How I did it: Got a shortbread biscuit, or several. Made a drink of Hot Chocolate. Put the shortbread(s) into the drink, ate the shortbread(s), drink the drink.All in all, a tasty experience. Read how I did it…
“Green Day – Boulevard Of Broken Dreams” spoke to me. With lyrics like….
“My shadow’s the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart’s the only thing that’s beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
‘Til then I walk alone”
It’s about being alone. I’ve been alone a lot in my life. (good and bad?)
Thing is though, and this is GOOD.... (very good).... my boyfriend found me…. so I’m not as alone now (I do still sometimes feel alone, guess that never goes away completely, but I feel at least that now I have a good relationship – which I haven’t always had). Actually I found him, but that’s not relevant…. we found each other, basically.
I’m happier now, is my point. As much as that song is beautiful, it’s not “happy” per se. Perhaps I don’t want a HAPPY song, OR a sad song…. just a song, or several EVEN…. that define me. ME. Whether I’m happy or sad – just ME, who I am!
Can I do this? Music is so important to me. I need lots of songs that are just ME!
