My emotional self is gettin to me. It's makin me reevalute everything in my life. I want to become my heartfelt 14 year old self once again, but with a wiser and more confident spin. I want to be better at the things I love to do and the things I have to do and finally do what I want to do. I think everyone sabotages their plans in strange little ways, but most importantly, so we appreciate good when it happens -- or maybe just to make life a little more bumpy, so you know, we have sucky stories to tell each other...or laugh about...then cry...then laugh...then cry a little more...
The sweet music of Nina Simone has been helping me through these "coming of age" moments. Although, I feel a little old (21) to be "coming of age"....or maybe I'm being dramatic? and I know I'm not old. I just feel it.
Butterflies all havin fun you know what I mean
Sleep in peace when day is done
Thats what I mean
And this old world is a new world
And a bold world
For me
Stars when you shine you know how I feel
Scent of the pine you know how I feel
Oh freedom is mine
And I know how I feel
-Miss Nina Simone
