Moving On With Forgiveness And Trust

Were you hurt so bad that you could never truly love again? Has the hurt created a prison for you? Perhaps you have been criticized by others and yourself until you are to the point you don't feel worthy of love.

I think the song lyrics from Desperado by the Eagles are really powerful about describing the pain of never getting over a breakup with forgiveness. There is no freedom.

Desperado, oh, you ain't gettin' no younger
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home
And freedom, oh freedom well, that's just some people talkin'
Your prison is walking through this world all alone

The end of the song is really telling. If we never had freedom and trust, we can never move on and fully enjoy life.

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
Come down from your fences, open the gate
It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you
You better let somebody love you (let somebody love you)
You better let somebody love you before it's too late

If it has been years or decades since you let somebody love you, it is time to move on. It is easier to say than do, but it is sill true.
