Sing It, Brandi

"Let it bend before it breaks
I'm alright, don't I always seem to be
And I'm swinging on the stars, don't I wear them on my sleeves"
Brandi Carlile, Before it Breaks


As far as I can tell the song above is about a break-up, but doesn't sad heart achingly beautiful music speak to everyone else's hearts too? Even when you're not in the same position but just having a beat down, kick you in the gut, kind of week. And the ironic part of this is that while there have been at least two spectacularly bad moments this week, overall I can't even put my finger on why I'm so down.

Do you ever feel forgotten and left behind? Like life accidentally left you at a rest stop and drove off before remembering you weren't back from the rest room? Man that feeling sucks.

I'm trying to bend before I break. Maybe Brandi will move in with me and be my constant cheerleader.
