misread that as
Whip It - Devo... which would also be pretty good.

We Got The Beat is fabulous as is Our Lips Are sealed.

Make Believe Mambo - David Byrne from his fabulous Rei Momo album - made with South American musicians.

 

[orangecurious]

If you see a faded sign at the side of the road that says
Fifteen miles to the, love shack, love shack yeah

From one of my favorite 80s bands...

Good Work - The BoDeans
Closer to Free - The BoDeans

Also,
Head Over Heels - The Go-Go's

ETA: Changed my mind on "Good Work". Probably not a good fit, and The BoDeans arent everyone's taste (Americana / Folkabilly).

Some of my faves:

I’ll Be There For You- The Rembrandts
Don’t Stop- Fleetwood Mac
Twist and Shout- Isley Brothers
House of Fun-Madness
Don’t Stop Believing- Journey
Girls Just Wanna Have Fun- Cyndi Lauper

These are from my Cheer Up playlist

I felt like Eponine until I realized he was Javert.
I felt like Elpheba until I realized he was Boq.
I felt loved until I realized I was useful.
I felt like Cinderella until I realized I was an ugly stepsister.

 

[LaisDeMarieDeFrance]

Definitely not that girl.

From Reddit:​

If your ex moved on too quickly​

Let’s be real, seeing them move on like that? It stings. One minute, they’re saying "they need time", and the next, they’re all over "someone new" like you never existed.

And now you’re stuck wondering: Did I even mean anything to them? How did they replace me so easily? Were they ever even hurting?

So here’s the ugly truth, and I need you to hear this: They didn’t move on fast. They moved on wrong.

Some people jump into something new just to distract themselves because they can’t handle being alone.

Some people were already checked out emotionally way before it ended, so it looks like they moved on overnight.

And some? They just use other people as a band-aid so they never have to sit with their feelings.
But don’t get it twisted. Just because they’re with someone else doesn’t mean they’re healed. Running from pain isn’t the same as facing it. And trust me, one day, it’ll catch up to them.

Meanwhile, you’re actually healing. You’re doing the hard work, sitting with the pain, and growing from it. And when the day comes that they finally realize they never truly moved on? You won’t even care anymore.
Next time you start overthinking, come back to this.

Here's the thing, we started out friends
It was cool, but it was all pretend
You're dedicated, you took the time
Wasn't long 'til I called you mine

And all you'd ever hear me say
Is how I picture me with you
That's all you'd ever hear me say

How can I put it? You put me on
I even fell for that stupid love song
You had your chance, you blew it
Out of sight, out of mind

Reminder to myself if I'm stupid enough to be tempted to fall for someone else.

"You deserve better, I would never do that to you." If you hear these words, run. The first man broke your heart, the second shattered it into a million pieces.

They all tell you how wonderful you are, how they're so lucky to be with you. How the last one was a fool. Don't believe anything said while their cock is hard.

They want only you, until they get bored and want others.

They want to talk about everything, until they don't feel like it.

They tell you they love your honesty and openness, until they are afraid of your reaction to their inexcusable behavior.

Everything is your fault because you were depressed, you didn't feel like being sexy. You didn't give enough, you didn't support enough. It's all about them, not you. Communication is a two way street. You can't talk it out when you're shut out.

You didn't lose them. They lost you. You DO deserve better. Nobody is worth crying yourself to sleep for months and months. If they feel bad, they should. If they say anything bad about you to others, f them! Your mistake was trusting again.

You have been abused and emotionally neglected by men in every conceivable way since you were a child. You have every right to be angry and hurt, especially with those who knew your trust issues and treated you as a disposable afterthought anyway.

You have a right to express and process these feelings of anger, pain & betrayal however you choose. Anyone who judges you for it can f right off.

I can't imagine crushing someone this way. I sincerely hope that I haven't and it doesn't appear that I have. I sincerely doubt anyone has ever cried this long and this hard over me. Maybe some day someone will love me and their love and devotion will match mine. 1st was 3 months before he moved on. 2nd was 3 years before he wanted more. Maybe the next will be 30 years. But Idk I have the courage to hope again.

No lies, but the rest is accurate.

I can't talk to my family about my issues with my husband or his business. I can't talk to him about anything that makes me cry because he sees this as manipulation. I obviously can only talk to Lit people about Lit things. So here's where I voice my pain, my heartbreak, my stupidity, my hopes, my dreams, my disappointments, my goals, my desires, etc. This is me screaming into the void.

How long is appropriate to mourn what I thought I had? Starting to live my life without rose colored glasses, believing the best of people, giving and trusting before it's earned. #nofilters
