...until you wise up"
So says Aimee Mann.
A really empowering heartwrenching song that basically makes you the teller of your own story. No matter life has debilitated you, the only person who breaks this cycle is...you. You are the one that needs to break that broken record.
But that would require the hardest part in life. The "wise up" part.
We refuse to break cycles because familiarity? Because we believe we deserve the pain? That you create drama to repair. This is dysfunction. And the minute you follow the initial reaction, you've fallen into the pit again. You break your cycle, you break your pain. Desire is pain. Longing is pain. To be proactive means you take your emotions, and bottle it for another time. It's okay NOT to feel the resentment, bitterness, jealousy or anger now. Maybe, like Andy Dufresne did in "Shawshank Redemption"...little by little carve at the wall and let the sand slowly drain from your pant leg. Eventually he was able to cut out a big enough hole to freedom. How's that for a metaphor?
