My sister and best friend wrote this. She has a fairly successful band based in Chicago, and she writes some of their music. This is, without a doubt, my favorite song out of any of theirs. I would love to hear interpretations or thoughts on this, as I find it to be one of the most profound, emotional things I've ever heard.
Home is supposed to be a place of serenity, a place to relax, a place to be yourself and unwind. What if home is not that? What if you are terrified to go home? Where does one find the time and place to let the mind heal?
I work in a hospital. I love my job, but as I am sitting here listening to the receptionist check in those who are coming for a long term visit, I am wondering why they are being told they will get a nice rest?
I used to think to myself all the time as a kid, "I just don't get them," refering to my parents. I'm guessing this statement will resonate with many of you out there in Blog World. At some point I gave up and just accepted who they are. However, questions about them have gone unanswered. That is, until now.
I could feel the tug of the rope and the cool sensation of the lake as I was dragged underwater by the boat. The time must have been minimal and although uncertain of specifics, by the time I had surfaced I was well aware something horrific had happened. Reaching down, I grasped my left leg only to realize my whole calf had been ripped apart.
The funny thing about time, is it takes many forms.
What in the hell do you mean by that Shawn?
Well I'm saying, as poetic as it may sound, that time just has it's own way of making things the way that they should be.
Time has different forms as I stated in the begining. They are as follows:
1. Anticipation
2. Desperation
3. Happiness/Pain
4. Past/Present/Future
So if you read my last blog, you'd know that the past few months have been really rough. And if you haven't, then... my boyfriend's in the Army and was deployed to Afghanistan about 6 weeks ago. It has been extremely difficult to deal with for so many reasons. I have bipolar disorder and borderline personality disorder (but nothing too severe) and take a mood stabilizer, which helps in general.
I wrote this a little while back, it was intended as a 1 year anniversory gift. I thought since progressive bloggers focus so hard on serious, and sometimes, covtroversial topics, it was time for a little love.
