The dark pits of one's self...

[niorah]

Ever since the first time I heard this song, when I was fourteen, I was overwhelmed by the feeling of total loneliness its final verse conveyed, repeated over and over and over again...

My mama said to get things done, you better not mess with Major Tom...Major Tom had left Earth on a space flight in the far 1968, in Bowie's first successful song

You don't know how glad I am that there is someone who can understand what I'm talking about...

Powerful is a very good term to define them both, together, yes...

Life.

Sometimes the past comes haunting you, whether it's welcome or not.

And usually it isn't.

Let's just say that my past made me who I am today, with all my flaws and dark pits, and leave it at that...

[niorah]

I know, stupid me for putting it on and listening, but it was just so right.

It's like a drug that you sometimes need to remind you of your path, where you came from, where you walked, and mostly where you crawled.

I'm a professional escapee as in the minute the blues hit I do anything I can to escape them. I don't think it is a great healer though, just avoidance.

Probably better to hit it face on like you.

We all have our own way out of the pit, there is no better or worse way, I hope that yours works for you... maybe one day I'll try it as well.

I think it just delays things until I hit the mother of all meltdowns in spectacular fashion. Today was a minor tremour. *hugs*

Ah well I always was the 'drama queen'. lol.

*hugs*

Drama Queen is good! :D

Much better than "boring dead fish"... if you got emotions, let 'em all out, fer cryin' out loud, we're humans, not rocks...
