Playlist Prompt #22: "Little Talks"

Hello, friends! Today's prompt, courtesy of Lindsey, is the song "Little Talks" by Of Monsters and Men.

This song is a conversation between a husband and wife. The catch is, the husband has passed away, and the wife is kind of having this conversation inside her head.

Do you ever have conversations with yourself? I do, all the time. The "me" in my head is usually not as nice and sweet as the husband is in the song. The "me" inside my mind is pretty mean, actually. It tells me all the things I'm doing wrong. It tells me all the reasons my friends don't really like me. It tells me I can't. It tells me I won't. It tells me nothing really matters.

Sometimes I need someone to shout "Hey!" at me to get me out of my head. Whether that's literally making a counterpoint to what my brain is telling me, or giving me a hug, or bringing me lasagna or custard or muffins, or sitting in my living room inspiring me to be productive - whatever it might be, it helps, because it's really hard to contradict what I'm hearing inside my head all alone. I need outside sources to counteract what I tell myself.

So whenever I ask you something that seems obvious to you, or beg you for help with something that's not hard, just remember - you're helping me fight my sinful, broken self. It may seem simple to you, but it's not to me. You're being Jesus with skin on, and I appreciate it more than words can say!
