Just wanted to report that NC is sticking! WOW! Tough, but doing it, doing the NC and feeling good! Really a major milestone for me. I love music one of my favorite singers is Jewel (NO! not because I happen to look like her) I just love the word's in her song's! This song has helped me so much, had to share.

 

GOOD BY Alice in Wonderland

 

it's four in the afternoon

i'm on a flight leaving l.a.

trying to think about my life

my youth scattered along the highway

 

hotel rooms and headlines

i've made a living with a song

just a guitar as my companion

wanting desperately to belong

 

fame is filled with spoiled children

they grow fat on fantasy

i guess that's why i'm leaving

i crave reality

 

(chorus 1:)

so goodbye alice in wonderland

goodbye yellow brick road

there is a difference between dreaming and pretending

i did not find paradise

it was only a reflection of my lonely mind searching

for what was missing in my life

 

(verse 2:)

i'm embarassed to say the rest is a rock and roll cliche

i hit the bottom when i reached the top

i never knew it was you who was breaking my heart

i thought you had to love me

you did not

 

yes a heart can hallucinate

if it's completely starved for love

can even make monsters seem like

angels from above

 

you forged my love like a weapon

and turned it against me like a knife

you broke my last heartstring

but you opened up my eyes

 

(chorus 2:)

so goodbye alice in wonderland

goodbye yellow brick road

there is a difference between dreaming and pretending

that was not love in your eyes

it was only a reflection of my lonely mind wanting

what was missing in my life

 

(bridge:)

dreaming is a good thing cause it brings new things to life

pretending is an ending that perpetuates a lie

forgetting what you are

seeing for what you've been told

and growing up is not the absence of dreaming

it's being able to understand the difference between the ones you can hold

and the ones that you've been sold

 

(verse 3:)

well, truth is stranger than fiction

and this is my chance to get it right

life is much better without all of your pretty lies

 

(chorus 3:)

so goodbye alice in wonderland

you can keep your yellow brick road

cause there is a difference between dreaming and pretending

that was not love in your eyes

it was only a reflection of my lonely mind wanting

it was only a reflection of my lonely mind wishing

that you were what was missing from my life

"yes, a heart can hallucinate"... arf!...that cut like a knife...:(

 

Profound> that little chick is amazing and I admire her as well. Hard to imagine that she is so very young and so very astute in her poetic expression.

More admirable is that her art as a woman is one of such acute honesty & insight about herself.

So glad that you are doing well this eve and that you are embracing what speaks to your heart and healing from it.

Hugs to you!
