"Life Is Wonderful"
Jason Mraz
It takes a crane to build a crane
It takes two floors to make a story
It takes an egg to make a hen
It takes a hen to make an egg
There is no end to what I'm saying
It takes a thought to make a word
And it takes some words to make an action
It takes some work to make it work
It takes some good to make it hurt
It takes some bad for satisfaction
La la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la life goes full circle
Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Al la la la la
It takes a night to make it dawn
And it takes a day to make you yawn brother
And it takes some old to make you young
It takes some cold to know the sun
It takes the one to have the other
And it takes no time to fall in love
But it takes you years to know what love is
It takes some fears to make you trust
It takes those tears to make it rust
It takes the dust to have it polished
Ha la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la life goes full circle
Ah la la la la la la life is so full of
Ah la la la la la la life is so rough
Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la life goes full circle
Ah la la la la la la life is our love
Ah la la la la la
It takes some silence to make sound
It takes a loss before you found it
And it takes a road to go nowhere
It takes a toll to make you care
It takes a hole to make a mountain
Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la life goes full circle
Ha la la la la la life is wonderful
Ha la la la la la life is meaningful
Ha la la la la la life is wonderful
Ha la la la la la life it is...so... wonderful
It is so meaningful
It is so wonderful
It is meaningful
It is wonderful
It is meaningful
It goes full circle
Wonderful
Meaningful
Full circle
Wonderful
Ok so it's kinda corny. I don't care, this song makes every bad day better for me. It's just so true.
"And it takes no time to fall in love/ But it takes you years to know what love is"
Come on? Have truer words ever been spoken? You can fall in love in seconds, fancy that you've found "the one." But really you don't know what love is until you've been in it for years. I know I'm not the most experienced. But I know what it feels like to see someone you love in heartbreaking pain and knowing you can do nothing to make it better and then feeling your own heart break because of that fact. And I know it's cliche but I DO know what it's like to love someone with all your heart and have them tell you after 3 years you're not what they want. And knowing that your broken heart is worth suffering to give them a chance to find something better, or maybe realize there isn't better... Then smiling when they look happy years later, with a new girl, actually realizing all his dreams, the ones he dreamed up while lying in bed with you only thinking they were a fantasy.
Yea I wandered off there. I guess I'm having a reflective night. "Life goes full circle"
Really who knows what's in store. I reminisce and catch myself looking backwards instead of forwards a bit more than I'd like. Yet at the same time I know things will never go as planned. That's exciting. The fact that someone I can meet tomorrow, in ten years, or someone I loved years ago, or months ago, or even a long time friend can make a missing piece of my puzzle complete is so exciting...no matter which way it goes.
The fact that the 2 years of hard work I've done in school were for nothing except to lead me into a brand new understanding of what I'm meant to do. Is at first a let down (I mean missed party time...missed money!) but in the end so terrific. And now I've veered off into a completely new specialty. I have finally realized that after years of complaining my only passion was travel (and I can't make a career out of that) I have found another passion. Another puzzle piece?
I know my puzzle is a complicated one. And there are millions of pieces. Maybe even some of you are a piece. The fact that one entry I wrote while feeling the crappiest and loneliest I've ever felt made two people who don't even know me reach out is pretty special. A few pieces of myself came back that day. I guess every day that we just try to make the most of it is another piece of the puzzle. Doing the best we can to face life's curve balls. The good ones that send you flying into home and the ones that send you reeling face first into the mud. In the end the good and the bad don't really matter any more. Because it always changes, heartbreak one day is a new opportunity the next. We'd never be where we are today without those bad times. So I guess it's time for me to embrace the falls in the mud as much as I do the home runs. I mean a good mud bath never did a girl harm now did it?
