Feeling very, very down

[Melody Maia]

I kinda wish it was less remarkable for trans women and men. I hope I pull through as well as you.

Melody, you WILL pull through.  I know you will.  So will I.  Do you know the song "You'll Never Walk Alone"?  If not (or even if you do) google it and find a recording you can listen to.  There's a real good one done by Jerry and the Pacemakers back in the 60's.  Listen to that song.  I have found it really healing during hard times, like when I was coming out to my (adult) kids. 

I know it's hard.  It sucks.  And there aren't words to say about it that don't sound trite and lame, but I know you know that I know what you're going through, because I'm going through it too.  And despite the stormy weather in which I find myself, I DO choose to believe in the rainbow.  It's there, it really is.  And with all this "stuff" we have to go through, you can bet it's gonna be a real purty one, too...

Colleen,
That song is a bit before my, uh, time  However you did remind me to listen to my own personal theme song. It is "Melody" by Kate Earl. Part of the lyric I quote as my signature. It is a girl self empowerment sing and it does make me feel better. "Be the Girl" by Aslyn is another good one. You might give a listen to those sometime too. You can get both on iTunes.

Thanks girl and hugs to you. {{}}

Specifically, no.  Not in this case.  (and yes, I know I show my age by referencing people like Jerry Marsden, lol...)

It's also featured on the Pink Floyd record Meddle during the song Fearless, where the LFC fans are singing it.
