I got a little musical bug in my ear the other day and could not stop listening to the album Maniac by Halsey.
I get in the moods where music speaks to me and Halsey's words were like poetry. I listened to the album on repeat for days before deciding I needed to re-read her actually poetry book.
The first time I read I Would Leave Me If I Could, I was in a happy, committed relationship. Since then, I've gotten divorced and experienced the deepest heartbreak I never could have imagined. I knew going into this a second time that I would take away something completely different.
It hurt.
But it felt more like a growing pain.
The anxiety and depression hit me like a ton of bricks but gave me so much hope. It made me realize that heartbreak hits everyone a little differently but we always manage to bounce back. It's okay to be sad. It's okay to ask for help. It's okay to be vulnerable.
Listening to Maniac and reading I Would Love Me If I Could was one of the most therapeutic experiences of my life.
Looking for my original review?
