I've Been Let Down

About a week ago I had a conversation with a friend, and she said something that was really helpful to me in the way that it is helpful when someone really nails what you're feeling.

She said: "It seems like you feel really let down, not just by him, but by life."

Yes.

I

Do.

Luckily, Mazzy Star's been there too:

I've been let down
And I'm still coming round
I've been pulled down
And I'm still coming round for you
Coming round for you

Take away everything that feels fine
Catch a shape in the circles of my mind
Make me feel like I belong to you
Make me feel it even if it ain't true

Uh-huh.

My son's in California with my parents at the moment, so my daughter and I are getting lots of one-on-one time. Which is good, in a way, but it's also hard, for both of us. I realized today when she was really missing her Dad and I was really missing a man that we both just really groove on male energy. And that's not necessarily a bad thing, but it does get a little tough when the testosterone levels get too low:

Catch a train on a silver afternoon
A thousand miles and I'm gettin' there too soon
Take me there, when I should be going home
Tell me why I'm still feeling (all) alone

I've been let down
And I'm still coming round
I've been pulled down
And I'm still coming round for you
Coming round for you
