    I'm bawling my eyes out during this song. I'm a 30-something year old person who just started working in a Senior Care Community as a caregiver. All the elderly residences are so sweet. On my third shift, an elderly gentlemen who liked to joke around with me told me he was off to visit his wife at another building. She was suffering with Alzheimer's and they haven't seen each other since before christmas because of Covid. He was so excited. Then when I came back, I asked how it went, and while helping him get ready for bed, he couldn't keep his brave face on anymore. He broke down crying saying 'She just smiled at me.'. She didn't remember who he was. He went on talking about how he loved her, she was his life, if she left he wanted to go too all while crying. I couldn't help but tear up and hold him. I can't imagine being elderly, and many of my friends, family, pets, places, associates, all slowly disappearing from me. ...idk, just wanted to say that. Please treat everyone with respect, because we are all hurting and many feel so lonely, but there are those out there who are willing to talk to you and understand.

    When my grandpa died we were so scared that it would kill my grandma. They were married for over 60 years. They had 3 beautiful daughters and tons of grandchildren. They travelled the whole world many times with their van and dogs together. The goodbye was hard for all of us. But they spend their whole life with each other. Every day for this entire time. And now after his death she retain the van to travel again. To visit all the places they both liked the most. She is such a strong person and I am so proud of her for not giving up on life ♥️

      I am one of these people. I tend to lose myself in relationships. The last one was really bad. I was also dealing with a narcissist though but that one damaged me so deeply. 5 years later and I’m still trying to heal. I’ve remained single. I need and want to learn how to love myself first before I can love another. I often wonder about what love used to be like back in the day…..when people stayed married and stayed together thru the ups and downs in life. That doesn’t seem to exist anymore.

      @@sari5045 The first verse really hit me. Dealing with a narcissist is the worst. 4 years alone next week for me. After 18 years with her I was left with no friends, no self esteem, a huge empty void in my heart, and hardest of all, questions that will never be answered. Discarded with no discussion and no warning. I thought we had made it. I was so wrong. Sucker punched. I hope that love of which you speak still exists. It's probably just a little harder to find with all the noise in the world. I don't seek it. I seek my self now. Perhaps that love will find me of its own accord. Perhaps it will find you. Keep on keepin' on. You still have you. Peace.

    I remembered I first found this song from when I was thinking I would be single forever, and now coming back to it again for strength after losing the love of my life suddenly after a year and a half of being together. 3/18/21. He was 31 and died in his sleep. Life is so unfair. Kaitis was my everything and we thought we would be together our whole lives. Now I must live my life for us both. I love you so much honey. I will never forget you.

That although the love of their lives passed away you know you still have you. The strength it took you to come back and make a comment. To share it with us. My heart. My spirit. My soul.

    This lady, dancing alone, she reminded me of one very good friend of our family. She died from cancer, but there was one last party, organized for her by friends. She was already in a wheelchair, not being able to walk or even to breathe without an oxygen. But she wanted to dance and she was dancing, in the wheelchair alone. She was a great woman, very kind and very generous and smart. We were not that close, but I often remember her and miss her

    it takes a lot of untapped courage to admit to yourself that you have to choose you, and to free your heart from the burden of knowing that you were not chosen by the person you would always choose in a heartbeat is a great form of bravery- much more, to leave no grudge to the person who did not choose you, I think, is the greatest gift you can give yourself. It's hard to admit that we can not amount to the person they need but it is always necessary. There is a great relief that with everything that has been said and done, you can still find it in your heart to be yourself, to choose yourself and to love yourself.

    Lyrics...
    "I'll Still Have Me"
    I broke my back 'cause
    I thought you would too
    I'd run in circles
    I thought you would too
    Maybe in another life
    Everything worked out alright
    And things that made this harder passed us by
    But there's no bad dream to wake up from
    Know I got it bad when it's the morning
    And you're all that's on my mind
    If I don't have you
    At least I'll still have me
    And if I don't have you
    At least I'll still have me
    I never thought twice
    'Cause you were my number one
    I put you first 'cause
    You were my only thought
    No more riding on the train
    No more smoking in the alley
    Now my secrets only stay with me
    Everybody knows I'm upset
    They don't even have to ask it
    They know I believed in us last week
    And if I don't have you
    At least I'll still have me
    And if I don't have you
    At least I'll still have me
    And there's no reason to speak badly
    We just reached our end
    I will see you in parts of me
    In who I was back then
    If I don't have you

