It was a cold and dreary night when it happened. I had been having a great time with my friends, going out for dinner and having a laugh. But then something changed. My friends started talking about my relationship with my partner, and things quickly took a turn for the worse.
They started talking about how I should be doing more or that I was not doing enough in the relationship. I felt like I was being attacked and it was not fair. I wanted to speak up and defend myself, but I was too afraid to say anything. I just sat there in silence, listening to the conversation and feeling increasingly hurt.
Eventually, one of my friends said something that really hurt me. They said, “You should just be over him already.” It felt like a punch in the gut. I knew that I still loved my partner and that I wasn’t going to just “get over him” in an instant. But hearing my friends say it made me feel like I was a failure.
I felt tears pricking in my eyes and I knew I had to leave. I stood up, mumbled something about needing to go, and quickly made my way out of the restaurant. As soon as I got outside, I burst into tears. I was so hurt and angry and felt like I had been betrayed by my own friends.
I thought about the situation over and over again during the weeks that followed. I wanted to confront my friends and tell them how much what they said had hurt me. But I was too scared to do so. I felt embarrassed and ashamed of my reaction and didn’t want to open myself up to more criticism.
So I wrote a song instead. The lyrics were about how their words had made me feel and how I was trying to move on from the hurt. I wrote about how I was still in love with my partner and how I would never be “over him”. It was a way for me to express my feelings without having to actually confront my friends.
The song was called “Over Me and Bae That Hurted Me”. It was a simple song but it meant a lot to me. It was my way of saying to my friends that I was still in love and that I would never get “over” my partner.
My friends never heard the song but I still think about it when I remember that night. It reminds me of the hurt that their words caused and how I was able to turn it into something positive. It also reminds me that I should always speak up for myself, even if it’s difficult. It’s important to stand up for yourself, even if it’s hard.
So if you ever find yourself in a similar situation, don’t be afraid to speak up. Don’t let anyone else make you feel like you’re not good enough or that you should just “get over” something or someone. You’re strong enough to stand up for yourself and make your voice heard. And if you need to, you can always write a song too.
