I will survive

Never paid too much attention before to the Lyrics of the song "I will survive" by Gloria Gaynor.

But oh so fitting for most of the words for so many of us. It helped me jammed to it yesterday. Even when I am at thr first afraid part, like to think of the better days.

In case it helps some of you today.

"At first I was afraid, I was petrified. Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side.
But then I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong. And I grew strong, and I learned how to get along

Did you think I'd crumble?
Did you think I'd lay down and die?

Oh, no, not I
I will survive
Oh, as long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
And I'll survive
I will survive, hey, hey

It took all the strength I had not to fall apart
Kept trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart
And I spent, oh, so many nights just feeling sorry for myself
I used to cry but now I hold my head up high

And you see me somebody new
I'm not that chained-up little person still in love with you
And so you felt like dropping in
And just expect me to be free
And now I'm saving all my loving for someone who's loving me"

Re: I will survive

Yeah..my GX I think expected me to
maybe not  lay down and die but maybe to go live in a cardboard box.. 

Nope, now hold my head up high, face in the wind.  I'm doing so much better than with her.
