@@claireharris3474 Absolutely. There is no making it right, especially when the bullying directly to a person being fundamendatly changed for LIFE , sometimes committing serious crimes, like a school shooting, and/or committing suicide. It is 100% repugnant behavior. I sometimes joke that anyone with a bully can come to me and I will handle it, because I could smack a bully half my age, throw them in my trunk and then help people search for them, and sleep just fine at night. But it's more of a defense mechanism, using dark humor to cope with the fact that I was almost killed by a group of 5 girls who for over an hour ganged up on me, jumping on my head and chest, biting me, holding my body up so they could kick and watch me collapse, and using the words of the youngest sister, kicked my head like a 'soccerball' etc, (who happened to be my 4 closest friends and the younger sister of 2. The 2 sisters forced their then 12 1/2 year old sister to kick me by smacking her and telling her she was next if she didn't) I was 14. All while people around the park could hear all of it, but not 1 called the police or even came out to see what was happening. If I hadn't been found stumbling and covered in blood, by my friend 'M' , I would be dead. (He also put himself in danger by testifying on my behalf. The youngest sister did as well) This happened because my friend had a crush on my boyfriend and wanted me out of the way, by death or disfigurement. Some may remember Reena Virk, who was killed around the same time as my attack and Matthew Sheppard, the young gay man who was beaten and left to die alone tied to a fence in an empty field, by a group of pathetic homophobic men. If you do not know these 2 cases, I will warn you, if you look them up, be prepared. The details are heartbreaking and horrific. The cruelty exhibited and then the complete injustice of their killers barely being punished. Kelly Ellard especially (Reena's case) Nobody should ever be able to do things like this, but it's especially hard to take when it is children or young adults who are not only the victims but also the perpetrators.

25 years ago my piano teacher, Deborah Taylor of Murfreesboro, TN struggled with a 6 year old me-- blood sweat and tears-- because INSISTED on learning this song. It required far more skill than I had at the time, but because she saw I was determined, she relented. Patient as an angel she spent the year it took for me to play it note for note. Every year at recitals I had to play 3 songs when others only had 2, and every year this was one of them. After 10 years as her pupil, she suddenly had to leave her career after 20+ years. She was diagnosed with Lou Gherigs disease and died less than a year later in her early 40's. I sat down at the piano tonight and for the first time in over a decade tried remembering how to play this song. After hearing it it brought up all the memories I had of that special woman. Thank you to the people that made this song. ❤
My father passed away last year in May from Lou Gehrig’s. What a terrible thing to watch someone you love and is your whole world and hub of your family lose abilities we all take for granted. For example walking, playing piano, breathing! Thank you for sharing your story. Sorry I didn’t look to see how long ago this was originally posted but either way Godbless
😢😢 This song is my favorite from Tim McGraw along with "Everywhere." It always gets to me since I was bullied a lot as a kid for being autistic. I love everybody for who they are inside and out. No matter what.
Adam Lee Nichols my son has autism and both my boys were bullied and what I tell them is those kids that bully you well they are just jealous of who you are and who you will become because they know they could never be you!
@@bethany.kellie7734 Listen to the lyrics the first line is about a bullied kid what Rhett Corbin said makes perfect sense with this song it's about how you treat people and how it comes back to haunt you and forgiveness the love of Jesus even if you don't love yourself
This song rang true to me because I was a bully. I can still see the people I was cruel to. It makes me sick inside. When the end of the song says "one of these days I'm gonna love me," I finally realized my self hate was destroying the people around me. I didn't know how to love me or anyone so I tore them down to feel like I was feeling. The song of sweet forgiveness is real. We are all practicing being better on each other. Unfortunately these lessons take time to learn and many people in the meantime get hurt.
You have hurt a lot of people being a bully. I feel awful for you. You've lost out on life. Trust me when I tell you the ones you bullied are not going to love you. They are just thanking God you are out of their life. And they will not have to put up with your dumb azz.
I am only 12 years old in middle school and when I heard this song today during a talk about bullying it made me want to cry to think about how Cruel are world is is hard enough we need to learn how to treat people with respect and love. If we did that maybe those kids that took there life wouldn’t have!
I’ll never forget hearing this song in my English class during my second year of high school for as long as I live. This song opened up my eyes to not be such an angry person and learn to love people. Because sometimes someone just needs a little love to make them feel appreciated and wanted. I learned to love myself for once instead of feeling nothing but anger and emptiness. Emptiness that almost led to a suicide attempt. That’s when my mom played this for me again. On the way back from the psych ward. And I remember turning to her and saying “I want to love myself again. But I need help” and here I am 5 years later alive and thriving!
My family disowned me because they think I ruined my mom's life. I worked so hard to change who I was; graduated with honors and got a degree, then became an author. They called me worthless and turned thier backs, but I've learned to love me even though it hurts.

