i will

can't stop listening to Brandi Carlile lately.  (although really she's on heavy rotation most of the time....)
her lyrics always seem to speak directly about what's going on in my life. it sounds corny and silly and maybe i'm just a sappy super fan with a big old crush, but i LOVE her.

being on the other side of a relationship i thought would last much longer than it did has given me some interesting perspective. i'm not upset anymore. things happen because they have to. i get it. . . .
(BUT all the sad, lovesick songs make a whole lot more sense to me right about now)

specifically listening to I Will, over and over. that song has resonated with me for a long time- but certain words take on even more meaning here.

i have to say that i am proud to know you
and i'll never be the same because we met

*sigh*

when something makes me feel bad or sad or uncomfortable, i give myself a set, specific amount of time to feel bad, sad, or uncomfortable. usually like five minutes... ( though big tragedies get whole weekends doused in liquor...) (i'm kidding.) (not really) (sort of) .......

anyway, i'm giving myself five minutes to be really sad about this---- starting..... now.

the end.
