Spring Fever

I don't know what it is, but I just feel like everything is going right. I've found so many things lately that I love. Being daring when I cook, starting a garden, finding things on the other side of the camera. Just really doing things that make me happy. Because even though I do hope to make someone else happy one day, I'm not going to sit around and be boring until then. It's like all of a sudden I am ready for anything. I just want to keep going, take big steps through life after wandering around all this time. I find that all that wandering gave me skills from here and there, and knowledge from everything I have done to prepare me to get my ass in gear (See, not all who wander are lost!). This is my life and no one is going to live it as good as I can. Don't get me wrong, I plan on being Young, Wild & Free forever, but I really do feel like a part of me is growing up - growing anyways. I can't wait to see where this direction is taking me, I feel like I had endured the lull I did so I would be ready. Not sure what I am ready for, but I have a gut feeling this is it. Maybe I am not so hopeless anymore, just a hopeful :)

Leap of Faith

I really do feel this way right now! I feel like so much is happening and going on. I feel like everything in life is about to get better. I always remember being young, and thinking I was really going to be someone, somewhere big, doing big things. Then not too long ago I woke up and found my everyday boring, repetitive. So I started looking for hints of that inspiration that used to feel like it pumped though my veins. There are so many things I want to take on, and for once things that make ME happy. I hope I can do it all and not burn out half way through. But I guess that is what taking a leap of faith is all about. I suppose the worst thing that could happen is it does not work out. And that is much better than never doing anything at all.

Funny how a melody sounds like a memory, like a soundtrack to a July night (l)

Ever hear a song and know you could have written it yourself?





Springsteen - Eric Church


To this day when I hear that song
I see you standin' there on that lawn
Discount shades, store bought tan
Flip flops and cut-off jeans

Somewhere between that setting sun
I'm on fire and born to run
You looked at me and I was done
And we're, we're just getting started

I was singin' to you, you were singin' to me
I was so alive, never been more free
Fired up my daddy's lighter and we sang
Ooohh

Stayed there 'til they forced us out
And took the long way to your house
I can still hear the sound of you sayin' don't go

When I think about you, I think about 17
I think about my old jeep
I think about the stars in the sky
Funny how a melody sounds like a memory
Like the soundtrack to a July Saturday night
Springsteen

I bumped into you by happenstance
You probably wouldn't even know who I am
But if I whispered your name 
I bet there'd still be a spark

Back when I was gasoline 
And this old tattoo had brand new ink
And we didn't care what your mom would think
About your name on my arm

Baby is it spring or is it summer
The guitar sound or the beat of that drummer
You hear sometimes late at night 
On your radio

Even though you're a million miles away
When you hear Born in the USA
You relive those glory days
So long ago

When you think about me, do you think about 17
Do you think about my old jeep
Think about the stars in the sky
Funny how a melody sounds like a memory
Like a soundtrack to a July Saturday night
Springsteen

Woah-oh-oh-oh
