Sometimes, everything works out; hopes become reality, faith proves fruitful, and contentment abounds. Do you know that feeling? That all-is-right-with-the-world feeling? When you are certain, without doubt, that everything worked out exactly as it was meant to?
When I was young, I built my dreams upon a man who betrayed me. I was married to him. Briefly. Then he shattered my trust and razed my self-worth. My dreams became as barren as chaff on an arid wind.
But time erodes everything; blazes become ashes and broken hearts mend. Once, long ago, he was my world. Now he's just somebody that I used to know.

Only one guitar and yet they made a whole band from it. What talet!
ReplyDeleteMaybe the lesson is not to make another person responsible for your happiness and dreams, whether they're THE ONE or not. But Lord, that's hard, isn't it? Love that piece of music.
ReplyDeleteGood for you for recognizing that and leaving. I think the hardest thing is when people don't leave, but stay because of fear.
ReplyDeletePoignant post. Amazing video. I went to the band's YouTube link. They are AMAZING! Thank you for introducing me to them!
ReplyDeleteAnd isn't that a great feeling?! Someone that you used to know... Sometimes, the hard things must be done.

Hey,
ReplyDeleteThe video is just amazing!
Sometimes the hardest of decisions can end in making our life's much more easier, we fail to understand that because we prefer to shield ourselves from the pain.
This is such a powerful piece!
ReplyDeleteWhen one door closes, another one opens.
ReplyDeleteOuch. :( I hope I can't relate to this feeling anytime soon.
ReplyDeleteWonderful post on healing.
