Thank You Tom Petty

You may ask why I choose to put a Tom Petty song on this blog when I am mainly speaking about recovering from Codependcy..my reasoning is quite simple.
He is speaking about boundaries in this song. He is saying, hey, you’ve been down, kicked around and you don't have to live this way! Boundaries, creating them, sticking to them and accepting them for ourselves and others is fundamental to recovery and living healthy lives!

Turn on your iTunes, put a needle on the record, pop in this oldie but goodie and remember, you don't have to live like a refugee.

Refugee - Tom Petty We got somethin' we both know it We don't talk too much about it Yeah it ain't no real big secret all the same Somehow we get around it Listen it don't really matter to me baby You believe what you want to believe You see you don't have to live like a refugee Somewhere, somehow somebody Must have kicked you around some Tell me why you wanna lay there And revel in your abandon Listen it don't make no difference to me baby Everybody's had to fight to be free You see you don't have to live like a refugee Now baby you don't have to live like a refugee Baby we ain't the first I'm sure a lot of other lover's been burned Right now this seems real to you But it's one of those things You gotta feel to be true Somewhere, somehow somebody Must have kicked you around some Who knows, maybe you were kidnapped Tied up, taken away and held for ransom It don't really matter to me Everybody's had to fight to be free You see you don't have to live like a refugee I said you don't have to live like a refugee
