sometimes there are perfect moments of understanding.
when words you hear strike you.
words about you that bring you to your knees.
elliott smith was my first one.
his sweet silent self annihilation resonated with me.
and bright eyes in my current one.
i just got home from seeing him content with the talent that i just testified to.

But the desire for each emotion to be addressed and catered is really foreign to me. I have younger girls as my friends and I see them scream out for it. So here are the words of wisdom for them. "When you scream - you lose your voice."
