Turn me around

So it's almost 4:30, dinner is being prepared to cook in the kitchen, and there's music playing in the living room (for my dad as he cooks), my little brother's bedroom, and the computer room that I am in. Its funny how much the music can relax us and fill our bodies at ease.

I definitely needed this ease, as I'm listening to Vedera's "Taking Chances."

I was sitting on my bed looking through my folder of everything I've written. Some of them are still hard to read, because I can still remember the feelings I put into them. Some, made me smile, but they all had a story to tell. I love stories. I love telling them. Fiction or not. I'm not into reading, or writing, about what hair products to use, or how to lose weight. But then again, I've never been impressed with my own writing.

All I want to do in life is put everything I have onto a sheet of paper, for the whole world to take into their own perspective and (hopefully) can get something out of my insight. I have had some people tell me Becoming a Journalist is the last thing I can do. Of course, I want to prove them wrong, but I'm sensitive and when it comes to something that means a lot to me I believe in those harsh words.

So, sitting on my bed, reading along lines I wrote a year ago, a month ago, a week..... I only beat myself up about now. And I'm here, venting through my writing about how crappy of a writer I am! Sigh.....

But then there's the music. The music that brings your body at ease, remember? God knew exactly what He was doing when He brought this into Life. So thank you. Now enjoy.



"Taking Chances"
We're taking chances, moving on your own
We're looking to our hearts to tell us yes or no
Throwing out the mirrors, gonna look within
Were you calling out, "can we begin again?"
A simple phrase, a simple sound
To find some way, know somehow
To know that i can find a way to be with you
And we keep growing, as long as i keep growing
I'll be fine
So let me find my footing now
Along the bridge that i have found
If i keep falling down somehow
You know that you can turn me around
