My Life as an Afterschool Special

Remember After school specials? Sure they were cheesy, poorly written, and were poorly acted, but that’s what made them so great. I remember running home from school to turn on the TV and see what major drama was going to unfold next. After School Specials were known for an amazing ability to grind realistic topics into sitcom-level mulch. That pretty much describes my life as an afterschool special.

Have you ever had a song that haunts you... that says everything you dont want to think and feel but do...
The rumors flew but nobody knew how much she blamed herself....
For years and years she tried to hide the whiskey on her breath.....
She finally drank her pain away a little at a time....
But she never could get drunk enough to get him off her mind,
Until the night She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger....
And finally drank away his memory....
Life is short but this time it was bigger
Than the strength she had to get up off her knees.

I guess it never works to try to forget someone or even anything that's happened to you. The only answer is to resolve it somehow so that it can't hurt you anymore. Hang on to your love of life!
Love,
Linda