@@liamuchiha5352 Never think that!!! We are all going through different phases in life but one day we will figure out what self love really means. In the mean time all we can do is try our best to be happy and healthy!
Thank you, Tim. This song, when I heard it, made me tear up and realize I didn't really love myself. Not even sure why. I've always kinda had some self esteem issues. Not so bad now. I come back to this song periodically to remind myself to try to love myself
Another one of my personal favorites from Tim. It takes me back to a better place and time, and the lyrics are just so relatable. "Everywhere," "Just To See You Smile," and "One Of These Days" has to be the best trio of singles he's released in a row.
This was actually wrote by a different dude it was wrote by the same guy who wrote god bless the broken road that the rascal Flatts sing his names Mike Hammon
This song is SO beautiful and gives me chill and makes me tear up because I went thru the same thing. In 5th grade I was called names and made fun of. We were poor and hungry. Only 3 dresses for school. It hurts... badly. I hope those kids realized the same way as adults. God bless anyone for going thru it too! 🤗
Such an amazing and poignant song. Especially when it touches on loving yourself as a person. When you hate what’s inside you, you treat others with contempt and cruelty. Learning to love yourself allows you to love others!
This song hits me straight in the gut.Growing up I remember how I never wanted to go to school,kids wouldn’t let me sit on the bus and I never fit in.I still don’t fit in really to this day.Not even with my family.I’m 35 years old and still have yet to find a guy that will come into my life and “love me” and after all the struggles I’m still trying to “love me” and I hope it happens sooner than later
It's okay to be the black sheep of your family. I've been that way for a long time now. They do their thing, and I do mine. We coexist better that way. It's them that's more often then not more miserable then you are.
This song still makes me cry after the many times I've listened to it but it also heals something inside, and I just want to dedicate this to you, rich, because when I hear it I think of you....
This song also makes me feel like i should have been more thoughtful and kind towards others growing up, I feel terrible about things I've done, when i was a child. I hope I'll be forgiven for all my wrong doings. ❤ Paul Allen McArthur ❤
I forgave the man who SA’d me, I’ve prayed for him, I’ve hoped the best for him, told him I was sorry when his brother died & he’s still a horrible person to me. He reaches out to me every once in a while & idk why. He called me a narc today bc i turned him in & that was years ago. All I could think about was this song. I hope one day he gives his life to Jesus & turns from the way his is. I know he can be forgiven & once he realizes that, it’ll be the best day of his life.
Heard this song for the first time today and It automatically made me think about the love of my life who walked away from me 2 months ago after being together for 3 years, and without a doubt I know one of these days he's going to stop and think and realize what he walked away from.
+rodeogal23 I can tell you that I boke up with a girl in high school because she got in to an out of town college, I hurt her and she didn't understand. but I couldn't let her stay just for me not with a better opportunity waiting for her. we kept in touch and I probably could have had her back when college was done but she had become exactly what I thought, better in every way. she grew wings and of course I still think "what if". but I think by letting her go I did good cause she's happy and married with kids. we're friends on IG so I see that she's happy. sometimes if you love someone you have to let them go.
Robbie Vigil Thank You so much for that, its nice hearing things from another point of view. I honestly hope he finds what he no longer could find in me and I also hope that he notices how much ive grown since he left me. When he walked away from me, I was in the lowest ive ever been in my life and I can say that today I am even stronger then I was. He made me become stronger, I had no choice. He will one day either regret letting me go, or he will be so happy that he did. I will always have that " what if " in the back of my head but I know that theres a reason why he left me, its now just my job to find out that reason.
This is when music was great! Such memories😉 a friend passed about 2 years ago well 2 friends and I miss them and haven’t seen them in years but we always talked on Facebook and I miss them so much! One didn’t love me even though we shared a child and it’s all I wanted but I wasn’t good enough but really he wasn’t good enough for me, one of these days I’m gonna LOVE me, one of these days I’m gonna rise above me💜💜
Being bullied when I was a little kid was a terrible thing, but there's nothing like seeing the pain in your own younger sibling/your child's/your neice/nephew's eyes. It sets something off inside of you, an indescribable feeling.
I thank the Good Lord for His forgiveness. But I know I will be broken hearted until the day I die. While I endured so much at the hands of others, I hurt others too. It's that latter that kills my heart so much. I guess it's maybe compensation to them that I will never be comfortable on this Earth, I will never know a day without horrendous pain that brings me to the point that I spend every day begging to be Home with Jesus. Maybe those who hurt me, in turn, were right. Maybe I'm defective. Maybe for me, I'm forgiven, but I was born not deserving any happiness on this Earth.
