offspring saved my life. thank you. " />
first time i ever heard this song, i cried.
one day my dad left, and never came back. my family never brought him up it was just an awkward thing to talk about. so i assumed he just up and left us, this was when i was 7 years old and up until i was 15 i HATED him for it.
spent all those years hating him for no reason. he didnt leave me. he didnt leave us.
my dad was murdered and my mom didnt want to believe it let alone even being to try and explain where daddy was to three young children.
after i found out he was dead, i stopped hating him and started hating myself. nine years of my life were WASTED hating a man who if he had a choice, woulda been there. he was taken from me. he didnt deserve to be hated.
guilt set in and depression was hidden behind my fake smile. everyday got harder and i couldnt find any reason to forgive myself. until i heard this song.
i realized those 9 years werent coming back no matter how much i hated myself. nothing would bring my dad back, or the time hating myself was just adding years on to my wasted life.
i got these lyrics tattooed on me so i could wake up and see them and remember that its okay. lifes okay. IM OKAY. :) just thought id put it out there that this song might be about a girl who was abused, but anyone can relate their problems to a song even if it isnt the same reason as the artists.
heres a picture of my tattoo ..... "dont waste your whole life trying to get back what was taken away".
