@Murphy i feel the exact same way about that lyric. such an important reminder, as hard as it is to believe.

So obsessed with this song. Lyrics in bold really stike a chord with me. Nightminds by Missy Higgins Just lay it all down. Put your face into my neck and let it fall out. I know I know I know. I knew before you got home. This world you're in now, It doesn't have to be alone, I'll get there somehow, ...

Just re-read what I wrote.. And I guess this one of those "and both" situations my therapist is always pointing out to me. I guess I am allowed to feel both happy to have a job and be able to pay my bills while also feeling exhausted and drained and wanting something better. I'm not always...
