Blogging To Songs: Hurt Again by MJB
So today is the 3rd post of a 2 part blog series....what can I say...I liked the idea. =P Okay so the concept of the blogging to songs series is basically I have shuffled my play list and the song that pops up is the chosen song of the post. Today's song was 'Hurt Again' by MJB.
**Sidenote:Mary's Growing Pains album should be a staple in everyone's collection...it is that feel good, smooth, easy lounging type music. AYE!!!
But any who...let me get to the post....click here>>>>>>>>>>
So the chorus to the song goes.....
But I've been there
And I've done that
And I promise..never to get hurt again (Never no no)
Never again
Never hurt again
You drive me crazy but I promise myself
never to get hurt again
Never again
Never hurt again
In all of our lives we have each come to that point where we learn; whether, it was a repetitive process that got us to that point, or one eye opening experience....we have all been there.
My 'hurt again' inspiration comes from family, friends, s/o, etc....so lets break them down....
1.) Family- I used to be EXTREMELY close to everyone in my family. I was the 'golden child' if you will. I was the 'smart' child whose parents had completed their college degrees and had successful professions (my dad as a police officer and my mom as the Director of Financial Aid). My family gave me little lea way for 'mistakes' . I always put my family before everything....if I had it, they could get it. When I found out I was pregnant, some of my family resorted to calling me names behind my back. It made its way to my ears and I was CRUSHED....beyond belief...but in the end it made me stronger and made me value those that are close to me even more!
2.) Friends- I have been done wrong by my 'closest friends'. Not to give details, but long story short, I was extremely close to a pack of females and let's just say at the end of the deal I was left with 2 real friends. So cause and effect...I loan my friendship out very seldom; however, I have found a group of girls that I cherish deeply....my boos!
3.) S/o- I was the female that put up with things because of a child...cheating, lying....everything but abuse. But in my mind, I had to do this...quitting was not an option. But that day when enough is enough...and you can't stomach anymore....that is the day when you should bust out 'Growing Pains and vow 'Never to get hurt again'.....*sigh of relief*
In giving my brief stories, I wanted to show that you have to fight and go through things to find:
1.)Who is true to you
2.) Who is loyal to you
3.) What you can stomach and what you can not
4.) Your limits...your boundaries and most of all your personality and character.
After all what doesn't kill us makes us stronger eh?
Part 4 of Blogging to Songs coming soon......
Starting Sept. 1....I am challenging myself to write 1 blog per day for 30 days.....stay tuned
Til Then,

I can really feel you on this. Especially the friends part. I really didn't have one true friend I hung out with or talked to on the phone everyday, I have what I like to call "school friends", friends I chilled with and talked to all day long at school but when the bell rang that was it. I never trusted anyone cause people never kept it real with me. My sister, and two cousins were all I ever had and who I consider to be my "boos" as you put it :). We have to be thankful for where we have been and choose to use our experiences as motivation.
