Another year older...another year wiser? Who knows. This year, though...this year will be different. I'm going to make sure of it. I woke up this morning to a huge bouquet of really beautiful flowers on my doorstep. They were from Mom, Karen, The Husband, and Sean. I really do love my family, as much as I complain. It's those little things that you just don't expect that are the best.
Alex and I were thinking of heading to the bar tonight after dinner, but I think I'll suggest doing that tomorrow night instead. When people don't have work to worry about. So if anyone wants to join us and buy me a drink, feel free to. Just...no singing. Please.
And uh...I may have been a little too in the spirit of being home last night...I don't think Pup appreciated being used for my amusement.
Was I really only gone five days? It felt like so much longer. I think if it weren't for last night's party I might still be there. I'm tempted to go back and finish out my week there, but I won't. I'm playing hookey today though...they weren't expecting me in and...I'm not quite ready to be back.
I am glad I came back last night. I've had a lot of realizations...or...a lot is starting to come to me. I think it started the other day...when I saw Kevin...and all of that....
But really it was early evening yesterday, when I was sitting at the bar, talking to the owner Greg, and he just looked at me and said, "Why are you here? Go the hell home." And a song came on the speakers, and I made him shut up as I listened to it...as lame as it sounds, it spoke to me. So I got up, packed up, grabbed Pup....and came home.
I'm not a perfect person
There's many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you
I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with every day
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
That's why I need you to hear
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you
and the reason is you
and the reason is you
and the reason is you
I'm not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you
I've found a reason to show
A side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you
Hoobastank - The Reason I thought of a few really important people when I was listening to this...thinking of my "reasons"...and the final person, the final reason, I came up with....was me.
The reason is me.
