Come all you weary with your heavy loads. Lay down your burdens find rest for your souls

Artist - Thrice

Song - Come All You Weary

Album - The Alchemy Index Vols. III & IV










For me, this song really makes me think of a friend who's recently went through trials and tribulations I could never begin to even comprehend.

Sexuality is such a double edged sword, and no matter which way you look at it, if you deviate from the norm you're bound to wind up getting cut in one way or the other. And I've never understood why that was, honestly. Who could honestly care that much what happens behind closed doors with another person. Perhaps in the eyes of those more puritanical or reserved, the idea of voyeurism is extremely enticing, and to toss something new and different can be shocking.

But to make the decision to change what you feel was a mistake, to be trapped in a body causing you nothing short of confusion your entire life...why is that looked on with such judgmental disdain?

Humans hurt humans, and it makes this Earth so combustible and filled with sorrow. There isn't enough time for hate a prejudice. Gandhi knew that, Dr. Martin Luther King knew that...why can't we as a collective whole?

-Until tomorrow.
