    Ever feel like you'd take out your shoelaces for someone, and they won't even take off their sunglasses for you?

      Give nothing but kindness to the world and those around you. If you feel like someone doesn't deserve your kindness or is repeatedly unwilling to give it back, just don't give them any of your time at all. If you're mean or cruel to those people, things will only get worse. Eventually they'll realize the mistakes they've made and will likely try to make amends.

    One of the great things about Music is that it can make you feel young. There I am, 69 years of age, minding my own business, driving the car. Then suddenly this song comes on the radio and I feel 18 again!!!

    I've listened to this song before but this is the first time I've thought about the lyrics and they're actually really powerful. To me, it's saying that you shouldn't build walls around yourself. Be vulnerable and let people love you.
    Anyhow, wonderful song.

    This perfectly captures what masking depression from your s/o feels like.
    Edit: so it turns out that Ezra, like myself, is transfemme. Looks like this perfectly captures masking more than just depression.
