Title: We're not broken, just bent Post by: Claire on May 15, 2013, 02:44:33 PM There's a song playing on the radio right now a lot, and its words keep getting stuck in my head:
We're not broken just bent And we can learn to love again I know I'm taking the words out of context, but these are such positive and encouraging words to me in my current situation trying to heal from a difficult childhood. It's true that I'm not completely broken... . just bent. And I am learning to truly give and receive love. Title: Re: We're not broken, just bent Post by: GeekyGirl on May 15, 2013, 05:33:20 PM I love that lyric too. John Mayer's "Shadow Days," really speaks to me too:
I'm a good [wo]man with a good heart. Had a tough time, got a rough start. But I finally learned to let it go. Now I'm right here, and I'm right now and I'm open knowing somehow that my shadow days are over. Same deal, as I think the context is a little different (I think this song was about his relationship with Jennifer Aniston), but these lyrics apply. :) Title: Re: We're not broken, just bent Post by: FindingStrength on May 15, 2013, 08:48:41 PM One of the ones I've been listening/singing to is Sara Bareilles "Once Upon Another Time"
"Just yellow lines and tire marks And sun-kissed skin and handle bars And where I stood was where I was to be No enemies to call my own No porch light on to pull me home And where I was is beautiful Because I was free" Title: Re: We're not broken, just bent Post by: skelly_bean on May 16, 2013, 10:35:33 AM It's so true. At the worst of times I felt broken, but I am learning just how amazingly resilient the human spirit is. I am experiencing a real transformation in my life. Hooray for being bent and not broken! :)
