This is the song I have in my head at the moment (for all the correct reasons), but it doesn't fit yesterday. Yesterday was an odd day.  I started out being bitched out at work for something stupid that wasn't my fault, and then told that I could have the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend off (go me - 4 days off this weekend and 5 off next.  Course, I have annoying commitments many of those days, but still, it's not at work.)  I also have made peace with some stuff that came to a head over the weekend.  So while things aren't resolved, I'm in a decent place thanks to my own strength, good friends, and a good therapist.  Not necessarily in that order.

So I've been trying to figure out what song fits yesterday and this is the one that comes to mind first.  And it says a lot that I can recognize those I have let in and, while I'm still farking scared to death, I hope know trust hope that they won't intentionally hurt me. 

We're in an evolution
I have heard it said.
Everyone's so busy now but
Do we move ahead?
The planets hurling and
Atoms splitting
And a sweater for your love you sit there knitting.

I don't know where it all begins.
And I don't know where it all will end.
We're better off for all that we let in.
