It’s January 18th, 2024; This original song is an honest-to-goodness “cry in your beer” song. It’s a song about getting divorced. Yes, it’s a more “cry in your beer” song than the one I shared yesterday! Don’t listen! Haha! Sometimes I feel these topics lead me into expanding consciousness in reverse. Ha! Learning from the missteps to expand rather than shrink our consciousness into victimhood.
A country song about taking his heart as you leave
Here’s the eighteenth new music post for 2024 as I consistently trek through all our original songs this year. This is a sad love story where he asks, “If you’re leaving give me one more wish,” to take his heart with her as she leaves through the door. Take the love and trust they built with promises and go. I doubt this would stop someone from leaving, but who knows? Maybe. Would it make you reconsider leaving? Let me know what you think.
If you left, did you take the memories with you?
Have you left a marriage? If so, there were no doubt good and bad memories. Did you take the memories right or wrong with you? Are you still holding a grudge? Do you have sleepless nights due to guilt or regret?
Learn the lessons and let go
I was left once, and then the second time, I was the one to leave. I had to work through the shock and angst over the first marriage ending (though I’d known it wasn’t a good marriage for years). And then after much therapy and counseling, I was the one who left (in the second marriage). Apparently, I’d built up some resilience after the first marriage ended, though I don’t think it made leaving the second guy any easier. Divorce is still the toughest experience I’ve been through (even more difficult than the loss of my parents, and I’m an only child)!
The best part of my first marriage was definitely having my two children. Now, they’re in their forties, and I have three bright and beautiful granddaughters (from my daughter). As for the second marriage, I have more bad memories than good, though I learned a LOT! I learned a great deal about mental health, being gaslit, lied to, manipulated, abused, etc. Not a good scene folks! After that, I’ve always felt I could get through anything! And it’s why I stayed single for more than ten years and wasn’t even too keen on dating again when Richard came along.
I learned to rely on myself more when someone mistreated me. And when I left, I truly understood the power of forgiveness; I understand how powerful I am to be able to choose to “let go.” Let go of that person, cut the cords that had connected us spiritually, and focus on myself and my needs, wants, and desires. This is especially true for anyone who’s lost themselves in the other person. Classic codependency.
I explained some of that yesterday in the snake analogy. No one has to be a victim. And I don’t feel I ever got trapped in victimhood. I always sensed my power, but I did have to get my “ducks in a row” before I could leave. When one has no visible means of support and the paycheck is only enough for half the rent and food, it’s tough to leave and live on one’s own. I sooo get that!
That’s where education and skills training can make all the difference. It’s a lot easier for an educated person to leave a relationship. Or someone who has saved and squirreled away a nest egg to be able to leave. Call it an Emergency Fund. Have a Plan B for your sanity. In fact, I’d say, learning how to save money is another way of treating yourself well. Your diligence in saving money shows you how much you respect yourself.
May we all soar in ’24!
Our original songs are online
Filmmakers, podcasters, and more could use our original music and songs in movies, TV shows, video intros, and such. I share this post on Tumblr (automatic feed from WordPress), Facebook, Twitter/X, LinkedIn, Instagram, Pinterest, Truth Social, Alignable, and Rumble. I’m watching the stats on all of these sites to see which get more traction and I may drop off posting to some of these if they don’t pick up steam (build a following). All of Richard’s original songs are available on his website at: Listen4Music.com
We’d love it if you’d share our song videos (or posts) with your friends. You can buy our songs on many of the music sites you subscribe to such as Apple Music and Spotify.
