Need Time To Heal: Take It Easy On Me By The Little River Band

A couple of days ago, I blogged about letting a partner go when the relationship was going nowhere and how it was best for both parties involved. Still once it ends, it isn't that easy to get over the hurt. This is true when you see or bump into your ex and all of a sudden emotions start to flood your very being and you feel like some venom incapacitated you. It hurts even more when they awkardly say goodbye and hurry off, leaving you standing there holding back the grief. Whenever I think of those situations, I remember the song "Take It Easy On Me" by the Little River Band.

A lot of times, I play this song when things don't turn out well for me, especially during relationships. It really hurts when you the fish escapes you're line, no matter how hard you pull. It's even worse when you go to places that remind you of your ex which used to be fun but now becomes hollow after that person has left you. Although, you know you made the right the decision, when the brake-up or the rejection is still recent, everything else is a blurr and even if you have other things to attend to, the pain is so intense that the world just stops and you find shelter where you can let it all out. First comes the numbness followed by the sorrow as the memories of what was flow out of your body through your tears as you surrender to the hurt.

Time heals all wounds and eventually we get over it because we should. In time, we just chalk it up as one of life's lessons about relationships. If there's anything I've learned from experiences like these is that we need time to heal and we shouldn't lie to ourselves that it's nothing. Just take a moment and let it all out before doing anything else. We will rise above it later on and continue with our lives. In the meantime, just take it easy on the individual because this is really hard to accept.
