i was in an online chat with a friend early this morning, and as i shared how i was feeling about life, the universe and everything, i made a statement to the effect that it's very challenging to live a life without love. interestingly enough, i already had this entry planned.
i've shared previously that growing up i did not have any kind of relationship with my father. over the course of writing this blog (and my life in general), i've reflected on how that absence has affected me.
this brief reflection is brought to you courtesy of having heard today's song as i was getting ready to leave the house yesterday. it conveys what i believe is the ideal expression of the love of a father, however it is not the father of the young man who is singing this song.
returning to the conversation this morning, i told my friend that I wasn't sure if having love in my life would cure me of my depression, but i did think it might make the situation more bearable. sadly, it doesn't look like i'm going to experience this kind of love or any other directly in my life for the foreseeable future.
