I know exactly how she feels

I walk past her everyday, as I leave Markus' I see here. Today she almost brought me to tears. I have been listening to this song on repeat lately. It has gained some popularity due to the Where the Wild Things Are trailer, but we don't really get that here so...

There's a part in the song that says;

Children don't grow up
Our bodies get bigger
And our hearts get torn up.

Something about that is resonating deeply in me today; I think it's just kind of part of the melancholy and worry that have been running me lately.

Worried about work, worried about money, worried about my heart. Worried about the world. I want to just sit down on the ground and let the x's and o's float out and leave me in peace.

Unfortunately, I don't think it's quite that easy.

How can I have so much hope for the world in my heart and have such a raging battle to hope for my own life? I think it's easier to hope for other people isn't it?

Deep breath. This too shall pass.