This song came out when I was in high schook. It was powerful then; now I play it and sing it to my 4 year old son everynight as part of his bedtime. Works everytime and still hits daddy in the feels. Love you Bubba
Just love this song. I have this CD. It's been a long time since I've heard this song. What an awesome song and yes it's the perfect fit for his voice I say.
This song really makes me want to cry it’s gets me emotional 🥹 I hate it when others talk bad about me I need God in my life I need good people in my life
Sure would like more songs like this today. Would have liked more of them when I was a kid. This song came out after I graduated high school but it certainly applied to my time in school. I was picked on, beat up, property destroyed, harassed and even assaulted by practically everyone, even some of the teachers, faculty and police. Neither of my parents believed me, even if I came home with black and blue marks on my face or back. My mother's first response was "Well what did you do to instigate it?" and for a long time I never knew what was wrong. I finally figured it out toward the end of my Junior year, that no one else was going to love me, I had to start by loving myself. It was hard at first, because I believed I wasn't worthy. But once I realized I could accomplish something by applying myself to it, I could handle the abuse. Pretty soon it was no fun to pick on me and they all left me alone. Of course I still remember their faces and I've forgiven them for being the mean kids in my life. It doesn't make what they did right. But I don't hold it against them anymore. In fact I kind of laugh a little about it, thinking that they spent all that energy and time on me, a kid who could handle it instead of picking on someone else who might not have been strong enough. I'm okay with that! Someday they'll feel bad for what they did and it's too late when it's someone who feels like they have no one else to turn to and no one who cares. I had me, and that's what counted all along.
My wife was a both side and so was I and now we look back at that time and wonder if the bullies ever changed thier ways we changed our ways and we felt bad for being a bully and we will make sure to teach our kids not to be a bully and to help people that want help
Ooff someone posted the lyrics on social media, hadn't heard the song in long while. The impact is the same such a beautiful song. And a great reminder.
I dedicate this song to my "brothers" the hearsay brothers. I hope one of these days you're gonna love yourself enough to stop beating the spirit out of your sister. Sister gets it and has finally accepted the "brothers" hate & has forgiven and is moving along, cuz I love me enough to walk away.
Growing up I was and still am the odd one out I've yet to know what it's like to truly be or at least feel accepted. I'm working at undoing the negative self image of myself and all the damage that i allowed others to help create in hopes to one day start to like myself but I don't believe I'll live long enough to learn to love myself.
Sometimes you do things when you're younger that you're not proud of. You can't go back and change it, no matter how much you'd like to. Just don't make the same mistakes..
I remember as a kid standing up to the bullies for my weaker classmates,I had my butt kicked a few times,some times I lost,some times I won,but I always been like that.
One of these days “I will love me” why is that so hard for so many including me? I was bullied when I was in school and in adult hood been put through hell was a single mom lost everything 3 times over and I didn’t give up! Those people who bullied me and put me through hell well you are the reason why I don’t put up with anything from anyone but you are also the reason why I can’t make and keep friends... when will I live myself enough to say enough or leave???
I’m not country, but fell in love with this song in the late 90’s. It used to be my karaoke “go to” as it was right in my wheelhouse range…😂. I met some great people through singing it… Interestingly, it was written by the proverbial hit machine Mark Hummon, who also wrote Bless The Broken Road and Dixie Chicks’ Cowboy, Take Me Away… He made piles of money and huge stars out of other people while remaining in the background most of his career. He has a great voice and performs, but I’ll bet most of you don’t know his name….😊
What a beautiful video. I am amazed to find more of Tim's videos that I haven't seen before. I'll think I have a new favorite and then I see another one that takes my breath away. This is one of those. Now IT is one of my favorites. Time to start a new Tim McGraw board on Pinterest!
He sang a song about him being forgiven for the things he did. What about the people he hurt? Did he ever make right by them? How is he, to forgive himself? Forgiveness is not his to give. It's the people whom he hurt that have the right to forgive him, not anyone else.
he is talking about the forgiveness we receive from the Most High and how we can rise above our lower human nature and love ourselves as the creator loves us all.
@@lyndamarie7379 But, does he have a right to without making any effort to do right by the ones he hurt? Was the song about him helping people like the ones he used to victimize? God promises to forgive our sins, not absolve us of them.
@@smity739 from what I've seen in my life, many, if not, all bullying/mean people have been victims themselves at some point. usually as children. they suffer from low self-esteem and their bullying or getting over on people is an attempt to feel superior. When the singer realizes that he has God given worth along with forgiveness, it is, as the lyrics say, a redemptive moment. While it may be too late to make actual amends to people in his past, the man he is, going forward, can find forgiveness and love for himself and thus treat others with love and worth. we can not truly love unless we love ourselves. As far as forgiveness vs absolution goes, that is between a man and his maker.
