Totally agree with this child's meme; brings to mind a quote from Carl Sagan, that I've always found just so, ♥

“In the vastness of space and the immensity of time, it is my joy to share a planet and an epoch with Annie."

[Dedication to Sagan's wife, Ann Druyan, in Cosmos]

I'm always sad (I have every reason to be) but yes, I'm glad I exist at the same time as Robert and The Cure, a real joy and consolation in my bad moments.

[indiwise]

I'm so sorry you're sad, and I'm sorry that I don't know your situation - but yes, they have the power to sometimes *absorb* that for us..my God, they've saved me over and over and over and yes, stayed my hand literally, so many times, in the past. I kind of turned away, in the mid-2000s - I *had* to, as they reminded me so much of the darkest times of my marriage and my husband's death, but I'm trying like hell to move past that, now - and to reclaim them as mine.

Oh, well, at the end of 2013 my partner left me after 20 years and in the first months of 2014 I lost my uncle, my eldest beloved black cat (my first adored one died in 2008) and my parents, both in the same week, and I had to leave my little flat that I loved to move into the bigger apartment where my parents lived. My life was totally annihilated. After two years I'm still seeing the psychologist of the hospital where my parents died and thank heavens I have her to talk to, because my relatives and the one I considered my only friend were either totally absent or totally bothersome, in a word totally useless, and I was left alone to deal with everything. And thank heavens I had my LJ friends. They helped me more than the people I mentioned above.

I'm sorry to hear about your husband. Though I'm engrossed with my own pain I know I'm not the only one who suffered a loss.

Good LORD, Sweetheart - that's way-y-y too much to deal with, esp all at once, one after the other - believe me when I say that I'm so very sorry. And that I'm glad you have a good therapist that you can trust. Baby steps. Day by day. Only way to get through it

[fuji_fujiwara]

Yes, baby steps, but at first and for a very long time I wasn't able to do even that. I can't even describe how I felt. Now I realize in the last few months I've started to get a little better but there are moments, like this week, when something happens that makes me go backwards.

I'm sorry for you. It must have been very hard, for you and for your children that you had to protect. At least you have them, which is a consolation, though it must have been bad for you to see them suffer for the situation.

Cure songs made me cry many times, they still do, but not because in them I saw a meaning that could be related to me and my life, I cry because I find them beautiful and moving and some of them seem filled with real pain, because they touch something inside of me and release my emotions that I was used to keep locked and under control. So I will always be grateful to them too.

[indiwise]

because they touch something inside of me and release my emotions that I was used to keep locked and under control. - yes. Word. Absolutely. Saying the things we can't say ♥

Know that you can talk to me, okay?

[fuji_fujiwara]

Thank you. I'm lucky to have you guys. I have found more comprehension here than among the people from which it would have seemed normal to expect it...

I don't get notifications on yours posts. Don't know why. I'll have to fix that

[indiwise]

It was like a break from every stressor I had; a vacation from everything. I've never encountered anything that powerful. It was alive and happy and like finally being home in a sense. - Beautiful..and Oh, so so true, this almost gives me tears - I so agree. As for the, 'finally being home'? I've often said in the past that the ONE place on earth I 'blend' is..at a Cureshow. And it's somehow still true. There's a certain something about Curefans, you cannot deny that - and yet, we come from all walks of life. Certainly something to relish. To *celebrate*. ♥

One woman wrote, "How dare you write this when you're not even a fan. You don't know anything about what this band has meant to us. You have no idea how many heartaches they've healed or how many lives they've saved". - Yes. Absolutely. Amen.
