The stronger you are the more you need to grow,they will make your path more difficult,there is a REASON you are experiencing the difficulty,part of your job here is to discover that reason and make peace with it. Best of luck to you on this path of evolution,it will all make perfect sense soon enough.

[@mikedodson4595]

You probably don't want to hear this but... Everyone has got something they are dragging around. There is a lucky few that have never had a hard day but for most of us "to live is to suffer". You find yourself having a good day or moment and you cherish that fucking thing. You fit somewhere I promise. What took me a long time to figure out is yeah all the holes I'm supposed to fit in are not shaped like me. Then I realized I could change my shape. I still can't fit in most of the holes but I can fit in some. And that is good enough for me. Life is never going to get easier or more fair. Now what? Good luck.

Trent Reznor is one of the most baffling musicians alive. He can make hammering noise sound harmonious and good and then he writes an amazing ballad like this, all even only in the first few years of his career. His imitators are not just a joke, but a crime in comparison to him.

[@drcremers]

Regarding imitators, I wonder if you ever heard the song "copy of a" ?

I just always thought he was great. He can deliver the vocals so many different ways full of emotion. I find him brilliant and fascinating. NIN rocks.

[@bigguy1164]

Reznor's first shaky steps into sobriety. You can hear the fear in his voice. Getting from here to how he is now is an accomplishment. So before you start longing for the days when he was self-destructive just to keep him pumping out the angry, angsty, coke and alcohol fueled music that you want him to make maybe stop and think about the toll it took on him. Longing for the past too much is you forsaking his evolution into a matured and celebrated composer and instead desiring for him to be a 50+ year old aging and fading rock star with a dwindling fanbase. He could have very easily turned into a self-parody like most rock stars end up but instead he disciplined himself, found a music partner he could trust and forged a different path. A healthier, better path.

[@scottdavis7050]

Absolutely! I was 19 or so when Pretty Hate Machine came out and it spoke to me because I was in the trenches of untreated mental illness and I was numbing myself any way I could. My parents had both died from over dosing and I was heading down that same path as well. He spoke to me because he was familiar. Every song spoke to my broken soul. I’m so ecstatic for him and how he broke free and took those first terrifying steps all of us have in recovery. I hate when say they wish Trent was the way he used to be or that he sold out etc. Obviously those people know nothing of the darkness of addiction. They have no idea how damn scary it is to face your first big life crisis head in with nothing to numb you and your real feelings hit you with an intensity you never thought possible and all you want to do is get high and make it all better. Trent is a light to me. I’d never ever want him or anyone to feel the pain of addiction again. Sorry to rant but this just hits such a raw nerve for me. I wish everyone health and sobriety. 💜 Hadassah

[@orangejoe204]

Fun part is when everybody's wisdom is bullshit and it actually gets subtly worse the farther away you get from it. Less emotion to cloud things, more hard insight and perspective. Perspective isn't always your friend. Sometimes it shows exactly what you feared: you really were better then, you were happy then, and now you're really what you feared you were before you met her, and you're not the human being you used to be, and yes, really, it's too late to go back. The blank, cold face of truth. Time just sharpens that little shard of bitter truth down until it's the hardest, sharpest thing in your entire body and you feel it whenever you breathe, right between your ribs. You see it in the mirror every morning. A fading fucking reminder of what I used to be. She made me a better man than I ever thought I could possibly be. Two decades of my life. I would have died for her. And now, instead, I get to live without her. And slowly watch as all those healthy, good feelings wither and I revert back into the monster I was before. Some things are so ugly one cannot open their mouth to try and explain them without wanting to scream through gritted teeth, to babble like a child or a madman in a nonsense language of utter pain. I'm glad Trent can translate.
