Saying that, this one is is going to, at least to start of with, be a little more light hearted.
So Ive noticed, quite often, that when I stick my music on my iPod and turn it on 'shuffle', it more often than not plays songs relevant to what I'm feeling at the time. Whether it be happy, or sad. Or somewhere in between. I'm going to list 10 songs here that played this morning when I was doing some chores, there was major eye-rolling going on coz they are all so relevant (in different ways) to how Ive been feeling lately. List is;
- Adele - Set Fire to the Rain
- Will Young - Love
- Jamelia (Live Lounge) - Numb
- Staind - Tangled Up in You
- Pink - Stop Falling
- Tinie Tempah (Live Lounge) - Frisky
- Avril Lavigne - I Love You
- Ministry of Sound - Lost Without You
- The Bangles - In a Different Light
- Avril Lavigne - When You're Gone
I'm assuming you can all guess whats been going thru my mind a lot lately by that list of tracks?
Yup, love. Or rather, thinking about wanting to be in love. Ive felt so lonely lately. And I hate it, coz I'm fine on my own, I don't need anyone else. I'm good alone, ya know? But I'm surrounded by couples. In real life, on TV, on twitter/FB. Id just like to have what they have for a while, or forever, I'm not going to rule that out, coz that would be silly.
I bought the Twilight DVDs recently, and I found myself sitting there crying. Which in itself is nothing unusual, but I realised I was crying because of the relationship that I was watching (and shut up, I fricking love Twilight!), crying because Ive never had a relationship like that. That's so open and so free. I'm always hiding something, even in friendships, I can never be 100% open and honest.
I'm not saying I'm a liar, but I don't give my all. Coz if I did, and Ive probably said this before, then that gives someone else power and control, and I'm not sure I can give that up. I almost did once, and that power and control was very much abused. I'm not going to get into that now tho, as I'm pretty much out the other side of that.
But yeah, it seems my iPod shuffle is pretty tuned in to my thoughts and emotions. How bizarre.
*hugs* it takes a lot of courage to write the things you write. It also takes a lot of courage to open yourself up to someone in the way you describe. I'm sorry you were hurt before, and I hope you find the strength and courage to open yourself up to someone who can treat you as you deserve, because you DO deserve that type of relationship again.
ReplyDeleteThere's a Garth Brooks song, The Dance, which talks about being so completely in love with someone, and then being rejected. It finishes with these lines -
"And now, I'm glad I didn't know the way it all would end, the way it all would go.
My life is better left to chance, I could have missed the pain, but I'd have had to miss the Dance"
I hope the day comes soon that you are able to gave that Dance of a relationship, and you find the happiness you deserve.

Ive never thought of what I write as being courageous. I just say what I'm thinking. But I really appreciate that you think that, so thankyou.
ReplyDeleteAnd I hope that I can have that dance again one day too xx
