A moment with "Acid Tongue"

I don't listen to a lot of music I once had, mostly because it's on my old laptop which I don't use very often. For whatever reason a memory sprung up in my head of *obsessively* listening to "Acid Tongue" by Jenny Lewis. When I first heard that song, I was in love. Nothing could hold me back from it. Even my mom told me she liked "that song you're always playing"

I pulled the song up while driving and screamed it in its entirety until my voice felt hoarse. In that simple instance I felt as if I was beamed back down to my sense of reality. That radical feminist hippie dippie read books all day mindset that I've been spell bound for most of my life. I don't know at what point I was pulled into a daze out of it, but- I realized that I was used to hair covering my abdomen, makeup being an optional vanity and food being my medicine (this was a big one because that office job had me eating all sorts of toxic junk) 

I spent my day cooking and reading in the sun. I think I'm healing.