@@lyndamarie7379 Then the song should have been about the EFFECTS of his actions. It was all about HIM and HIS forgiveness. How good it felt that HE was forgiven by HIMSELF and feeling better because he things God absolved him. The song was about HIM. How HE ruined people's childhood and lives, but he never goes into what happened to him, because he doesn't care what happened to them, only what will happen to him when he dies. I want to know about the two people whose lives he ruined. This song isn't about becoming a better person, it's a guide how to be a monster and feel better about it when it's time to grow up. What gives them the right to spit their pain out instead of swallowing it? Well, I've got a question for you: If you could save Jesus from being crucified, would you?
@@lyndamarie7379 And I completely disagree with the last part of your statement. If he did shed his selflessness, why was his healing focused on him and not the people he hurt. Did he do anything to earn forgiveness? He's bragging about how he can be an evil person and laugh about it after having a cry about realizing how wrong he was. This song was about him, not his victims of the negative effects of his actions. And I've got another one for you: If I bullied your son until he ran away and was never seen again, and or seduced your daughter when we were in highschool and left her after taking her virginity, and you saw me up on the pew saying how good gods forgiveness is and how better it make you feel, and I never once tried to make right by them and was never punished. Do you thing that would discourage kids from doing the same to your grandkids, or would it encourage them because of the mentality of ; god forgives everything, so I can be as evil as I want when I can get away with it and feel good thinking I've been forgiven? Would you be ok with that? After other people's cruelty ends your blood line, crushes the faith of the people they hurt, damning their souls, so of you go to heaven, you won't see your family again. But you will see the people who, in life, ruined your family's lives, ended your genetic line, was the fulcrum that got members of your family damned to hell forever by crushing their faith, would you be ok with that?
You know, I like the first part because not only does it describe me but I do get bullied and it does suck. Every once and awhile you think about how running away and starting new would be helpful. It sucks really, but you learn to get through it and you gain better friends. I get picked on about what I wear and how I act, like being nice and questioning things when I don't understand them. Its tough but what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right? I hope so
I understand what that is like, and I am sorry that you have felt the pain of bullying. Please understand that those people act that way because they are insecure and afraid to be themselves, and envy your ability to do so. Weak people thrive on trying to make others weak. You win by never letting them change you or make you harden your soul, because the world needs more people like you. Be confident in the beauty of being a kind and inquisitive spirit, and continue to seek people who recognize and appreciate those things. The pain of cruelty can sometimes take a while to fade, but yes-it does make you stronger, and you will be okay in the end. I know I am just an internet stranger but I am sharing the advice I was given when I was your age and faced the same things, and I hope you take it to heart.
got bullied by these two kids and never found out why till I was an adult that they grew up in alcoholic families. stand tall buddy otherwise your the one who hurts long term. good luck
That first part gets to me too... having red hair as a kid wasn't easy. It's funny how things change when you get older. Suddenly men are saying they always loved red heads, and women say they wish they had that color. The girls that blew you off now are gonna think its adorable since they wont have the pressure of feeling like they have to hate it too.
Tom Williamson trust me running won’t help! I was bullied and still am and now I lash out because people gave me anxiety and I have no one that really truly loves me! It is one of the worst feelings in the world to know that you’re truly alone:( that sucks! Do t let people bully you stand up and say enough I would but my spirit is broken and alway will be until that one person takes time to love me. Hang in there and be strong
This song makes me think as I sit and think of how I struggled through a childhood of being put down and made me feel as I was a worthless individual. Even now at 31 I feel worthless no matter how hard I try to do good I feel worthless. I sit here tonight thinking I could take my last drink and breath as I just want to end it all and pull that trigger what's strapped to my hip. I try to find my place and realize I have none and figure it's the best way to let go of everything. Don't mean to yap but maybe it's the only way for me. None the less it's a amazing song and hopefully I don't but so far it's my only option
keith herrin life is worth living. I don't know you but don't harm yourself. I use to be in your shoes. I just learned how to be a loner hoping and praying that God's sends me a genuine friend.
There will always be that one that won't. It will forever be my girls dad's. Both of them. My Dad loves Meghan (my first) enough for the both of us biological parents. ❤ My Diddy. And her GrandDiddy Bobby Lee Hudson.
I lost my wife on November 29, 2014 then her brother past away and my dad all in a 60 time span. I was evicted and lived in my car for awhile in January and February. I had know to turn to. I forgot how to love myself. I still have those days. Someone said to me, the world keeps moving forward, but time has stopped for you. They are so right.
thank you, each has been a battle. some good some not. I am missing her a lot and the past few days haven't been the best. but I remind myself that she is watching over me and pushing to keep going

"one of these days i'm going to love me" hit me like a tone of brick!!!! took me nearly 38 years to do that, been happy every since!
