Bigmouth Strikes Again

A personal blog by writer, musician and parent Carrie Marshall

I’m not supposed to be like this, but it’s okay

This R.E.M. song came on in the pub tonight and I burst into tears. 

It used to make me cry a lot 20 years ago, and I couldn’t explain why.

I said I’m not supposed to be like this / Let’s try to find a happy game to play / I’m not supposed to be like this but it’s okay
