Keep fighting, even if only to live in the love of small wonders like this song while healing and fighting for triumphant survival.

I’ve been there… I promise you, I’ve been there… In and out of hospitals, sometimes an entire month at a time, fighting to survive and experience truly happy, joyful, and peaceful moments.

I’m wishing you well, and I hope that you heal/recover, because sometimes it honestly/truly does get better and keeps getting even better. Sometimes… I sincerely hope you’re one of the few who survive, and are also lucky enough to rediscover/reignite their inner-light and lust for life. ✨❤️‍🔥💫

I saw them preform this live at the very last wakarusa, and man did it strike a chord in my heart. I definitely started getting misty eyed along with everyone else who was there. Of course, we were on drugs, but it was more to it than just that, author was an influential during my formative years, and this song always struck a chord with me. Hearing this version of it as an adult during what was a dark time in my life helped bring me closer to the light again.❤