It took me 49 years.
Just figuring this out at 38 myself my dear
I’ll probably never love me
@@liamuchiha5352 Never think that!!! We are all going through different phases in life but one day we will figure out what self love really means. In the mean time all we can do is try our best to be happy and healthy!
I’ll keep that in mind I guess
Thank you, Tim. This song, when I heard it, made me tear up and realize I didn't really love myself. Not even sure why. I've always kinda had some self esteem issues. Not so bad now. I come back to this song periodically to remind myself to try to love myself
Another one of my personal favorites from Tim. It takes me back to a better place and time, and the lyrics are just so relatable. "Everywhere," "Just To See You Smile," and "One Of These Days" has to be the best trio of singles he's released in a row.
This was actually wrote by a different dude it was wrote by the same guy who wrote god bless the broken road that the rascal Flatts sing his names Mike Hammon
Marcus hummon apologize for the autocorrect
This is one of those songs that a LOT of people need to hear now
This song is SO beautiful and gives me chill and makes me tear up because I went thru the same thing. In 5th grade I was called names and made fun of. We were poor and hungry. Only 3 dresses for school. It hurts... badly. I hope those kids realized the same way as adults. God bless anyone for going thru it too! 🤗
Yet another song that doesn't find itself on any of Tim's greatest hits albums, despite it hitting number 2 in 1997.
Bottom line is that "HURT PEOPLE " really do hurt people. Tim McGraw spreads that fact beautifully and honestly!!!
Such an amazing and poignant song. Especially when it touches on loving yourself as a person. When you hate what’s inside you, you treat others with contempt and cruelty. Learning to love yourself allows you to love others!
This song hits me straight in the gut.Growing up I remember how I never wanted to go to school,kids wouldn’t let me sit on the bus and I never fit in.I still don’t fit in really to this day.Not even with my family.I’m 35 years old and still have yet to find a guy that will come into my life and “love me” and after all the struggles I’m still trying to “love me” and I hope it happens sooner than later
It's okay to be the black sheep of your family. I've been that way for a long time now. They do their thing, and I do mine. We coexist better that way. It's them that's more often then not more miserable then you are.
Whitney Cole, I love you. I hope you've found someone special who you fit in with. And I wish you all the joy and fulfillment life has to offer.
One of Timmy's best. EVER.
Thank you Jesus for forgiveness
Happy Birthday Tim, your music has really helped me get through lot's of tough times! Love ya man!
This song made me cryyyyy 😭
This song brings me back to the late 1990s...and yes......it IS a great meaningful song.....
This song makes me reflect on so many memories, & I cry alittle more each time..
This song still makes me cry after the many times I've listened to it but it also heals something inside, and I just want to dedicate this to you, rich, because when I hear it I think of you....
This song also makes me feel like i should have been more thoughtful and kind towards others growing up, I feel terrible about things I've done, when i was a child. I hope I'll be forgiven for all my wrong doings. ❤ Paul Allen McArthur ❤
tim mcgraw is the man ...a Christian brother
I heard this song for the first time when I was in highschool. Im a 37 yr old man now, and one these days....Im gonna love me. One of these days.
Learn to love yourself and others that's the message of this song
First time hearing this song Omg I cried 😭 😢 absolutely beautiful
I forgave the man who SA’d me, I’ve prayed for him, I’ve hoped the best for him, told him I was sorry when his brother died & he’s still a horrible person to me. He reaches out to me every once in a while & idk why. He called me a narc today bc i turned him in & that was years ago. All I could think about was this song. I hope one day he gives his life to Jesus & turns from the way his is. I know he can be forgiven & once he realizes that, it’ll be the best day of his life.
Such lovely stain glass too! My uncle used to make stain glass lamps. He worked as plumber at Disney here in Florida.
It's a beautiful song and i love it
I understand this song way too well.
Still struggle with it daily.
One of my favorite songs by Tim McGraw!!
This song helped me through alot .even saved my life a few times . ... one of these days ......
Heard this song for the first time today and It automatically made me think about the love of my life who walked away from me 2 months ago after being together for 3 years, and without a doubt I know one of these days he's going to stop and think and realize what he walked away from.
+Robin Peryea He moved away for college and decided he wanted to live the college life without being tied down with a girlfriend.
+rodeogal23 I can tell you that I boke up with a girl in high school because she got in to an out of town college, I hurt her and she didn't understand. but I couldn't let her stay just for me not with a better opportunity waiting for her. we kept in touch and I probably could have had her back when college was done but she had become exactly what I thought, better in every way. she grew wings and of course I still think "what if". but I think by letting her go I did good cause she's happy and married with kids. we're friends on IG so I see that she's happy. sometimes if you love someone you have to let them go.
