A Sense of Purpose

I was at an upscale coffee chain outlet in the financial district yesterday when this mind-blowing song came on the sound system. It is hard to believe that I had never heard it before, considering the genre is directly down the middle of my favourite 80s angst pop paradigm. The chain has been real good to me lately, playing a delicious mix of 80s indie gems, both known and unknown. Who knew I would be getting into more music from 1982 here in 2011, but it is what is.

Sense of purpose is maybe a tiny stretch, but I really feel like I finally understand something important that has been eluding me for so long. The dissolution of my most recent (and most significant) dysfunctional relationship somehow lifted the cloud that has been hanging over my head since who knows when, forever really. Best case I am dealing with a real sense of purpose. Worst case it is a sense of understanding, and accepting, myself.
