The Cookout

[TheHarmattan]

I don't think there is anything in this life that can soften a blow to you in the way that losing a loved one can. It is so traumatic and of course we have all been there. When another human being say that you are not able to be loved anymore by them. I could lose all my money and be bankrupt but I know that I will make all that back. If your SO walks away, there is literally nothing you can do. Final. I hate finality in this life.

But this post was to focus on how people express their loss. You can hear the pain in poem and song. This isn't necessarily about the music but the agony that a human can express when their world comes crashing down. We are some very complicated creatures.

Eddie Vedder at 3:35 turned the corner and his agony is so strong. I felt sorry for him in this song. The writhing and pain has become a sound mixed with instruments and made into a song. Outstanding art.

I know someday you'll have a beautiful life
I know you'll be a star in somebody else's sky, but why
Why, why can't it be, oh, can't it be mine?
Ooh, ah yeah, ah, ooh

This stuff is hard for me to watch. Not because I can't sympathize, but because I sympathize too much. It hurts to see people hurting over loss. Hell, I will cry if I see an animal mourning his or her loss. I saw a friend's cat go through this. Her other cat died suddenly and the poor thing would just sit in the corner and make small mews and wouldn't eat much of anything for a few weeks. He was depressed and hurt cause he lost his friend.

You're so right, we're complicated & neither sex is perfect. Be real & honest from the gate. Not what you think he or she wants you to be. Be yourself at all times. Allow the other person to decide "yay or nay" & you do the same.
Bottom line, "KEEP IT REAL"!
