I have been doing some thinking about my friend Holly. She has a lot of stressful things going on in her life right now. Her husband is attending school out of state so he is only home on weekends, she has a back surgery coming up, and she is a teacher...GOD BLESS HER, and I don't really need to say more beyond that.
Sometimes she gets worked up, not crazy worked up like me, but worked up. She has issues with anxiety too. She seems to do better with medication than I do, she is still living life.
I think back to times of trouble and stress in my life, I offered her my owl hat for a little while, but I think maybe she just needs to get in touch with her inner Pink. I don't really know if it would be Pink for her, the musician, but Pink kind of kicks ass and takes no crap, and I know she likes Pink.
For me in my times of anxiety my fall black is Madea, I am a strong black woman who is armed and takes no crap either. I love Madea and I draw strength from her. If I am stressed I will tell myself "I am a strong black woman, I am a strong black woman." Getting in touch with my inner Madea~heller! I realize the visual, a crazy white woman walking around in an owl hat chanting that she is a strong black woman. That is how I roll.
Maybe Holly needs to get in touch with her inner Pink
"I will do what I please, anything that I want
I will breathe, I will breathe, I won't worry at all
You will pay for your sins, you'll be sorry my dear
All the lies, all the why's, will all be crystal clear
Na na na na - da da da da
Blow me one last kiss"
-Pink
Breathe breathe I won't worry~ sounds like pretty good advice to me.
Think Pink Holly! Everything is going to be allright!
Love and Light!
Made a wrong turn, Once or twice
Dug my way out, Blood and fire
Bad decisions, That's alright
Welcome to my silly life
Mistreated, misplaced, misunderstood
Miss "no way, it's all good", It didn't slow me down
Mistaken, Always second guessing
Under estimated, Look, I'm still around
Pretty, pretty please
Don't you ever, ever feel
Like your less than Fuckin' perfect.
Pretty, pretty please
If you ever, ever feel
Like your nothing
You're fuckin' perfect to me.
You're so mean,
When you talk, About yourself, You are wrong.
Change the voices, In your head
Make them like you Instead.
So complicated,
Look happy, You'll make it!
Filled with so much hatred
Such a tired game.
It's enough, I've done all I can think of
Chased down all my demons, I've seen you do the same.
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsty.com/pink-perfect-lyrics.html ]
Oh, Pretty, pretty please
Don't you ever, ever feel
Like your less than fuckin' perfect.
Pretty, pretty please
If you ever, ever feel
Like your nothing
You're fuckin' perfect to me.
The whole world stares so I swallow the fear,
The only thing I should be drinking is an ice cold beer.
So cool in line and we try, try, try,
But we try too hard, it's a waste of my time.
Done looking for the critics, cause they're everywhere
They don't like my jeans, they don't get my hair
We change ourselves and we do it all the time
Why do we do that? Why do I do that?
(Why do I do that?)
[Yeah~, Ohh~ pretty pretty please, Ohh~]
Pretty, pretty please
Don't you ever, ever feel
Like your less than Fuckin' perfect.
Pretty, pretty please
If you ever, ever feel
Like your nothing
You're fuckin' perfect to me.
You're perfect, You're perfect
Pretty, pretty please
Don't you ever, ever feel
Like your less than Fuckin' perfect.
Pretty, pretty please
If you ever, ever feel
Like your nothing
You're fuckin' perfect to me.
-Pink
Love you Holly <3
Pink and Medea - two women well worth looking up to. I'm all for channeling these great broads (and I mean this as the highest compliment).
