I was listening to my ipod a
couple of days ago while getting ready to go out. A song came on which I didn’t recognise or
the band who was singing it (got so many sometimes it’s hard to keep track!)
but the lyrics stood out to me, especially the chorus
“You used to be
all that I had
Now you are just
not what I need
I’ve got to get
over your and I know
Then I can get
back to me”
Those words made me think of
relationships but more in particular relationship breakdowns. You spend time with people – friends,
partners, family etc. – people you make relationships with and sometimes these
people can feel like they are all you need to do life with. But then you realise they are not for you,
they are not what you need and probably you aren’t what they need either. They are bad for you and there is more hurt
in the relationship than love. So you
break the relationship off if you can, sometimes it is hard to do this, and now
you can breathe.
However, you are still hurt by
what has happened within the relationship and things that were said but you
know it will take time to recover and get over them, but then you start to get
back on your own feet and realise it is time to live life for you and be who
you want to be.
Relationships are good but they
do take work. Sometimes in relationships what you need can fall by the wayside
as you spend so much time thinking of the other and they take but do not
give. This can be dangerous for both
people.
So, it is important to remember
to take time for yourself – remember you are important, and you are no use to
anyone else when you are worn out and low.
