Sometimes it just absolutely baffles me, the way music can affect a person. I mean, it doesn't really. I know why. I just don't fully understand how it works. But I'm so grateful for the gift of music. I can't imagine life without it.
Profund thoughts, I know...
And really original, too.
It's just how I'm feeling now, okay?
Honestly, the songs that bring back great memories of high school... I wouldn't trade them for anything. I'm listening to "Can't Smile Without You." Hah, so bittersweet. For as much as I hated every second of Varsity Choir, I couldn't help but just want to bust up in tears when we sang it in our spring concert last year. All I could think of through that whole awful medley was how many memories we made practicing, and how as corny as the words were, they completely summed up how I was feeling. It's a happy-sounding song. With corny-yet-sad lyrics. It made me face my fears. Fears of moving on and growing up and leaving some of my best friends. People I never could have guessed would mean so much to me or touch me in the ways they did. I thought through that whole song about how it was going to be a little tougher to smile without my Kaitlin and Jenna and Sally and Lauren and Kelsey and Stef and Jackie and Ian and so many others making trouble behind Minger's back. And often to her face, as well. And that's just the surface of my nostalgia tonight.
Man, how I miss you guys. It's true. As much as I love college, I just can't smile enough when I'm with my girls, and I certainly can't smile without them. Not in the same way, at least. Ahhh... love you, my dears. Thanks for always being more wonderful than I could ever have imagined. Let's hang out again this week.
Sidenote: I miss Sam Stach like none other. Anyone know what ever happened to her or how to get a hold of her?
