Happy October. Today I had the idea that I would listen to my entire Bright Eyes collection, in order. It didn't take until "Patient Hope in New Snow" (track #2 on the first CD) that I was already unconsciously trying to make myself cry. I don't know why I do that. I have strange habits.
I guess I listen to Bright Eyes when I miss being sad. Sometimes I miss sadness so bad that I actually make myself sad.
Some things are beautiful, like observant days and the way a 15-year-old boy exhales into a microphone.
Some things are ugly, like missing sadness and disappointment and thinking too much.
But the worst part is how none of my thoughts are new. Everyone has thought these things too many times to make it okay.
It was so Perks of Being a Wallflower, you would have puked if you saw it.

Namaste. God is good, all the time. Happy October.
