Sweet Music Man by Waylon Jennings

Earlier in the week a certain day hit.  That day marked one year after a breakup that left me feeling a lot more broken and gutted than I thought I’d be.  Long story short he loved someone else more than me, and to an extent loved being with quite a few other people that weren’t me and despite seeing how hard a time I was having towards that revelation, he said nothing.  It was the first time I had been…I hate to say betrayed, because it sounds too dramatic, but something like that.  I crashed hard. Lost a lot of friends (mutual) and stayed in most of the time.  It’s taken a long time to move on from that moment and even then, I haven’t quite gotten over that breach of trust.

But then the day hit and I looked back on what I had been doing lately and the progress I’ve made as a person.  I’m something of a photographer, I’ve made friends of my own and have been continuously gobsmacked by how much I’ve changed since January let alone last July.  And the realization came that while I haven’t quite gotten over that crap, I have moved on from it (and there IS a difference).  

I listened to this song quite a bit during that time last year.  He was a singer and Waylon Jennings is a bitter bastard, even when he’s covering this Kenny Rogers song.  But it’s an interesting landmark of a distant, yet not quite so far away time (if that makes any sense).

Enjoy.
