All the perfumes of Arabia

Almost a year to the day, as the result of the same exact set of circumstances, I find myself staring at the video of a song from an artist I would have never thought I'd ever mention in a post here.

The difference is that, unlike a year ago, I really don't feel the need--nor do I have the energy--to expend even the tiniest bit of internal shame over it. I spend enough time trying to [ultimately futilely] justify an incredibly unfair situation to myself, just so I can deal with it some modicum of sanity. I don't have the slightest desire to justify anything else to anyone, even myself.

Besides, the reality is that even under different circumstances I'd feel no guilt. (And, I suspect, neither did Lady M.)
