(Emotionally) Sober...



All my life I've dealt with pain by distracting myself, whether it be with sleep, fantasies, lies, friends, sexuality, etc. Distraction comes natural to me because it's what I saw the people I grew up with do to dull the pain of their problems. Drinking, smoking, snorting, spending, and fucking all the misery into oblivion, only to relive it with each coherent moment. And as of late I understand better than ever why they don't want to feel the pain. I've understood it so well that I've been tempted to try their method, letting substances carry me away from all of my sorrows...but I don't want to do that. I don't want to not feel.

As I confessed to my close friends, I don't know how to quickly rise above my problems without sinking first. I have to sink down into the pain and agonize in it, if need be, before I can rise up from it and eventually rise above it. Now, for the 1st time in my life I didn't run from my problems and I didn't hide them. I embraced them, shared them with my friends and I let myself sink without hesitation. I let myself feel every shred of pain and confusion, every tear filled day and night (and there have been many) and every sobering reality that it revealed to me. I'm proud of myself for doing that, for being "emotionally" and literally sober. I feel like I finally got it right, like I finally realized how to care for myself in the times when I really need to save myself, love myself. I've never felt so good sober...

Locked In My Head...Until We Meet Again




I'll keep you locked in my head until we meet again
Until we, until we meet again
And I won't forget you my friend
What happened?

Pink - I Don't Believe You (Video)





I don't mind it, I still don't mind at all
It's like one of those bad dreams when you can't wake up
Looks like you've given up, you've had enough
But I want more, no I won't stop
'Cause I just know you'll come around....right?

I had no idea that this video existed. I just thought it would be one of those occasions where my favorite song (on an album) doesn't get a video. But apparently I was wrong. Beautifully directed by the talented Sophie Muller (Sade's go to video director), "I Don't Believe You" presents the darkened (black & white) world of P!nk's life after the near break up of her marriage to Carey Hart. Adding sentiment to the videos storyline, P!nk wears her actual wedding gown as she travels through The Los Angeles Theater, in search of her husband and the life she wanted them to have together.

As P!nk explained on her website, "I Don't Believe You" is her favorite song from Funhouse,

"Because it's just so naked. It's like taking a deep breathe and saying, 'Here I am. Take me. Take your best shot'. The first thing that comes to my mind with I Don't Believe You is me standing in the vocal booth listening... Actually in the control room listening to this song, tears running down my face, just like 'fuck, really?' It's the vulnerable weak side of me that I don't let out very often. And it's [sighs], yeah it's that song. And I love it, I love it. I just love it, it's very near and dear to me." -- P!nk
