Re Protect your mind:
Excellent post. I have compartmentalized all my sorrows, though they do bubble up once in a while.
“And I don’t wanna live that way
Reading into every word you say
You said that you could let it go
And I wouldn’t catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know
But you didn’t have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing (aah-ooh)
And I don’t even need your love (ooh)
But you treat me like a stranger, and that feels so rough (aah)
No, you didn’t have to stoop so low (ooh)
Have your friends collect your records and then change your number (aah)
I guess that I don’t need that, though
Now you’re just somebody that I used to know
Somebody (I used to know)”
There are many somebodies that I used to know, but what matters now is maintaining my trust in God and His plan.
Unconditional love... it hurts but hurts “good”.