Robbie Vigil Thank You so much for that, its nice hearing things from another point of view. I honestly hope he finds what he no longer could find in me and I also hope that he notices how much ive grown since he left me. When he walked away from me, I was in the lowest ive ever been in my life and I can say that today I am even stronger then I was. He made me become stronger, I had no choice. He will one day either regret letting me go, or he will be so happy that he did. I will always have that " what if " in the back of my head but I know that theres a reason why he left me, its now just my job to find out that reason.
My kids mom left me a month after we was together for 6 years
He wasn’t worth it then was it? Don’t let it hold you back fall in love as much as you can while you can.
This is when music was great! Such memories😉 a friend passed about 2 years ago well 2 friends and I miss them and haven’t seen them in years but we always talked on Facebook and I miss them so much! One didn’t love me even though we shared a child and it’s all I wanted but I wasn’t good enough but really he wasn’t good enough for me, one of these days I’m gonna LOVE me, one of these days I’m gonna rise above me💜💜
Being bullied when I was a little kid was a terrible thing, but there's nothing like seeing the pain in your own younger sibling/your child's/your neice/nephew's eyes. It sets something off inside of you, an indescribable feeling.
I thank the Good Lord for His forgiveness.
But I know I will be broken hearted until the day I die.
While I endured so much at the hands of others, I hurt others too.
It's that latter that kills my heart so much.
I guess it's maybe compensation to them that I will never be comfortable on this Earth, I will never know a day without horrendous pain that brings me to the point that I spend every day begging to be Home with Jesus.
Maybe those who hurt me, in turn, were right.
Maybe I'm defective.
Maybe for me, I'm forgiven, but I was born not deserving any happiness on this Earth.
This song came out when I was in high schook. It was powerful then; now I play it and sing it to my 4 year old son everynight as part of his bedtime. Works everytime and still hits daddy in the feels. Love you Bubba
one of these days I'm gonna love me...then I'm gonna smile a little... maybe even cry a little... but one of these days I'm gonna love me!
Amen
marla lowry me too
marla lowry that was not necessary to post
😔one of these days...
This song always made me cry as a kid, and it still does, 20-something years later.
this song turns 25 this year.
Just love this song. I have this CD. It's been a long time since I've heard this song. What an awesome song and yes it's the perfect fit for his voice I say.
This song really makes me want to cry it’s gets me emotional 🥹 I hate it when others talk bad about me I need God in my life I need good people in my life
Sure would like more songs like this today. Would have liked more of them when I was a kid. This song came out after I graduated high school but it certainly applied to my time in school. I was picked on, beat up, property destroyed, harassed and even assaulted by practically everyone, even some of the teachers, faculty and police. Neither of my parents believed me, even if I came home with black and blue marks on my face or back. My mother's first response was "Well what did you do to instigate it?" and for a long time I never knew what was wrong. I finally figured it out toward the end of my Junior year, that no one else was going to love me, I had to start by loving myself. It was hard at first, because I believed I wasn't worthy. But once I realized I could accomplish something by applying myself to it, I could handle the abuse. Pretty soon it was no fun to pick on me and they all left me alone. Of course I still remember their faces and I've forgiven them for being the mean kids in my life. It doesn't make what they did right. But I don't hold it against them anymore. In fact I kind of laugh a little about it, thinking that they spent all that energy and time on me, a kid who could handle it instead of picking on someone else who might not have been strong enough. I'm okay with that! Someday they'll feel bad for what they did and it's too late when it's someone who feels like they have no one else to turn to and no one who cares. I had me, and that's what counted all along.
I truly love myself thru the grace of God. Now I will never allow anyone to hurt me again.
Hello Noel
How're you doing today?
Thanks for all your love and support,
Also for being an amazing fan.
It's a pleasure meeting you here 🌹
❤️ and 🙏 for those who need to find love and forgiveness for his- or herself. God loves you, and always has. "Come home, my precious one."
My wife was a both side and so was I and now we look back at that time and wonder if the bullies ever changed thier ways we changed our ways and we felt bad for being a bully and we will make sure to teach our kids not to be a bully and to help people that want help
It's taken me almost 30 years to realize what this song is about.
Ooff someone posted the lyrics on social media, hadn't heard the song in long while. The impact is the same such a beautiful song. And a great reminder.
Thanks for years of wonderful music
I’ve always loved you Tim, time will never change that!
Tim that s a beautiful song thanks for recording it !
OMG this is awesome
Made me cry
Masterpiece of song.
I dedicate this song to my "brothers" the hearsay brothers. I hope one of these days you're gonna love yourself enough to stop beating the spirit out of your sister. Sister gets it and has finally accepted the "brothers" hate & has forgiven and is moving along, cuz I love me enough to walk away.
