life on shuffle |
One of my favorite things to do is to put my iPod on "shuffle" and just see what comes up. Some songs are weird; some are embarrassing; some are AWESOME... and some just are what they are. So I'm going to blog about it. The rules: Every time I sit down to write, I'm going to pull out my iPod, push "shuffle" and write about whatever song plays first (*only exception: a previously blogged about song). Maybe it will be a memory associated with that song or something about the lyrics or artist. Or maybe it will just color the topic that I choose to write about. Sometimes serious, sometimes funny, sometimes worthy of mocking. Random. Life. On shuffle. |

notes “Hey Now” - Augustana
{photo via we heart it}“Hey now, we’re bleeding for nothing // It’s hard to breathe when you’re standing on your own // We’ll kill ourselves to find freedom // You’ll kill yourself to find anything at all.”
It seems to happen to everyone at some point — that push to “find yourself”, to become independent, to be your own person. Sometimes it involves a leap of faith or a change in scenery. Sometimes it starts with a grand adventure; other times it demands a deep commitment and a “settling down”. Sometimes it’s motivated by success, but sometimes it’s prompted by failure.
We all want to prove we can make it on our own. But maybe “freedom” can get lonely.
We were created to be in relationship, created to need others. I’m not saying that any human friendship or romance will lead to total fulfillment, (it won’t), but maybe you come to know yourself better when you let others in.
