• Has this ever happened to you?

   

  When I was in middle and high school, I went through some traumatic stuff.  I didn't have anyone I really felt like I could talk to about it except for a friend of mine whose company I enjoyed and who had been through a similar experience.  We hung out all the time and were into a lot of the same things, but he wasn't the type to invest emotionally, at least not openly, and I ended up not getting what I needed as far as emotional support went.  He had been my go-to, and I ended up feeling let down and like he didn't care enough to talk to me about it.

   

  But he was always sending me music to listen to, and one of the songs he sent me, which I hadn't listened to in years, just came up randomly on a Spotify playlist I was listening to.  With a bit of temporal distance, I was able to hear the lyrics for what they were--the support I was begging this friend to give me.

   

  I'm feeling pretty silly for having received the message several years too late...
