I wondered if this song was on it? Grabbed the CD and yes, there it is. Well. Don't have to pay any more to hear what you're talking about then! Will do that, sooner or later. That sounds really hard, trying to be happy for someone when you're sad for yourself. I read somewhere if you let yourself feel the emotion then it'll pass more easily, if that helps.

That sucks to be blindsided by someone you care about and wanted to be with. Ugh. I think listening to this song (and all of Boys for Pele, really) is a good thing to do for yourself. I've nursed myself with many Tori songs. It's okay to not jump from disappointment and hurt to "Happy for him," in an instant. It's totally normal to NOT be happy for this person. Be sad for yourself for a while if that's what you need. Samara, I’m really sorry. That sucks to be blindsided by someone you care about and wanted to be with. Ugh.
