"Loving You Is Like a Battle And We Both End Up With Scars"
Wow, I forgot how much listening to some of Lauryn Hill's old stuff makes me want to sit down and write about how I feel! Sometimes I'm listening to something like this or even to some of those joints off her Unplugged album and I think about how, if she's anything like me, hard it must have been to get that stuff out and onto paper (or napkins/post-its/the back of receipts) the way she meant it.
I'm thinking about this because I was chatting on Facebook over the weekend with this guy I knew back in high school, talking about writing. He's in the process of writing a Young Adult novel and asked me what I'm working on. I told him a tiny bit about "Hope" and how I keep hitting an emotional wall when I even think about sitting down to write it. So Bell said "sometimes you just have to get it all out." So true, so true...
*sigh* I swear, my whole life is going to change when I manage to get these words out of me. But honestly, i'm a little scared.
