I would truly be lost without music in my life. Any song that can bring you to tears one moment and light up your face with a smile as bright as the sun the next is one I can appreciate. Lyrics can be very powerful and I think the following from a song by Needtobreathe, Something Beautiful are prime examples of the emotional response a great song can create. Enjoy and feel free to listen while you read as this song has a special place in my blog:)
In your ocean, I'm ankle deep
I feel the waves crashin' on my feet
It's like I know where I need to be
But I can't figure out, yeah I can't figure out
Just how much air I will need to breathe
When your tide rushes over me
There's only one way to figure out
Will ya let me drown, will ya let me drown
(Chorus)
Hey now, this is my desire
Consume me like a fire, 'cause I just want something beautiful
To touch me, I know that I'm in reach
'Cause I am down on my knees, I'm waiting for something beautiful
Oh, something beautiful
And the water is risin' quick
And for years I was scared of it
We can't be sure when it will subside
So I won't leave your side, no I can't leave your side
(chorus)In a daydream, I couldn't live like this
I wouldn't stop until I found something beautiful
When I wake up, I know I will have
No, I still won't have what I need
(chorus)
The itch is back. I'm ready for more traveling and now it is simply about getting my ducks in a row and finishing grad school. There is so much more I want to see and experience in this world and I'm pretty sure this is my time. I still want all the things I have wanted ever since I was younger; an amazing man who has the same zest for life and learning as I do and someday, a family. However, these things seem to be on the back burner for the present time. I actually feel like I'm living my life for me, an awesome feeling after wanting to please everyone for as long as I can remember. It may seem selfish to some, but I know those closest to me can understand where I'm coming from.
Anyways, on a less thoughtful note...school is out for summer! I still have summer classes, but the break is welcomed with open arms. I am making plans for future endeavors...be on the lookout:)
