I don't display emotions. I have every feeling that everyone else has, but I've developed ways to suppress them. Anger is one of my most comfortable feelings.
Negative energy that comes at you in some form is energy that can be turned around - to defeat an opponent and lift you up.

Sleep is for those who are broke
