Liars definatly suck! The worst are the ones that just dont tell you unless you ask the right questions and then they can fo on living and feeling like they are good honest people. (My ex was a double lifer and he wasted my tine and youth)

Ive heard the term post traumatic growth. I know i have grown, i know i am different but not quite sure how...

I think maybe i dont get anxious or sweat the small stuff like i used to, since my whole scale in life switched. For example, im not really stressed about doing an upcoming presentation for a bunch of higher ups about a service i offer because i know, its really not a big deal in the scheme of things.

Tom Petty's songs got me through DBing and through divorce. Two of my favorites:

You Got Lucky
Tom Petty
You better watch what you say
You better watch what you do to me
Don't get carried away
Girl, if you can do better than me
Go, yeah, go
But remember
Good love is hard to find
Good love is hard to find
You got lucky, babe
You got lucky, babe
When i found you
You put a hand on my cheek
And then you turn your eyes away
If you don't feel complete
If i don't take you all of the way
Then go, yeah, go,
But remember
Good love is hard to find
Good love…
Yeah go,
Just, go,
But remember
Good love is hard to find
Good love is hard to find
You got lucky, babe
You got lucky, babe
When i found you
Songwriters: Michael W. Campbell / Tom Petty
You Got Lucky lyrics © Warner/Chappell Music, Inc


"Don't Come Around Here No More"

Don't come around here no more
Don't come around here no more
Whatever you're looking for
Hey! don't come around here no more

I've given up, I've given up
I've given up on waiting any longer
I've given up, on this love getting stronger

I don't feel you any more
you darken my door
Whatever you're looking for
Hey! don't come around here no more

I've given up, I've given up
I've given up, you tangle my emotions
I've given up, honey please admit it is over

[Chorus]

Stop walking down my street
Who do you expect to meet?
Whatever you're looking for
Hey! don't come around here no more

And oddly enough - he's not! At least not right this minute. LAPD admits to mistakenly releasing that information. Don't get me wrong - he's likely to die soon, pulled off life support and on a Do Not Resuscitate order. But not dead yet (and a tweet from his daughter to Rolling Stone blasting them for reporting that).

Which brings to mind another great song of his:
Well, I won't back down
No, I won't back down
You can stand me up at the gates of hell
But I won't back down
No, I'll stand my ground
Won't be turned around
And I'll keep this world from draggin' me down
Gonna stand my ground
And I won't back down
(I won't back down)
Hey, baby, there ain't no easy way out
(I won't back down)
Hey, I will stand my ground
And I won't back down
Well I know what's right
I got just one life
In a world that keeps on pushin' me around
But I'll stand my ground
And I won't back down
(I won't back down)
Hey, baby, there ain't no easy way out
(I won't back down)
Hey, I…
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
(I won't back down)
Hey, I won't back down
(I won't back down)
Hey, baby, there ain't no easy way out
(I won't back down)
Hey, I will stand my ground
And I won't back down
No, I won't back down

According to CNN, he died yesterday evening. He was relatively young; I thought he'd be around a lot longer.

My parents live in Gainesville, FL, where Tom Petty was born and raised.
