I was thinking of a conversation i had with a student. We were talking about some deep stuff. Abuse victims. Rehabs. Unbelievable that people who have only been on this earth for 16 years and many times have done nothing but been born into horrible situations…can face life with such strength and determination. Probably why they connect and inspire me. Totally affirms the old man in the show that states “young people have it 10 times harder than we did growing up. Its students and conversations like that which stick in my head.

Strange how people who suffer together
have stronger connections than people who are most content.
I don’t have any regrets, they can talk about me plenty when I’m gone.

-Brownsville Girl By Bob Dylan

And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
They’re quite aware of what they’re going through

-Changes by David Bowie
