PTSD Patrol finding a better way

"Drivin' my life away" is something a lot of people feel as if it explains their lives. 

The song Drivin' My Life Away came on and I thought how appropriate it was to explain what healing #PTSD is like. Looking for a better way and brighter days is what you are doing right now. Celebrate that! #BreakTheSilence and #TakeBackYourLife

Well the midnight headlights blind you on a rainy night

Steep grade up ahead, slow me down, makin' no time,

But I got to keep rollin'

Those windshield wipers slappin' out a tempo,

Keepin' perfect rhythm with the song on the radio,

But I got to keep rollin'

Ooh, I'm drivin' my life away, lookin' for a better way for me

Ooh, I'm drivin' my life away, lookin' for a sunny day

Well the truck stop cutie comin' on to me,

Tried to talk me into a ride

Said I wouldn't be sorry

But she was just a baby

Hey, waitress, pour me another cup of coffee,

Pop it down, jack me up, shoot me out, flyin' down the highway,

Lookin' for the mornin'

Ooh, I'm drivin' my life away, lookin' for a better way for me

Ooh, I'm drivin' my life away, lookin' for a sunny day

Well the midnight headlights blind you on a rainy night

Steep grade up ahead, slow me down, makin' no time,

But I got to keep rollin'

Those windshield wipers slappin' out a tempo,

Keepin' perfect rhythm with the song on the radio,

But I got to keep rollin'

Ooh, I'm drivin' my life away, lookin' for a better way for me

Ooh, I'm drivin' my life away, lookin' for a sunny day

Ooh, I'm drivin' my life away, lookin' for a better way for me

Ooh, I'm drivin' my life away, lookin' for a sunny day, yeah

Ooh, I'm drivin' my life away, lookin' for a better way for me

PTSD Patrol on the road again

Some people refuse to think about others and learn what the facts are about everything. Just like they are with COVID 19, they refuse to believe the truth and demand to do what they want to do. With PTSD they refuse to learn anything and then think they are smart. 

We know they can get in the way of healing, so remember if they cared, they would learn. Their opinion is not based on facts, so their opinion should hold no power over you. #BreakTheSilence and #TakeBackYourLife from #PTSD

On the road again

I just can't wait to get on the road again

The life I love is makin' music with my friends

And I can't wait to get on the road again

On the road again

Goin' places that I've never been

Seein' things that I may never see again

And I can't wait to get on the road again

Here we go, on the road again

Like a band of Gypsies we go down the highway

We're the best of friends

Insisting that the world keep turnin' our way

And our way is on the road again

I just can't wait to get on the road again

The life I love is makin' music with my friends

And I can't wait to get on the road again, break free

And I can't wait to get on the road again

I finally did it! I started my own business! It is a writing service called Moral Mortal and will also be a public service coming under PTSD Patrol. Anything I do on that part will be for anyone in public service and they will receive huge discounts.

Don't Stop

If you wake up and don't want to smile

If it takes just a little while

Open your eyes and look at the day

You'll see things in a different way

Don't stop thinking about tomorrow

Don't stop, it'll soon be here

It'll be, better than before

Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone

Why not think about times to come?

And not about the things that you've done

If your life was bad to you

Just think what tomorrow will do

Don't stop thinking about tomorrow

Don't stop, it'll soon be here

It'll be, better than before

Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone

All I want is to see you smile

If it takes just a little while

I know you don't believe that it's true

I never meant any harm to you

Don't stop thinking about tomorrow

Don't stop, it'll soon be here

It'll be, better than before

Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone

Don't stop thinking about tomorrow

Don't stop, it'll soon be here

It'll be, better than before

Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone

Ooh, don't you look back

Ooh, don't you look back

Ooh, don't you look back

Ooh

PTSD Patrol go your own way

GO YOUR OWN WAY

When someone you love has PTSD it is lonely and scary for them. You are the only one who knows what they are like and if you love them enough to fight for them. 

Go your own way and stop listening to your friends, learn how to help them heal and get some power tools to help you do it. #BreakTheSilence and #TakeBackYourLife from #PTSD

Fleetwood Mac

Loving you

Isn't the right thing to do

How can I ever change things

That I feel

If I could

Maybe I'd give you my world

How can I

When you won't take it from me

You can go your own way

Go your own way

You can call it

Another lonely day

You can go your own way

Go your own way

Tell me why

Everything turned around

Packing up

Shacking up is all you want to do

If I could

Baby, I'd give you my world

Open up

Everything's waiting for you

You can go your own way

Go your own way

You can call it

Another lonely day

You can go your own way

Go your own way

You can go your own way

Go your own way

You can call it

Another lonely day

Another lonely day

You can go your own way

Go your own way

You can call it

Another lonely day

You can go your own way

You can call it

Another lonely day

You can go your own way

Today there are two feature videos on how life can change for the better. My life changed many times over the years but some songs still touched me. Melissa Manchester Come In From The Rain held different meaning as my life changed. I bet there are songs that did the same for you. 

#PTSD only has the power you let it have....#BreakTheSilence and #TakeBackYourLife

Come In From The Rain 

Lyrics 

Well, hello there

Good old friend of mine

You've been reaching for yourself

For such a long time

There's so much to say

No need to explain

Just an open door for you

To come in from the rain

It's a long road

When you're all alone

And someone like you

Will always take the long way home

There's no right or wrong

I'm not here to blame

I just want to be the one

Who keep you from the rain

From the rain

And it looks like sunny skies

Now that I know you're alright

Time has left us

Older

And wiser

I know I am

'Cause I think of us

Like an old cliche

But it doesn't matter

'Cause I love you anyway

Come in from the rain

And it looks like sunny skies

Now that I know you're alright

Time has left us

Older

But Wiser

I know I am

And it's good to know

My best friend has come home again

And I think of us

Like an old cliche

But it doesn't matter

'Cause I love you anyway

Come in from the rain

Come in from the rain

Come in from the rain

Ordinary World

Lyrics

Came in from a rainy Thursday on the avenue

Thought I heard you talking softly

I turned on the lights, the TV, and the radio

Still I can't escape the ghost of you

What has happened to it all?

Crazy, some'd say

Where is the life that I recognize?

Gone away

But I won't cry for yesterday

There's an ordinary world

Somehow I have to find

And as I try to make my way

To the ordinary world

I will learn to survive

Passion or coincidence

Once prompted you to say

"Pride will tear us both apart"

Well, now pride's gone out the window

Cross the rooftops

Run away

Left me in the vacuum of my heart

What is happening to me?

Crazy, some'd say

Where is my friend when I need you most?

Gone away

But I won't cry for yesterday

There's an ordinary world

Somehow I have to find

And as I try to make my way

To the ordinary world

I will learn to survive

Papers in the roadside

Tell of suffering and greed

Fear today, forgot tomorrow

Ooh, here besides the news

Of holy war and holy need

Ours is just a little sorrowed talk

And I don't cry for yesterday

There's an ordinary world

Somehow I have to find

And as I try to make my way

To the ordinary world

I will learn to survive

Every world

Is my world

(I will learn to survive)

Any world

Is my world

(I will learn to survive)

Any world

Is my world
