jealousy

That’s the sad thing—most people are like that. They think that a house is just a thing to be bought and sold. They really don’t get it. And what’s really horrifying is that those are precisely the people who can afford a house. 

Exclusion is an old, deep feeling, born back in middle school when friends would plan sleepovers in front of me.

“If we’re both here and we both like each other, why can’t we figure out what we could be?”

The feelings of resentment, anger, guilt and jealousy are uncomfortable, draining and tolling. Nevertheless, they exist. So, what is to be done about them? 

What Merton proved with “Holes” is that even sad songs can be successfully upbeat with the right attitude and instrumentals. Another thing her band proved is that you don’t need to be playing a bass to execute amazing bass lines.
