An ordinary girl
An ordinary waist
But ordinary's just not good enough today


Haven't listened to that song in years. Probably not since high school, this album that came out shortly before I graduated from Westwood. There are so many weird memories tied up in songs I would hear on the radio, driving in my first car or in Micheal's blue Honda. We pulled over once on the side of the road going to Matt the diver's house, because I was crying so hard. I remember being that fragile, and sometimes it comes back vividly. I like to think I'm stronger now, but I suppose one doesn't know until one has to act.

I have that nervous feeling like I should be doing something, but I'm not sure what.

Sometimes songs I haven't heard since HS bring me right back to that pit-of-the-stomach-churning feeling I'd get walking up the block to school every morning, to spend another day hiding from my teachers. It can manifest in that nagging feeling of "I am avoiding my responsibilities" for me, if I'm not thoroughly conscious of whence it stems.
And yeah, as fragile as I think many of us were, it's amazing anyone survives adolescence with soul intact.

It's precisely that feeling. Almost anytime I have to get up early now, I feel that same sort of dread I remember from way back then.
