Sigur Ros

Sigur Rós changed me over a decade ago. I can still taste the Camel Lights on that porch in Long Beach, waiting for the sun to come up.

I simply stopped assuming I knew. 

Because of that simple personal observation, I don't look at things like I used to. Just because something looks like something now, doesn't actually mean I actually understand it. And if I don't understand it, I can't pass judgement on it.

One thing I don't do anymore is assume I know what someone's going through just because they act a certain way that causes me to react in a certain way. Take the star of this video for example.

It looks like she's bringing a lot or most of these multiple causes of pain on herself. Hell, she might just be hellbent on self desctruction. 

But here's two truths you may or may not agree with: 1. She is still worthy of love. 2. My judgement of her is unnecessary when all I should be offering her is the aforementioned love.
