i think it is beautiful. we've more than earned the right to cry!
it can be healing, but it doesn't mean i can sit around feeling sorry for myself. my sponwser told me if i wasn't sad about the bad stuff in the past, theres something wrong with. it's difficult for me to do a lot of things, but that doesn't mean i can't do it. so what if it takes longer. life is a journey, and i'm out of the mud, and taking a sceneic route. i try to keep thinking about what i am have to be grateful for. like now, my freedom from active abuse, and addiction means a lot to me. etc..........things are better now than they've ever been ( knock on wood ) my past was filled with pain, and i'm just now finding a better way to live. i'm free to express any of the emotions i have. i think it's a great song.
