Nick Cave to a fan: Cultivate a sense of humour, see things through courageous heart, be merciful, be kind...

“I feel very bad about myself. I cannot see anything positive in my body, I hate to look at myself in the mirror and it makes me suffer a lot" - a young fan named Barbara asked Nick Cave on his Red Hand File blog. Cave thanked her for “entrusting him with such a courageous and heartfelt question”, and gave an advice: "Please, take care of yourself. Seek out beautiful things, inspirations, connections and validating friends... At all costs, try to cultivate a sense of humour. See things through that courageous heart of yours. Be merciful to yourself. Be kind to yourself. Be kind".
