Lyric of the day
You know, I'm a woman who is really ok with being single. I don't date for the sake of having someone (been there, done that). But sometimes a girl gets lonely. It's funny, because it isn't a situation that I usually pay attention to, and it always catches me by surprise. It's always someone out of my past, a situation that has become rosier in my mind then it ever was in reality. I got a blast from the past today, and for a moment, I was a million miles away from the man I always thought I wanted, but *really* isn't good for me. I know in my mind that we are not a match. I thought my heart had caught on. Apparently not.So I would like to take a moment to pay homage to Patty Griffin, who has a song called 'Moses'.
It was exactly how I felt this afternoon. Here is a chunk of it.
'Everywhere is somewhere And nowhere is near
Everybody got somebody with their wine and their beer
So I'm just this tragic figure in the corner over here
…
Everytime I see him he smiles
And he tells me how well he's walking these miles
But he never ever asks a single thing about me
If I die, he'd hear about it eventually’
I don't mean for this to be all 'poor me' because that's not what I'm getting at. I just think it's funny how your emotions can take you by surprise sometimes. I consider myself fairly self-aware. It's good for me to know there is still a lot of room left for growth.
