Copyright Information – “you’re not getting this all wrong; being human is really hard…”“you’re not getting this all wrong;
being human is really hard, and things hurt
so much because you’re made of stuff that’s so
much better than this place. so it’s ok to barely
even know how to be human sometimes… just take
it from one breath to the next.
you’re just a soft spirit
in a hard world.”
