Hello. All is well. God is love.

For too long, I've suppressed some sides of me. To be fair, I didn't know. I never listened to what I felt. It's silly how one can be ashamed of what one feels, but I understand it.

One of my favorite songs is Diamonds by Rihanna / Sia. It means a lot to me, and I've been unconsciously singing the line, "Shine bright like a diamond," for years when I'm alone, never questioning why.

Similarly, I've been unknowingly murmuring the line, "Say something, I'm giving up on you," from the song Say Something by A Great Big World. I decided to listen. It was the first time I genuinely let myself cry in the last decade.

It's funny how I have no recollection of listening to these songs, yet they've remained in me for all these years. There is some truth to the saying that you know a song by heart.
