"Drive"
"Sometimes, I feel the fear of uncertainty stinging clear
And I can't help but ask myself how much
I'll let the fear take the wheel and steer.
It's driven me before, and it seems to have a vague,
haunting mass appeal.
But lately I'm beginning to find that I
should be the one behind the wheel.
Whatever tomorrow brings,
I'll be there with open arms and open eyes, Yeah
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there..I'll be there."
I was searching my iTunes over and over again for the right song to entitle this entry..since it seems to have alot of deep inner thought behind it. After I passed the "I" section about six times, I finally stopped at this song...popular circa 2001...about four years ago to the day. I listened to it...and certainly it all seemed to come back to me, as it was quite a popular song the summer between my freshman and sophomore years of high school. After googling the lyrics...I was certain that there was no other song that could accurately portray my emotions right now...currently.
I realize that there is a need for change. Now, the disclaimer...most of the time people feel like they need to hit rock bottom before they feel the need to change...other times people feel like many different things in their life need to go wrong before this "time for change" comes. In this case, it is simply not true. Things are running quite good...I still am loving my life...having a great time doing it. I have looked inward many different times this week, and realized that I am a person starting to settle for what I am comfortable with, thus lacking the need to push myself. I realize that I am not always going to be the best--at every aspect of my life...but on those same lines--I can also pick up the slack in a lot of areas that I feel that I have lost focus of. I am also realizing that there are many things in my life RIGHT now that are ready for the taking...and I need to be the one to step up and take them.
I know that some of you continuing on reading this may be thinking that I have nerves of steel to write so many things so confidently...and I hope you see this new direction for me far deeper than its face value...it goes much further behind that. I ask for your friendship...your continued support, and basically your positivity.
I know that I challenge alot...and I am not ashamed of that at all. I will continue to challenge things in my life...and I strongly encourage you to do the same--challenge yourself...challenge information...challenge what makes you uncomfortable--and challenge what makes you comfortable. And always remember, that those older, and in more power may be the biggest culprits of negativity, and they may sneak when you don't even notice.
I am only young...I don't know where I get off writing this stuff, but I am excited. No other words! I know things are going great...and I am looking up at this great mountain of life...ready to scale to the top.
It starts tomorrow.
"It's driven me before and it seems to be the way
that everyone else gets around.
But lately I'm beginning to find that when
I drive myself my light is found. "
If I have not seen you in a while...chances are I'm missin you. Do me a favor...take care--and live it up :)
S'all I got.
