it is worth mentioning.
Miss Hale rants in her very unique and fantastic vocal style about essentially how much love can hurt (“it checks you in and kicks you down/ it chews you up and spits out/ it messes with your sanity by twisting all your thoughts around”). She’s letting her listeners know that love is probably going to suck.
And the chorus both agrees with this premise and refutes it: “Love bites/ But so do I”. Yeah, love is going to fuck your shit up. But that doesn’t mean you stay on the ground. You get your ass back up and go for another round. The words of the chorus make me think of Simba from the Lion King: “I laugh in the face of danger”.
I’ve said a lot in the last few pages. Pain is necessary. It is unavoidable. It is an outside force that will motivate some to action and destine others for apathy. Pain is life. It reminds us that we are alive. Think the opposite of Arnold’s line in Predator: “If it bleeds, we can kill it”. Instead think: If it bleeds, it’s still alive. Without pain, there would be no growth. We would all be stuck in our shitty realities if we don’t twist the knife sticking out of gut.
If you take nothing else from this essay, glean this: that pain is not this terrible atrocity that must be stamped out in order to live a fulfilling life. Pain is instead what is conducive to live the kind of life you are supposed to live. If we didn’t have pain, what would we have?
Works Cited
I referenced a bunch of different authors and scholars and a plethora (technically, I’m using that word incorrectly) of pop culture sources. I gave credit in the text, but have no desire to cite them here in any format. Why? Because fuck you, that’s why. Nah, I’m just tickling your dick. But seriously, no actual works cited. Just this little rant. Man, I can be long winded when I want to be.
