Feeling The Pain
In NYT's article on Elliot Smith's legacy, one sentence stands out the most to me:
Suddenly she starts crying and bolts from the room.
His girlfriend was interviewed and somehow, the writer of the article documented her sudden response.
It hurts, doesn't it? At a place, at a time when one least expects it - like when one is being interviewed by a leading newspaper.
We can't help it but hurt. Please cut us some slack. We are just normal people trying to breathe, despite the pain. Sometimes, we lose control and have to cry, have to run away, have to break down. But we are trying, and we will have to keep trying for the rest of our lives because the pain will always be there.
