I think I wold die happy if someone wrote me a song like "I'm Yours Tonight" by The Academy Is... (The Academy Is... what? GAY?! You know you were thinking it.) It's just such a genuine song. It's not a cliche, cheesy love song. It talks about his insecurities and faults, the things he fears and his hopes that she'll never leave. Yet it also delves into the security of being in a stable relationship, knowing she'll stay. I believe love in completely imperfect, and I would define love as being able to think the world of someone in the face of their every imperfection. This is altogether too rare these days. Few people would pull the stars down from the heavens for an empty sky. Good intentions can be enough, if you let them.
I'm in a rare form. You will catch this mood from me for one month only. For one month I stop running while I run a new frame of mind. Octobers are the best times of my life. T minus one day and some odd hours, and I am already in my favorite place. Heavy jackets cover heavy loads and baggy eyes shadow a color of stress. I just want to spin in the street, barefoot, in a yellow dress. I don't want to be the picture of dragging day weeks and headache weekends. I'm weightless, and I want everyone to know. I wore my jackets, my long sleeves and warm shoes, with a smile on my face. The cool flush in your cheeks is my favorite color of beautiful. It looks good on everyone. Cool air can warm your face, if you let it.
When the wind dies down, this is all I need. Today consisted of dreams of picking apples, new fish and a giggle at the name, and an excuse to make art. You know you're in love with the future when doing homework three weeks in advanced excites you. I've never been one to worry about my credentials. Leaders are born. Success is made. Who said it had to stress you out, anyway? Try finding joy in the mundane. Today, a gust of wind caught my back and the tree to my left, and within seconds, leaves were flying overhead like countless colorful birds. Still more seconds later and they settled to the ground. Subtle can speak volumes, if you let it.
If nothing else, let yourself get swept away every now and then. Makes the most of life; make the most of time, because no one is going to do it for you.
Someone will prove to be worth your time, if you let them.