    I broke my back 'cause
    I thought you would too
    I'd run in circles
    I thought you would too
    Maybe in another life
    Everything worked out alright
    And things that made this harder passed us by
    But there's no bad dream to wake up from
    Know I got it bad when it's the morning
    And you're all that's on my mind
    If I don't have you
    At least I'll still have me
    And if I don't have you
    At least I'll still have me
    I never thought twice
    'Cause you were my number one
    I put you first 'cause
    You were my only thought
    No more riding on the train
    No more smoking in the ally
    Now my secrets only stay with me
    Everybody knows I'm upset
    They don't even have to ask it
    They know I believed in us last week
    And if I don't have you
    At least I'll still have me
    And if I don't have you
    At least I'll still have me
    And there's no reason to speak badly
    We just reached our end
    I will see you in parts of me
    In who I was back then
    If I don't have you
    At least I'll still have me
    And if I don't have you
    At least I'll still have me, me, me

    You know, one thing I really noticed was her smile at the end. That smile alone tells a whole story full of bittersweetness, peacefulness, and acceptance. You can tell whoever she’s singing about still is part of her, but she finally accepts that that person’s gone and I think that’s beautiful. Because I’ve felt that before, had that same smile before….

    My great godparents -aunt Betty and uncle john. When aunt Betty passed away of old age, every night he would talk to the poster with pictures of them together that was at her funeral. He would say that he would join her soon. He did 6 months later. They were together over 70 years. I’ve never seen a love so pure between the two. They traveled the world together and their house was full of trinkets he would get her on every trip. Gosh I miss them.

  • @rylinmariel6431
    @rylinmariel6431 Před 3 lety +1694

    The video is a nice commentary on how in earlier generations - in my generation, in fact - people felt that they were not whole people without a mate. For my own part, I feel like it's a shame it took me til I was in my late fifties to figure that out. Now I'm sixty-four, I'm alone, and I'm reasonably happy. And that brings me to the fact that happiness is vastly overrated - in the sense that in the world today, and this began in my generation, I guess, everyone started chasing this illusion that they could be happy all the time - but that's just not possible. All kinds of things come into our lives: illness, heartache from the loss of loved ones, and it can be possible to attain some kind of superficial happiness "all the time" when you're younger, but as you get older, it's harder and harder to hang onto that kind of happiness all the time, until at last (if you're lucky!) you realize how hollow it is. There is another kind of positivity that one can have, that acknowledges sadness as well as joy, and embraces all that life has to bring, changes what needs to be changed and can be, and accepts what can't, and looks for a greater sense of meaning, in whatever form that sense comes. The ability to be content on one's own is part of that kind of adjustment, and the consequent inner wholeness.

      It's do-able if it's true love. It happened to me. I can; but unfortunately, he can't. Love is unconditional, so it's worth fighting for; but he always gave up whenever things went down without putting a 100% effort in it. In the end, it hurts when i was the only one who's holding at the end of the rope for us. He has a choice, either to move forward for the betterment, or to stay the same. He chose the later. It's sad.

    I was at a friend of the familys wedding reception. I was 16 years old. I didn't have a very good home life back then, and I had zero confidence, kind of an ugly duckling and even at such an early age was extremely depressed, hopelessl and very alone.
    I was dancing by myself just like the old woman in the video and I heard a voice say " Why are you dancing by yourself? Let me cut in." And it was a handsome guy around the same age, with a pretty smile and an earring.
    I d danced with him and I just laid my head on his shoulder like I knew him forever hahaha*cringe* but it meant so much to me. Afterwards he asked to kiss me and I had my first kiss.
    I never saw him again but his name was Brandon and I smile wherever I hear that name. Never be afraid to dance alone, because you never know who is out there that will want to cut in.

      Finding out that there are others who have been in a happy, healthy relationships and they could see their "forever's" with that person .. ending up not being together after years and years of relationship... Its just feels so saddening. Like there are so many who get their happy endings why didn't we.
      My relationship ended last year.. on 18th may ..silly how some dates just get imprinted on your mind. As if someone tattooed it
      .. and I never ever saw it coming.. never expected it. Because everything was just really good. Almost like a fairytale good. Yes we had our fights we had our drawbacks and ugly sides but still it was something I was happy to last forever with
      His life goals changed. His needs became something that didnt align with mine anymore. After 6 years he didn't want the same things anymore . And so it was a separation I didn't want but could do anything about it.
      I thought it might get better with time. But it's been a year and still hurts like hell as if it happened yesterday.

    This song punched me in the gut. 12 years we were together. I don't know how to be just me and I'm lost. He gave up. I fought so hard but I know it's time to part ways. It still hurts like hell and I'll miss him for a long time being my whole world.

      It must be really tough, when he was everything for you for so long. It must be too friggin tough cause you were with him for so long, and you probably just don't know how to be without him, anymore. But things get better, and you grow stronger. You will always have you, and that's all you need. I believe you are the only person you need. Stay strong!
