-note to self-

“It amazes me that people think 
their soul mate is going to show up 
in their life at this predestined time 
and be this flawless person. 
A true soul mate is a mirror of yourself, 
the person who shows you everything
 that is holding you back, 
the person who brings you to your own attention
 so you can change your life. 
Sure, they have a common upbringing, 
similar interests but they have 
the one thing you don’t have
 which is the introspection to help you become great. 
What use is a soul mate 
if they can’t help free you from yourself 
so you can live your life mission?” 

― Shannon L. Alder

The Naked & Famous - Hearts Like Ours

...half awake

and almost there...

Moya - Come & Get It

...In dreams of you

you'll see 

what you want

and I wonder 

if you'll reach 

through the fog

and remember us

or just forget 

forever

so come and get it

before it's all gone

come and get it

before I'm long gone...

Willy Moon - Get Up

...I met a man on the corner

where the blind men see

and these are the words 

that he said to me

"get up on your feet

to get what you need"

I told him

I've already tried

to no avail

But he said to me

over and over

"get up on your feet

to get what you need

but first

you must believe"...

Lulu James - Closer

...i liked when you 

danced upon me

pressing against me

music pounding

locked in a rhythm

I felt young again

I felt alive

I came home at 5am...

Leona Lewis - Lovebird

...my wings seem ready

this time

unbound, thirsty

for hearts and skies

I let it all go

that Thursday night

when my back began to itch,

when they started to grow

and now they're out

in full...

Kelly Rowland - Dirty Laundry

...at 5am

I washed your chords

from my limbs

gently

freeing myself 

with soap

and water...
