Tequila Talkin’ (Again)

20 August 2021 – It may be hard to believe, but there is yet another country song called “Tequila Talkin’.” This version is new and popular on current country radio. This version extends the message from my other blog (Tequila Talkin’). It emphasizes communication with those you love and how important it is to say what you mean clearly. Tequila has been known to loosen my lips and make me spill all of the feelings I have sincerely and earnestly. It’s probably a good idea to do it without tequila because it is taken more seriously. So, I must express my emotions but not with tequila talkin’ (again).

That ain't the tequila talkin' babe
The way you're smiling's got me thinking maybe
We should let the salt and the lime have its way
We'll make up our minds tomorrow, but either way
Yeah, baby, I'm all in
And that ain't the tequila talkin'

~ "Tequila Talkin'" by Kameron Marlowe

A few weeks ago, I came back from Colorado full of emotions. The dark ones have left, and I am just full of the wonderful, hopeful ones. The ones that are full of love and dreams. I need to share them with the right people at the right times. I still feel like I did then (read the blog titled “I Need Jesus or I Need Whiskey”). I am like a tightly filled balloon just wanting to burst. It’s like someone has filled me with love and sunshine, and it’s ready to escape.

Have you ever had a secret that you just wanted to tell? Have you ever been so excited that you want to scream from a mountain top? Have you ever had your emotions and your excitement painted all over your face? This is how I feel. I am sure everyone who looks at me can see my emotions written on my face in bright letters with a neon sign above my head. But, it’s not true, I hold all of the emotions too close, and behind too many walls, no one can see them or know what I am feeling. As usual, it is too difficult for me to express my emotions without the help of tequila talkin’ (again).

My next eleven days are focused on learning to express my emotions in healthy and honest ways. I want to be as blunt and assertive with my good emotions as I am with my negative emotions. I want to learn to share my thoughts and feelings with those I love because those are the important emotions. Those are the emotions that make days brighter, futures hopeful and dreams possible. I can do it – but I may need a bit of tequila talkin’ (again).
