Tornado

Last week, one of my best friends told me she had just heard two songs that reminded her so much of me. One is a song by Little Big Town called Tornado.

It's a song about a women who's collected all of the pain and rage caused by a guy who's hurt her. He thought he could change the weather by controlling her. Later, she goes after him like a tornado. If you've ever seen the wrath of that force of nature, you know how destructive and unexpected a tornado can be. They just pick things up, toss them around then drop them. Just like the song says.

I've felt like picking things up and spinning them around and hurling them as far as I can a couple of times in my life. I may talk about it, but I haven't. I know I could though. And I would.

Perception always fascinates me. I wish more women could keep that sweet nature. But their guy needs to know if he ever crosses that line - by controlling them or being emotionally or physically abusive - they spawn that tornado. And they won't forget it.

The song's had almost 3.5 million hits on YouTube, so it must resonate with someone out there. It did with me.

Love to the single girls,