I can finally give some empathy because of this beautiful song
I love this song it's autobiographical for me. Whoever wrote this song knows me.'
Marcus Hummon
Marcus Hummon's best mate
Songwriters Kip Raines/Marcus Hammon/ Richard Belmont (monty) Powell. They wrote it together as team, for some it was the first collaborate venture.
One day I may love myself but that fact seems to me to be taking an eternity
This is one of these songs that I can't listen to all the way through.. I cry thinking about the boy in the beginning.. heart hurts for him lol..
My friend Mike Reeves introduced me to this
RIP 🥺❤️
I have loved this song from the first time I herd it
Tim had some fantastic song writers back then. I'm not too fond of his newer music. But, its no big deal. I'm a minority. That's a good thing.
Growing up I was and still am the odd one out I've yet to know what it's like to truly be or at least feel accepted. I'm working at undoing the negative self image of myself and all the damage that i allowed others to help create in hopes to one day start to like myself but I don't believe I'll live long enough to learn to love myself.
Tim cool song and video I loved it !
Well, now he has Faith...and faith!
Beautiful!
Sometimes you do things when you're younger that you're not proud of. You can't go back and change it, no matter how much you'd like to. Just don't make the same mistakes..
I was bullied in school too so this song hits home.
Boy o boy am i feeling this song right now. This song always punches the good ol em0
One of these days I'll rise above me and at last I'll find some peace!
I remember as a kid standing up to the bullies for my weaker classmates,I had my butt kicked a few times,some times I lost,some times I won,but I always been like that.
I know God loves me, love this song.... 🙏💕
I love Tim McGraw and Garth Brooks and Kenny Chesney they are my favorites
A perfect example of country music mass appeal. Songs of life.
One of these days “I will love me” why is that so hard for so many including me? I was bullied when I was in school and in adult hood been put through hell was a single mom lost everything 3 times over and I didn’t give up! Those people who bullied me and put me through hell well you are the reason why I don’t put up with anything from anyone but you are also the reason why I can’t make and keep friends... when will I live myself enough to say enough or leave???
I’m not country, but fell in love with this song in the late 90’s. It used to be my karaoke “go to” as it was right in my wheelhouse range…😂. I met some great people through singing it… Interestingly, it was written by the proverbial hit machine Mark Hummon, who also wrote Bless The Broken Road and Dixie Chicks’ Cowboy, Take Me Away… He made piles of money and huge stars out of other people while remaining in the background most of his career. He has a great voice and performs, but I’ll bet most of you don’t know his name….😊
Such a beautiful song 💛❤
Used to remember in the 90's Tim singing on the store radio at Mervyns especially on the greeting card isle... fond memories
What a beautiful video. I am amazed to find more of Tim's videos that I haven't seen before. I'll think I have a new favorite and then I see another one that takes my breath away. This is one of those. Now IT is one of my favorites. Time to start a new Tim McGraw board on Pinterest!
I love this song . Just so very real.
Forgiveness. Which includes forgiving yourself. Doesn't make bad behavior in the past OK... just learn from your mistakes.
He sang a song about him being forgiven for the things he did. What about the people he hurt? Did he ever make right by them? How is he, to forgive himself? Forgiveness is not his to give. It's the people whom he hurt that have the right to forgive him, not anyone else.
he is talking about the forgiveness we receive from the Most High and how we can rise above our lower human nature and love ourselves as the creator loves us all.
@@lyndamarie7379 But, does he have a right to without making any effort to do right by the ones he hurt? Was the song about him helping people like the ones he used to victimize? God promises to forgive our sins, not absolve us of them.
@@smity739 from what I've seen in my life, many, if not, all bullying/mean people have been victims themselves at some point. usually as children. they suffer from low self-esteem and their bullying or getting over on people is an attempt to feel superior. When the singer realizes that he has God given worth along with forgiveness, it is, as the lyrics say, a redemptive moment. While it may be too late to make actual amends to people in his past, the man he is, going forward, can find forgiveness and love for himself and thus treat others with love and worth.
we can not truly love unless we love ourselves.
As far as forgiveness vs absolution goes,
that is between a man and his maker.
@@lyndamarie7379 Then the song should have been about the EFFECTS of his actions. It was all about HIM and HIS forgiveness. How good it felt that HE was forgiven by HIMSELF and feeling better because he things God absolved him. The song was about HIM. How HE ruined people's childhood and lives, but he never goes into what happened to him, because he doesn't care what happened to them, only what will happen to him when he dies. I want to know about the two people whose lives he ruined. This song isn't about becoming a better person, it's a guide how to be a monster and feel better about it when it's time to grow up. What gives them the right to spit their pain out instead of swallowing it? Well, I've got a question for you: If you could save Jesus from being crucified, would you?
