"Walking in Memphis"
So, there's this song by Marc Cohn called "Walking in Memphis".
So, why I feel this way? It's like I'm drowning...and it's like I fell in love. And if I'm not near the love of my life, I just feel like I can't breathe. I feel like I just want to go and finally get there. And it's not just wanting to get out of this house, which is kinda why I want to go anywhere...but specifically Memphis. On the last day in Memphis, we were going back to the hotel, and we stopped at a park near the Mississippi...And I realized how beautiful it was. And I knew that eventually I would be coming back. I knew that I had to get back. I knew that everything that I was feeling was just like falling in love. I knew.
I'm not going to lie. When we first got there I was upset because I wanted to go to Nashville. I wanted to be near where the rock and roll stars were. Then I let Memphis take hold. I surrendered to the fact that we wouldn't be able to go to Nashville this year and I surrendered to God and let it just work it's magic. And believe me the magic worked. It worked beautifully. I just couldn't believe how overtaken I was with going back and staying.
And believe me I will be going back. I'll probably actually go to Memphis rather than Murfreesboro. I'm not entirely sure yet. Part of me still wants to go to MTSU, but the other part, the part that fell in love, which is most of me, is dieing to go to University of Memphis. It would cost about the same price to go to either school, so it's really up to the schools to sell me their programs. I just don't know yet.
Not too much else going on. I'm working 4 nights a week...but I'm always game Mon-Wed to hang out.
