Forgiveness, acceptance and this song
Posted by TheGreenFairie
Written by Tom Petty. His widow thought it was about his mom, others say "her" is his widow...
Background, he grew up with an abusive father, jumped into an early marriage with someone with mental health issues. He met his second wife while they were both still married but reconnected later when they were both divorced and it was a fated love, they seemed made for each other.
The band is mostly his original band from when he left Florida for California and started on the path the fame. Released not terribly long before he passed.
I think it's forgiveness of everything. His dad for the abuse, his mom for not knowing how to escape and shelter him, his first wife for her abusiveness, but also for himself. It's for it all. But because he found his second wife and peace, she helped him find forgiveness.
I've been on that path myself. I've forgiven much in my life. I'm down to two people, the hardest two. One is myself. I think deep down, that's one of the hardest ones. And no, the other isn't that certain scorpio lol.

People are who people make them and that ain't gonna change.

Forgiveness is the right path and you made the right choice. Sometimes we get healed and learn from it. Instead of reliving the past (I'm guilty of this) , focus on what you've learned and how you plan to do better going forward.

It’s interesting in the light of the me too movement as well as other cases where individuals were exposed to be terrible people that is when the in their people try to disassociate themselves from those people.

Do you accept where you are in life? Let go of your past, just live in the moment or try to plan the future?
I think for me, I have finally let go of the past. That is a wonderful thing because it's so hard for me to do. I have been on this journey of
