@[karokaro:34622] So like Julia Roberts and Richard Gere in that movie that I am about to look up on imdb because I really cannot remember the name?
Update: PRETTY WOMAN! LOL I forgot that they also starred in another movie together, Runaway Bride. Clearly not as famous unless I just forget the box office numbers. Your comment made me laugh, so you didn't ruin it for me. LOL |

@[youngboul:34619] Hi, I wonder if you still have the same view of this song now that some time has passed? The song is summed up in the line "I'm just scared that we may fall through".
She doesn't know where her soul or home is about her loving herself. Which is a problem with many people and of course, why so many sabotage relationships that they feel they are not worthy of. Her love is rare and true, meaning the love she is giving is real and it is hard to find someone that may love as hard as she is for this person, but no matter how true and how amazing the other person is, she will run away. She cannot commit and it all comes down to her being afraid of being hurt by the other breaking it off. VERY COMMON and sad because it usually comes from the past. It doesn't even have to be a romantic relationship that had occurred and it also may not even be factual but a perception of why the past relationship ended. If she had self love and knew her worth, she would go into a relationship stronger and able to fully love the other person. As Rupaul says, "if you can't love yourself, how the hell you gonna love somebody else?". It is true. And again, it may be a perception of abandonment and it could be a non-romantic situation that occurred that we carry forward into all future relationships. Example, a child age 5 loses their Mother to breast cancer. Witthout proper counseling, that child may carry the scars and feelings of abandonment forward as an adult even though her mother didn't willingly abandon her. And even as an adult, the daughter knows rationally what occurred wasn't the choice of her mother but those deep seated scars of abandonment will rear their ugly head in future relationships.
It is common and sadly, loving in any relationship runs a risk, that will happen at some point, of a seperation of some kind. But if we love ourselves fully and know that whatever relationship comes to an end, that we are good enough and that if it is a romantic relationship. the other person has that fear this song is about or the 2 are just not compatible. It will sting, however, imagine if we all loved ourselves that if we were dating someone and they ended it because of not being compatible and both people could agree that it may sting, hurt but you cannot make someone love you. Yes, one person may always hurt more especially if they felt a connection, but I believe if we love ourselves and can accept that a breakup doesn't mean something is wrong with us, that we would all be healthier in and out of love. It is also critical that if we do feel a sense of abandoment from something in our past, that we do work through that with a counselor. It is sadly really common and we have all been there. I wish there was a stronger focus on mental health and loving ourselves in our early years so that people would grow up to be more confident and not live in a world that is hard enough on us let alone beating up on ourselves for no reason. I am curious to see if you still have the same thoughts and if so, what is the relationship to Buddhism and Native American Spirit? Is that tied to the liberation from this White corrupted world or is that more tied to the giving up on materical things, etc? Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Take care. |

@[Girl:34618] in Green And I am so glad that you did this. Who cares what those people thought? You never saw them again yet you gave your friend(s) all an amazing and caring memory. That is what this is about and I hope that you are still singing wherever you want, especially if it is cheering somebody up. This world needs more singing and of course, back-up dancers. LOL |

@[Leonni:34617] Agreed 100% I am seeing a lot of comments digging really deep for meaning, but this line sums it all up. She is afraid of being hurt, left, abandoned and therefore, she is going to run. Sabotaging her relationship out of the fear of being hurt. It is common and usually comes from an actual or perceived abandonment by someone in our past. It doesn't even have to be a romantic relationship that had occurred. It could be from a parent, sibling, etc. We carry this stuff forward in all future relationships unless we work it out and know that each relationship is unique and doesn't have to have the same outcome. Also, it is critical to love ourselves because as Rupaul says, if you can't love yourself, how the hell you gonna love somebody else?" So true. |

@[burgerkingisawesome:34616] I know it has been a while since you wrote this, however, if you listen to this today, would you still have the same thoughts and views? I am curious. As someone indicates below in the comments, the key is that she is afraid that it will fall through and therefore, she is holding back on committing. She is the one that will most likely cause it to fail as she just cant commit due to her fear of being hurt, which comes from her past. Someone left her and that fear carries through in life unless she can work through it alone or with a counselor. It could be the actual or perceived 'abandoment' of a parent, sibling, ex, etc. But it comes from someplace in the past and is carried into every relationship going forward. Sadly, it is totally something that most of us do. Until we learn to love ourselves and know that we are all good enough and if someone abandons us in a relationship of any kind, that it is not us and the next relationship should not be tarnished because of the past. It is hard to do. We need to love ourselves fully and until we do, how can we love someone else? Just my opinion as an old man that has been hurt and also probably hurt people due to this reason. I was afraid of being hurt and didn't think I was good enough for someone else to love me. Boy did I lose a good one 13 years ago for that reason and sadly, it isn't coming back. I can only focus on what I have now and use lessons from the past to help foster a new love and make it a success. Take care and stay safe during this pandemic. I love BK also. (aka Hardees back east, lol) |
