I Love My Ipod
Well, it was one of the things that did, anyway. My iTouch was a gift from someone really special at the very lowest point in my life. I've dealt with many tough things in my life... rape, ******, and molestations... even giving up a child for adoption at 16... but I've NEVER been so low that I lost hope and thought of ending my life until September of last year.
In the midst of this huge ordeal, I grabbed a bottle of pills and poured them into my hand. I can't say I was really going to take them--- I consider myself a thoughtful, intelligent, positive God-fearing person--but a part of my heart broke that day and triggered memories of the adoption, abandonment and so many other overwhelming feelings that for some reason I chose to pour those pills into my hand and start walking away from everyone I knew.
I didn't take the pills (prescribed meds, btw) and I literally cried for the next few days but on the 4th day my special person gave me my iPod, saying, "I don't know if my words will help you heal, but I know how much you love music and I think you've neglected yourself for too long--so I want you to add all of your favorites and more... and take the time you need to get back to YOU!
It was a thoughtful gift and so perfect! By days end I almost had it full (it helps when family already had 7,000+ songs in their iTunes!) and I began listening. I cried for a few days to Annie Lennox, WHY, and NO MORE I LOVE YOU'S and went thru my childhood The Beatles HERE COMES THE SUN and PENNY LANE, then Seals and Croft, and Elton from GOODBYE YELLOWBRICK ROAD to eventually his I'M STILL STANDING.... and.. guess what...... I was!
Oh yes... and that's also the week that I found EP!
And now you know the Rest of the Story~~~~~ (is that copyrighted??? ; )
