Everybody needs a Sammi

Aunt May said in Spiderman 2: "Everybody needs a hero."

I think everybody needs a Sammi Cheng.

Have you ever had a Sammi Cheng? You most probably don't know him or her, but it's that voice, that special quality, that familiarity that makes know everything is all right.

No matter how popular we are, how many best friends who are always willing to listen to us and share our pain, how loving your family is, there are some things that are just better when left unsaid. At these times, you just need a familiar voice to tell you everything is ok, that you will pick yourself up again.

You don't necessarily have to listen to Sammi Cheng though, which is why I say people need a Sammi Cheng. Your Sammi may be Avril Lavigne, or Good Charlotte, or Kelly Clarkson - whoever. But it's just someone whom you're so used to listening to, so used to watching, that the first voice you'll look for is his or hers. Especially when you don't want to talk to anybody.

I'm not a loner, but there are times when I really want to be alone, and just submerge myself in a different world, in someone else's voice.
