I instantly recognized your kind and giving spirit when you arrived here. It shines even through the dark clouds hanging over you. Your truth is so much bigger than this one moment.
Music is a tricky one for me. My brain went nuts over music when I was psychotic. I stay away from so many songs I love just because like we both know, music can easily pull you into the past. But here are two of my favorites that are still a go to.
Imagine by the Beatles. It reminds me of some ideals we can all strive for. We can always imagine even when reality isn't what we would like it to be. Also Safe and Sound by Capital Cities. It is uplifting and reminds me in my dark times I'm safe and I'm stronger than my mind would have me believe. Enjoy, or hate it... Different strokes for different folks  |
Thank you so much. your words made me tear up. I agree. lots of the worlds problems could be solved by doing what you said. I teared up because I have immense trouble loving myself. I struggle with this very topic in therapy. It's not easy for me. Thank you again for the compliment. I appreciate it.
I understand what you are saying about some music, But,I cant deprive myself from the music I know. It's complicated. I will instead make it a point to try to add more positive uplifting music to my posts. It will take a little doing, but I think I can manage that. I like those songs you mentioned. I will have to add them to a playlist so that they get a chance to grow on me.
Now, I will give you a song, "
Get up" by
Shinedown.
(I LOVE Shinedown)
Thanks Fern.
I really needed this today.
