“Damaged” control

priorities…

The other day I put up an

entry about a song called "Damaged"
by TLC. Obviously this song has some
applicability to my life, both to myself (because I am far from free of it
myself) and others I care for. Sometime later Tatsumi dropped
this
post
on the Girl2 news page.

Fortunately she was kind enough to discuss it with me before I saw the entry
and hade a frigging heart attack… we are managing to avoid doing
that to each other these days mostly; though I have been having palpitations
most of this week 🙂 Anyway, no need for anyone to panic, it’s all cool.

The thing is, my post was far from intended to point out anyone’s damage. She knows this but I wanted to make sure my loyal readers know it.

The
lines that struck me about the song were not the ones that might be insulting or
hurtful, they were really the opposite. Here they are:

  • "And I really really really want you" – it is my hope
    and conceit that I am wanted 🙂
  • "If you really really really care" – and I do.
    I was hoping to try and get that across.
  • "Then maybe you can hang through" – I can. I have and
    I will.

That’s it. I just wanted to try and get out that I hope I am loved, that I
love in return and that I am strong enough to hang in… just like I always
have.

It seems like that message did get across – so I am happy 🙂