@@lyndamarie7379 And I completely disagree with the last part of your statement. If he did shed his selflessness, why was his healing focused on him and not the people he hurt. Did he do anything to earn forgiveness? He's bragging about how he can be an evil person and laugh about it after having a cry about realizing how wrong he was. This song was about him, not his victims of the negative effects of his actions. And I've got another one for you: If I bullied your son until he ran away and was never seen again, and or seduced your daughter when we were in highschool and left her after taking her virginity, and you saw me up on the pew saying how good gods forgiveness is and how better it make you feel, and I never once tried to make right by them and was never punished. Do you thing that would discourage kids from doing the same to your grandkids, or would it encourage them because of the mentality of ; god forgives everything, so I can be as evil as I want when I can get away with it and feel good thinking I've been forgiven? Would you be ok with that? After other people's cruelty ends your blood line, crushes the faith of the people they hurt, damning their souls, so of you go to heaven, you won't see your family again. But you will see the people who, in life, ruined your family's lives, ended your genetic line, was the fulcrum that got members of your family damned to hell forever by crushing their faith, would you be ok with that?
2019 anyone??
It is a good song it is telling my life
You know, I like the first part because not only does it describe me but I do get bullied and it does suck. Every once and awhile you think about how running away and starting new would be helpful. It sucks really, but you learn to get through it and you gain better friends. I get picked on about what I wear and how I act, like being nice and questioning things when I don't understand them. Its tough but what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right? I hope so
I understand what that is like, and I am sorry that you have felt the pain of bullying. Please understand that those people act that way because they are insecure and afraid to be themselves, and envy your ability to do so. Weak people thrive on trying to make others weak. You win by never letting them change you or make you harden your soul, because the world needs more people like you. Be confident in the beauty of being a kind and inquisitive spirit, and continue to seek people who recognize and appreciate those things. The pain of cruelty can sometimes take a while to fade, but yes-it does make you stronger, and you will be okay in the end. I know I am just an internet stranger but I am sharing the advice I was given when I was your age and faced the same things, and I hope you take it to heart.
got bullied by these two kids and never found out why till I was an adult that they grew up in alcoholic families. stand tall buddy otherwise your the one who hurts long term. good luck
That first part gets to me too... having red hair as a kid wasn't easy. It's funny how things change when you get older. Suddenly men are saying they always loved red heads, and women say they wish they had that color. The girls that blew you off now are gonna think its adorable since they wont have the pressure of feeling like they have to hate it too.
Tom Williamson trust me running won’t help! I was bullied and still am and now I lash out because people gave me anxiety and I have no one that really truly loves me! It is one of the worst feelings in the world to know that you’re truly alone:( that sucks! Do t let people bully you stand up and say enough I would but my spirit is broken and alway will be until that one person takes time to love me. Hang in there and be strong
And it makes you stronget
Tim you are so great the songs is so deep
This song makes me think as I sit and think of how I struggled through a childhood of being put down and made me feel as I was a worthless individual. Even now at 31 I feel worthless no matter how hard I try to do good I feel worthless. I sit here tonight thinking I could take my last drink and breath as I just want to end it all and pull that trigger what's strapped to my hip. I try to find my place and realize I have none and figure it's the best way to let go of everything. Don't mean to yap but maybe it's the only way for me. None the less it's a amazing song and hopefully I don't but so far it's my only option
keith herrin life is worth living. I don't know you but don't harm yourself. I use to be in your shoes. I just learned how to be a loner hoping and praying that God's sends me a genuine friend.
I know how you feel
There will always be that one that won't. It will forever be my girls dad's. Both of them. My Dad loves Meghan (my first) enough for the both of us biological parents. ❤ My Diddy. And her GrandDiddy Bobby Lee Hudson.
I listened to this song after my brother left... I'm not even kidding, it started to rain right on the chorus. :''(
SO LOVELY
Happy Birthday Angelito Mío-
Sebastian.
Te Amo Con Toda Mi Alma❤
Awesome tune
I love that song ❤
I lost my wife on November 29, 2014 then her brother past away and my dad all in a 60 time span. I was evicted and lived in my car for awhile in January and February. I had know to turn to.
I forgot how to love myself. I still have those days.
Someone said to me, the world keeps moving forward, but time has stopped for you.
They are so right.
John Trojan hope you're doing better now, friend. that's terrible.
thank you, each has been a battle. some good some not.
I am missing her a lot and the past few days haven't been the best. but I remind myself that she is watching over me and pushing to keep going
John, keep moving forward. And my your wife rest in peace for eternity
Hope you're doing ok. This song rips at my heart.
John Trojan I’m so sorry that you had to go through that
