| https://youtu.be/u_NPwJoJOqM This song seems to speak to me, too. Pain is not always silent, though some will attempt to silence it. And true beauty often comes from the places seldom searched----- I'm not the only one who feels pain or a sense of not belonging. Many people do. Too bad we "wei... |
