take away a man's heart..

the most anticipated album of the year (i would say) being Kanye West's 808s & Heartbreaks was probably one the most revealing Cd's I've heard. it's obvious that he has experienced some life changing obstacles between the release of his last CD Graduation that produced uplifting songs like "The Good Life" and "Stronger" to his latest CD which includes songs like "See You In My Nightmare" and "Paranoid". i mean what happens when you take away a man's heart? not their literal heart, but the things that they long for.. the things or people that keep them going, that encourage them, that love them. Kanye lost both his mother and his fiance basically within the same year.. two very important people in his life! Now this is not a post about Kanye West but rather a reminder that we as people rely on each other in every aspect. for most of us all we need is to be in that one "special" person's presence and everything will be alright.. it's like the world is minuscule compared to our connection with our selected few. whether it be people or material possessions, I've witnessed a few individuals lose the things that meant the most to them and it sadly drove them to their own demise; whether it be depression or a series of misfortunes.. it's like kids who become "troubled kids" due to the disappearance of quality parents or role models or whatever the case may be. we all need one another, whether we'd like to admit it or not. we become apart of someone elses means of survival..
