I traded fate for love... That's what she said...

"Drowned World / Substitute For Love"
I traded fame for love
Without a second thought
It all became a silly a game
Some things cannot be bought
I got exactly what I asked for
Wanted it so badly
Running, rushing back for more
I suffered fools so gladly
And now I find
I've changed my mind
The face of you
My substitute for love
My substitute for love
Should I wait for you
My substitute for love
My substitute for love
I traveled round the world
Looking for a home
I found myself in crowded rooms
Feeling so alone
I had so many lovers
Who settled for the thrill
Of basking in my spotlight
I never felt so happy
Mmmmm, ooohhh, mmmmm
Famous faces, far off places
Trinkets I can buy
No handsome stranger, heady danger
Drug that I can try
No ferris wheel, no heart to steal
No laughter in the dark
No one-night stand, no far-off land
No fire that I can spark
Mmmmm, mmmmm
Now I find I've changed my mind
This is my religion

Sarah showed me this song a few years ago. I have relied on it before, but I think it has more meaning to me right now. It has started to hurt more now that I have seen her. I hope she has found what she is looking for. I am happy to have had the oppertunity to learn from her. I am glad to know that someone could love me.

I think I can relate to that. I can imagine that if I saw Josh I'd feel similar- wait.. oh yeah. He didn't love me. Lol. But I bet I feel the same way about a couple other people, anyway. That's a cool song, by the way.
Kris,
I know that I cannot relate to what you are experiencing. I'm not going to try. I just glad that I can read this and get to know my older brother more the way I want to. I love ya man,
