Those Damn Relationships – Part 1.
By Daniel Barrera, M.Ed., C.A.R.T., LPC A Licensed Professional Counselor and Life Coach helping musicians and creatives thrive. Most of us are taught to be kind to others. Be patient. Be understanding. Give people the benefit of the doubt. And many of us are actually pretty good at this. We show up for friends when they’re struggling. We soften our tone when someone makes a mistake. We can usually see stress, context, or pain when it comes to other people.

There are songs you hear your whole life, and then there are songs you finally listen to. That distinction hit me one lazy Sunday afternoon. My wife and I had finished our household chores and settled into that quiet pocket of the day when the light softens and time slows down. ‘Yacht Rock Radio’ on Sirius XM played in the background. Ice clinked in our glasses. Then an old song from 1979, ‘Escape (The Piña Colada Song)’ by Rupert Holmes drifted through the room. I’ve heard that song countless times.
