Everybody Hurts - REM
When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone,
When you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on
Don't let yourself go, 'cause everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes

Sometimes everything is wrong. Now it's time to sing along
When your day is night alone, (hold on, hold on)
If you feel like letting go, (hold on)
When you think you've had too much of this life, well hang on

'Cause everybody hurts. Take comfort in your friends
Everybody hurts. Don't throw your hand. Oh, no. Don't throw your hand
If you feel like you're alone, no, no, no, you are not alone

If you're on your own in this life, the days and nights are long,
When you think you've had too much of this life to hang on

Well, everybody hurts sometimes,
Everybody cries. And everybody hurts sometimes
And everybody hurts sometimes. So, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
Everybody hurts. You are not alone

i know it's a bit strange i posted up the lyrics of this song and all but it's an ode to all the friends i have lost and whatnot. feeling a bit sentimental about it (must be the PMS talking i swear!) but yeah am still aware that life does indeed go on. it's a fine line, this idea of caring and being proactive about it and pushing the other person over the edge. i have been described as a very intense person to be with, and so i just lose control of that fact that sometimes i really dont have the right to emotionally stress someone out, even if i do it out of ignorance.
it feels like a flaw to be so fundamentally me. having looked at some of what describes me ( I am an INFP Jung type, and a 6 on Enneagrams), i don't seem to be in a zone where i am dwelling on my strengths. the fine line of being compassionate and being overtly curious. the fine line of being a stranger and a friend.
the fine line between just superficially normal and deeply insane.
Heh, i should get better, less distressing things to blog about.
