Everybody Hurts.......

Everybody Hurts
Berry/Buck/Mills/Stipe

When the day is long and the night,
the night is yours alone,
when you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on.
Don't let yourself go,
everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes.

Sometimes everything is wrong.
Now it's time to sing along.
When your day is night alone, (hold on, hold on)
if you feel like letting go, (hold on)
when you think you've had too much of this life, well hang on.
Everybody hurts.

Take comfort in your friends.
Everybody hurts.
Don't throw your hand. Oh, no.
Don't throw your hand.

If you feel like you're alone,
no, no, no, you are not alone
If you're on your own in this life,
the days and nights are long,
when you think you've had too much of this life to hang on.
Well, everybody hurts sometimes,
everybody cries.
And everybody hurts sometimes.
And everybody hurts sometimes.
So, hold on, hold on.

Hold on, hold on.
Hold on, hold on.
Hold on, hold on.
(Everybody hurts. You are not alone.)

I historically never listened to R.E.M. but I do like this song and its lyrics.

This week, a fellow blogger made a brave decision and finally "outed" himself to his children. I say he is brave as I am certain that he is "hurting" right now as I right this entry. Please visit his blog at: http://trollatsea.blogspot.com/

He has been married for 26 years and was moving out of his home to another temporary location locally. I emailed him and he was very appreciative of the online support from fellow bloggers as well as his readers. "Everyone hurts, You are not alone" is my message to The Troll.
"Take comfort in your friends" is my message to him.

Finally, some of the people who are reading this blog are leaving comments. However, they have been mixed. One lady reader suggested that lines of communication be improved between my wife and I (I do agree), and the other reader, a male, is suggesting that I stop living a lie and basically get divorced so I can live a gay life. Two very opposite ends of the spectrum (no gay rainbow jokes mind you!). This is a very complex and complicated subject.

Another fellow blogger is eliciting comments from gay husbands:

I would recommend leaving a comment to her most recent posting. She is trying to figure this out as much as most of you who read my blog.

Thanks for stopping by and please leave a comment if so inclined......
