I'm sure many of you have heard the new R. City song featuring Adam Levine, "Locked Away." I heard the song a bit ago on the radio and really liked it and the message (I thought) it was portraying. (if you haven't heard it or don't know what I'm talking about, here's a link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GUm5g8SG4o) I really liked the sense of loyalty it seemed to try to evoke. Like, no matter what happens to us, I'll be there for you and love you the same. Sometimes we need that reminder. But this past week, this song totally changed for me. I found out someone close to me is in jail for something insanely dumb that he did. He is quite literally locked away and probably going to lose basically everything. This situation has made me feel some type of way. Actually, many types of ways: confused, irritated, annoyed, hurt, shocked, sad, the list goes on. Why did he do it? Why am I not surprised he's in there? Why can't I do anything about it? Why didn't I do anything to prevent it?
But now I have to think about how I am going to choose to feel about it. Since he's locked away and potentially going to lose it all, will I still love him the same as I did before? When I eventually find out the details of the crime, will I X him out of my life or still care for him and keep in contact with him? It's really hard to think about. What would you do in my situation? How do you love someone that even the world rejects loving because of something they did or was accused of doing on a severe level rather than a superficial level?
