"When we our betters see bearing our woes,
We scarcely think our miseries our foes.
Who alone suffers, suffers most i' th' mind,
Leaving free things and happy shows behind.
- Edgar, King Lear, Shakespeare
In other words, don't ever think you have to suffer alone.
But then the mind much sufferance doth o'erskip
When grief hath mates and bearing fellowship.
How light and portable my pain seems now"- Edgar, King Lear, Shakespeare
In other words, don't ever think you have to suffer alone.
This song never ceases to send chills down my back.

I wish I could like this post. I probably can, but haven't figured it out yet.
Even after slogging through all that King Lear, he manages to give us good advice. And... Sara Bareilles? <3
