Better Man by Little Big Town

Written By Elizabeth Tubridy

Better Man isn’t about regret for leaving—it’s about grief for what should have been.

It’s the song that understands how you can love someone deeply and still know that love wasn’t safe, steady, or kind enough to stay. It speaks to the quiet ache of realizing that you didn’t ask for too much—you just asked the wrong person.

This song holds the truth that leaving wasn’t a failure.
It was a boundary.
It was survival.
It was choosing peace over potential.

I didn’t leave because I stopped loving.
I left because love shouldn’t feel like walking on broken glass and calling it devotion.

Better Man honors the version of me who stayed as long as she could—and the woman who finally chose herself.

Have you ever mourned the person someone could have been—while knowing you made the right choice by walking away?

I’m Elizabeth — a mother, creator, and woman who has learned what it means to rebuild from the ground up.

This space was born from a season of deep change. After walking away from a life that no longer felt safe, aligned, or true, I began the quiet work of healing — not perfectly, not quickly, but honestly. What started as survival slowly became self-discovery, and then something more: a return to myself.

Through writing, reflection, and creativity, I share the truths I once silenced. Stories about emotional healing, motherhood, boundaries, resilience, and learning to choose yourself after years of putting everyone else first. This blog isn’t about bitterness or blame — it’s about clarity, growth, and reclaiming your voice.

Alongside my writing, I create under Earthly Enchantments — nature-inspired pieces rooted in calm, intention, and magic found in small moments. Creativity has always been my anchor, a way to process, express, and reconnect with joy.

If you’re here, maybe you’re navigating your own season of becoming. Maybe you’re learning to trust yourself again, or simply looking for proof that it’s possible to start over — gently, bravely, and on your own terms.

You’re welcome here.
