    I played this on loop while driving 3,500 miles cross-country... singing & bawling my brains out, as my old world crumbled around me to make way for the exponentially better life I ran TO.
    This song marked a memorable turning point.

    Saying you love me doesn’t make it so. Showing you love does.

      The difficulty is that real love is both unconditional and unilateral. As the song says, the power is in the loving, not the being loved.

    To all the exes who took advantage of me…. I rolled with the emotions, fought back, dealt with the blames from a narcissist, and here I am. I know I can’t make these people love me. Many walked away and took advantage of my strength and heart. So here? This song proves that I can get back up and still push through. Single, yet loving, living, and smiling with so much strength to survive my second kidney transplant (1993, 2018). Many hospital stays. 4 years of dialysis (2014-2018), and I’m standing. I now love myself more when no one did not.

    I ❤ this song! Because the truth speaks volumes. To just how cold-hearted some people can be. When they play with others' feelings and use them. It reminds me of that song by Patti Smyth and Don Henley. "Sometimes Love Just Isn't Enough." And some of you say. "Move on," "Get over it," and "Get past it?" Oh that's your answer? Where's your compassion? You shouldn't be telling others. How to handle a break up. Instead listen and provide comfort and assurance. That they can get through it. Because they can and will in time.
