[lizaisdrawing]

Thank you all! 🤍

Did not think I’d reach this milestone when I first posted my Wally fanart on a whim one night haha

[diospore]

I hope that in the next life

I get to be a child, really a child

One that is safe in their own home

One that doesn't have to walk on eggshells

A child who doesn't feel like a burden

And who is comfortable existing

Who doesn't have to hide their feelings

Who doesn't have to sacrifice themself

To keep the house in balance

Maybe in the next life

I won't watch him hit her

And watch her choose to stay

Even when she could leave

Maybe I won't hear her tell me

That love is supposed to be difficult

That hurt is inevitable, pain is acceptable

And be her unwilling confidante

A child who couldn't save their mother

A mother who wasn't there for her child

In the next life, maybe I'll fight back

When someone hurts me

I won't feel like I deserved it

I won't make excuses for them

I'll learn how to defend myself

I'll know how to set healthy boundaries

I'll understand when it's time to let go

In the next life,

Maybe I won't think I'm unworthy

Or that the whole world is secretly waiting

To leave at the moment it hurts me most

Maybe then I won't tie my self worth

To how small I can make my feelings

To how much I can please others

To how little I let myself want

I beg of whatever God or force exists

That in the next life, I will be soft

My edges not sharpened by trauma

My heart not beaten and scarred over

My mind clear and easy to navigate

And when I find you again,

It'll feel the same; like I'm finally home

And in this version,

Home was always safe and warm and soft

So I won't have to fight my past

The way I do in this one

But right now, we are here

And I'm still learning how

To let go of my old habits

You make me believe I can do it

And that this life can be good

Regardless of what came before

I can rebuild home from the ground up

I will make it safe and warm and soft

So I can be there with you

Until the next one.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to ABBEY ROAD—The 1969 epic album by The Beatles, Lynn Anderson, Johnny Appleseed, photographer/photojournalist (and my friend from the Davy Jones/Monkees orbit) Michael G. Bush, Carleen Carter, Craig Chaquico (good to have met you), Darby Crash (The Germs), Gal Costa, Donna Douglas, T.S. Eliot, one of my musical heroes Bryan Ferry, David Frizzell, another one of my musical heroes George Gershwin, Linda Hamilton, Dick Heckstall-Smith, Shannon Hoon (Blind Melon), Dolores Keane, Amanda Kearns, Julie London, Olivia Newton-John, OMD’s 1980 “Enola Gay” single, Ivan Pavlov, César Rosas (Los Lobos), Tracey Thorn, Stuart Tosh, the musical WEST SIDE STORY (premiered 1957), Serena Williams, and a great American singer-songwriter, entertainer, and NASCAR racing driver Marty Robbins. As one of the pioneers of “outlaw country music,” he released 500 recordings and 60 hit singles from the late 1940s into the 1980s. He’s best known for the western ballad “El Paso,” and I’m a fan of his interpretation of “Red River Valley.” I play both of those songs in assisted living homes, along with Marty’s “A White Sport Coat & A Pink Carnation”— https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qB0NM8JbYM

The lyrics portray a shattered young man who was stood up at the prom but, without saying, you know he’s going to bounce back. Marty got the visual for this song after passing a group of teenagers decked out for their high school prom. He zipped off this song in 20 minutes. His original 1957 track is premium country-pop trimmed with doo-wop and rockabilly. His creamy smooth voice owns the story, and his goal was to out-chart his earlier single “Singing the Blues,” which was eclipsed by a competing version by crooner Guy Mitchell. Ray Conniff arranged Mitchell’s international hit, and Marty insisted Ray run the session for his new song. Marty’s instincts were correct—it became his 3rd #1 hit, and it’s still on playlists and soundtracks (it’s also name-checked in Don McLean’s “American Pie”). It’s a fun vocal work-out. If you have prom photos you’d like to share (white sport coat optional), please post. Meanwhile, HB MR and thank you for your great singing and giving us so many songs.

Pink Carnation 🌸 #095

In this world of memories, there exists a love so profound and unforgettable. It was a love that defied all odds, transcending time and space. Their hearts danced to a rhythm only they could hear, their souls intertwined like delicate threads of fate. Every touch ignited a fire that no distance could extinguish, every word whispered carried the weight of eternity. They shared moments of pure bliss, where the world around them faded into insignificance, and all that mattered was the love they embraced. It was a love that spoke a language beyond words, a love that etched its mark upon their souls. Though circumstances may have separated them, this love remains eternally imprinted upon their hearts, a timeless reminder of a love that will never be forgotten.

Yours Faithfully🌻
