Some days just suck, right?
This moring I woke up to some very personal and potentially heartbreaking news. I couldn't shake this sick feeling in my stomach and it was a day that I decided I was going to stay home, in bed, and ignore everything. In the back of my mind, I realized that I should probably turn to my religion for help, because the feeling in my stomach wasn't going away. After I did, a song came into my head, which is the song of today. All at once, I decided that today wasn't the day to let anything bring me down, and no matter what happened, I was going to be optimistic. I know people say to believe in the power of positive thinking, but I now have a first hand experence to the fact that it really works! Yes, the thought of what happened is still in my head, but I push it out and move on.
Point is... Life goes on . No matter what happens, you can't stop and wallow forever. I understand that everyone needs a mourning period, and I had mine, But I can't let something so small keep me down. My life was made to be lived. I know things aren't perfect and things don't always go as planned, and we just need to learn to take it as it comes, and plan for the best. Everyone has the potential to be incredible, to rise above their shortcomings and to become the best they can be. That's why today's song is Defying Gravity. In this song, Elphaba sings about how she's not going to let anything bring her down. Some of these lyrics represented my mood today perfectly:
"So if you care to find me
Look to the western sky
As someone told me lately
Everyone deserves the chance to fly!
And if I'm flying solo
At least I'm flying free
To those who ground me
Take a message back from me
Tell Them How I'm Defying Gravity...!"
(Elphaba performing "Defying Gravity" in the Musical Wicked)
Keep on Listening
Love, Lydia
