Mind Groove, "The sailor and the mountain" (feat Manuel Obeso)

Give yourself a break.

Did you watch the thing last night? You did? Listen: I know you are living with guilt and shame. I know you’ve done bad things — we all have. We’ve all done things we can never forget and can never truly make amends for. We walk around with sadness and regret and we search out punishment because it’s the only thing we can do to show ourselves how sorry we are. I want you to take this to heart, okay? Nothing you have done is so terrible that you deserve to subject yourself to anything like what happened last night. I am not saying you should forgive yourself completely, but do not let your misguided sense of repentance force you to endure that kind of punishment again. No one is that much of a monster.

Okay, now that we’ve cleared that up, here’s some moody music for a gray day. Enjoy.
