#broken people
Usually, the thought of it being almost Monday tends to bring on the end-of-weekend blues, but San Diego’s almost monday counteracts those sentiments and more with their lively debut, an utterly irresistible slice of disco pop named ‘broken people’, complemented by a flashy chic music video. Its visuals, built around the credo of not caring what others think, being yourself, having fun, and dancing like nobody’s watching, are a nod to Risky Business and The Truman Show. I can’t help but dance like nobody’s watching, even while glued to my seat in the office, to these newcomers’ soulful melodies and the shimmering vibrancy of their debut.

I’ll always love the broken just a little harder, because I know how hard it is to try and put the pieces of yourself back together. I know how it feels to not feel deserving of love because of all the cracks are being held together with tape and determination. I’ll spend extra time kissing the bruised knees and wounded hearts. I’ll give a little more of myself to the broken, as those before have done for me, and I’ll become part of the glue that cements the broken pieces back in place.
You’ll get cut on my broken pieces and though I don’t mean to, you will certainly bleed. I don’t want to hurt you, in fact it is usually as I try to protect you from my own brokenness and jagged edges when you will. Don’t hold onto me too tightly, your palms will come away aching, bloodied and scarred. Believe me when I tell you that I’m not ready. I am not capable. I am not to be loved, because in this state I know my capabilities and though I don’t want to I will leave you less whole than when I found you.
