This song has legit helped me. I had an accident recently (resulting in the immense harm and loss of some of my front teeth) that put my mind through some shit. I feel worthless, ugly, like I could have so easily avoided the accident. But this song has helped me with "even though it happened, you can move past it as long as you are you". Of course it wasn't the worst thing to ever happen, but the song helped me that distance to feel better. Now all the feelings are not gone, they are still there, but thinking about some things has really helped me. Honestly, I am glad that TomSka is doing better. Good things can go so far beyond just one person.
