"Although I’ve been so busy and not having time, I just got involved in this really interesting situation—a love kind of thing—that I never expected. I always had the feeling, all my life, I’m always so brokenhearted. It happened to me once when I was 19, 20. I was like, Yeah this is shit, but this guy couldn’t hurt me that bad. How could this one person hurt me that much? So I went to this psychic, and she said, “You were born with a broken heart.” And I was like, Really? Because I knew that. So I’m born with a broken heart, and then somebody breaks my heart again, and then when I think there’s no way I can get brokenhearted again, it really happens again, like super happens again. I put up all these shields, and then I was willing to jump. I’ll run for it, because love is dangerous, when it’s real it’s dangerous. And then I crash. So when I was in Bermuda, on a beach, on the water, and I was really sad, like, I hate myself I want to die, I just felt like the most stupid person ever. How could I be so selfish? At the same time, every man’s suffering is their own suffering, so I thought, Wow, I’m suffering from rich kid’s blues I think. There’s a few basic needs that everybody needs, and if one of them is not fulfilled, you don’t feel good. You know, food, water, shelter, but also a place of belonging and a home, and a feeling that you mean something special to somebody and somebody means something special to you, a connection. No matter how rich you are, if you don’t have that, it’s the same thing as being a homeless kid with nothing to eat. [You] need to be close to another heart. So as selfish as it sounds, being on a beach in Bermuda, if you still don’t have a home or someone that’s there, it’s painful." by Lykke Li (via chineseoreo)
