in your life. It happens to you, and it goes all the way down to the bottom of what you know how to feel, and it rips it open and carves out this chasm down below to make room. And because you were so young, and because it was one of the first big things to happen in your life, you鈥檒l always carry it inside you. Every time something terrible happens to you from then on, it doesn鈥檛 just stop at the bottom 鈥攊t goes all the way down.”
