dealing with bad mood stuff 

this song is built around a phrase my mom taught me a long time ago that does a lot to calm myself down

sometimes i rewatch this video when i'm hurting and it helps a lot. maybe it'll help someone else too.

this too shall pass significance 

when i was super young and being bullied all the time- my mom calmed me down with this phrase. she knew the life she thrust on me wouldn't be that way forever and it was true.

when i hurt badly sometimes it helps to reflect on that phrase, because even if my mom is no longer capable of giving me that kind of emotional support i can feel it still when i think about her. i was bawling the first time i watched that video in college- i saw my whole life in it
