Magenta
Last year, I listened to Untamed by Glennon Doyle, and I loved the read. Glennon described being "pinker than P!nk" when jamming out to P!nk. She called it "Magenta."
Damn it, I get it!
For the last two days my P!nk playlist has been on repeat, and I've performed song after song for me, myself, and I. I've danced. I may have "ugly cried" to multiple tracks multiple times. It's like I've just discovered P!nk and realized how her music and lyrics are so honest and human and relatable and beautiful.
When we cannot or do not have the words to articulate what's necessary for us to be heard, seen, and understood, music and books understand us. This is why I love reading and listening; why I love music and books. They are allies, advocates, and friends.
On the worst days, there's a song or songs that can give sound to the feelings. On the best days, there's a song or songs that can give sound to the merriment. On the days of my damnable inarticulation, I can be "pinker than P!nk." I can be magenta. Thank goodness for music and books.

...Can somebody find me a pill
To make me un-afraid of me?
Seen every therapist, but I’m a cynical bitch
Don’t like to talk about my feelings
I take another hit, I find another fake fix
‘Cause it’s easier than healing
I don’t wanna be this way forever
Keep telling myself that I’ll get better
Every time I try, I always stop me
Maybe I’m just scared to be happy...
I’m so scared of having something to lose
I’m scared of being somebody new
I’m so scared of all them seeing the truth
‘Cause right now I’ve got nothing
But I don’t wanna be this way forever
Keep telling myself that I’ll get better
Every time I try, I always stop me
Maybe I’m just scared to be happy
-P!nk
90 Days
If I'm just somebody that you're gonna leave
And you don't feel something when you look at meYou're holdin' my heart, mmm, whatcha say?
Just let me down slowly, I'll be okay
If you're just some habit that I gotta break
I can clear my system in 90 days
You're holdin' my heart, mmm, whatcha say?
Just let me down slowly
-P!nk & Wrabel

All I ask is
If this is my last night with you
Hold me like I'm more than just a friend
Give me a memory I can use
Take me by the hand while we do
What lovers do
It matters how this ends
'Cause what if I never love again?
-Adele
