Rascal Flatts released this song years ten years ago today with the birth of it’s mother album, “Changed“, and I just know someone out there needs to read these words and hear this song right now. Yes, I get it … it’s not fun having to scrub your wounds out. THIS I KNOW TOO WELL! Why would anyone pour salt on their already raw and bleeding flesh?
Guess what, though? You can’t FIX it until you FACE it! You can’t HEAL it until you FEEL it! You can’t LAY IT DOWN until you PICK IT UP! You CAN’T live “infection free” until you peel back the scab and give it medicine … the “medicine” being “time, space, attention, and LOVE“! And those scars that are sure to follow? THEY’RE BEAUTIFUL, yours to keep, the one thing no one take ever from you, and a constant reminder of where you’ve been, how you got there, where you’re never going back, , and where you are right now: ALIVE! Just HOPE … “Hold On … Pain Ends“!
