#SongoftheDay I'm Going In (Lhasa de Sela)

I can't listen to Lhasa de Sela without crying--she died so young: at 35, of breast cancer, if I'm not mistaken--and she was possessed of so much wisdom, wisdom well beyond her years. So I really don't listen to this gorgeous album of hers unless I actively WANT to cry.

Yesterday I told you that my mother was diagnosed with cancer. I also mentioned that it takes my emotions quite a while to catch up with new information like this.

Last year, when my cousin died, I got off the phone with my mom thinking I was totally fine with his death, no problem at all. Probably a week after I found out about his death, I was trying to sort out a billing error with my telecom provider when I burst into tears. I could not stop sobbing into the phone.

The customer service person hung up on me, which, even at the time, I found hilarious, considering this company gives so much money to mental health charities. Don't they know that charity begins at home?

Anyway, don't listen to this song if you don't feel like crying. It definitely kickstarted my emotional upheaval around my mother's illness.



If you're wondering how you can support me in bringing you songs and visits every day, the easiest thing you can do is tell your friends about the site. Tell anyone you know--particularly people who are isolated and enjoy music.

Readers of adult fiction can also buy my books or check them out from your local library. Supporting my AudioErotica endeavour on Patreon would also help me hugely!

But you don't HAVE to do any of that. I'm very happy to get a daily visit from you, so just keep coming back.

Oh, and I also recommend hitting the "Subscribe" button at the top of the page so you won't miss a song!

See you tomorrow!
