Too often, I listen to Morrissey and think, "you know, he's right!" He's my stand-in therapist during the lonely months that I am not under the care of a professional.

Today it was 'You Just Haven't Earned It Yet Baby" by the Smiths that made me exclaim with the delight of a blind man finally able to see. It made me feel kind of okay. I thought that one was supposed to grow out of feeling that a pop star is the only person that can understand you somewhere around the age of 14. But I still feel that way. What gives?

You must suffer and cry for a longer time
You just haven’t earned it yet, baby
