hump day

everybody who knows me, knows that i come from a family who is very much in tune with music. (mostly my dads side) we never just listen to a song at face value. we can carry on a conversation about the rhythm, beat, vocals but something i feel connected to are the lyrics. lyrics captivate, inspire, motivate, and make me feel fabulous all at the same time. when singing a song, i am always listening to what they are saying and then i interpret it for me to apply it to my life. i don't know why i cant just listen to a song for what it is, but i consider it a lovely talent of mine.
i listen to all sorts of music. my favorites although, is indie, alternative rock, and "underground rap"f you will. i honestly can listen to everything but those are my particular genres. anyways, i love music. when i hear certain songs i instantly am taken back to the first time i heard it, what i was doing, and more importantly how i felt. for example, every time i hear the song Can't Stop by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, i remember going to their concert with my dad and watching them jam out on stage and just being like, THIS IS AWESOME!!!! every time i hear that song i just get immediately happy and just love it. so when i am doing things like hiking, running, cleaning my room, snowboarding etc, i listen to certain types of songs that put me at ease with whatever may be going on in my life.
so while i was driving up snowboarding last week, i was enjoying the mountain and all its beauty (dont even get me started on how i feel when i get in the mountains, you all will be bored to tears by my awe) and i was getting pumped for snowboarding and a certain song came onto my shuffle that day and this line in the song really hit me.. i hope you all can get whatever you need out of it and enjoy the rest of your week :)

"Look, I've never had a dream in my life

Because a dream is what you wanna do, but still haven't pursued

I knew what I wanted and did it till it was done

So i've been the dream that I wanted to be since day one!"

nine

the nine hardest things that are inevitable things that we all have, do, and will continue to go through in this thing called life....


1-being questions when you yourself don't quite understand.
2-pretending to be innocent of what you know you are guilty...
3-trying to forget something you know you never will.
4-admitting you're wrong when you've been so insistent that you were right.
5-debating with yourself.
6-accepting the fact that somethings aren't meant to be...
7-trying to understand when you just can't.
8-realizing that you've been fooled after you have given you're whole truth.
9-parting and letting go of someone who made you believe in love again.
