The Blue And Gold Warrior Who Became Stronger And Resilient

Chapter 66

When I was 21 years old I learned how to love myself all over again after dealing with so much pain I had moments in my life where I didn't want to look at myself in the mirror at all

I had moments where I didn't like going outside sometimes because I used to feel depressed and I didn't know how to handle my depression so well

I was having times where I didn't want to eat no food and I ended up starving myself where I would just get full off of water

I remember getting up one day and I wanted to go hang out so I ended up going outdoors I had went shopping and out to have lunch

When I was out I heard The Eagles song "The Long Run" and when I heard it it was a huge wake up call for me

I ended up feeling so much strength from that song I ended up doing everything that day and many more other days

The song had such a huge impact on me especially when I heard the following lyrics "You can go the distance
We'll find out in the long run
(In the long run)
We can handle some resistance
If our love is a strong one
(Is a strong one)"

Another lyric that had a impact on me was

"You know, I don't understand
Why you don't treat yourself better"

I had stopped moping around and I immediately stopped starving myself

I felt like a brand new and improved person when I heard the song

I grew up listening to the song with my mother when I was a baby and toddler my mother raised me on all of the eagles songs and albums

The Long Run is a song that made me become stronger and so much more
