I'd Rather Be Sailing

I'd rather be sailing, yes, I would
On an open sea
I'd stand at the railing if I could
Feeling wild and free

The sun is on my neck, the wind is in my face
The water's incredibly blue
And I'd rather be sailing
Yes, I'd wanna go sail
And then come home to you

Sex is good, but I'd rather be sailing
Food is nice, but I'd rather be sailing
People are swell, but I'd rather be sailing
Over the horizon

And I'd rather be sailing, yes, I would
On an open sea
I'd stand there inhaling if I could
Feeling wild and free

The sun is on my neck, the wind is in my face
The sea is incredibly blue
And I'd rather be sailing
Yes, I'd wanna go sail
And then come home to you

I'd rather be sailing
Yes, I'd wanna go sail
And then come home to you


This song came into my life and seriously spoke to me. It completely explains where I'm at. And it's funny because I've always wanted to live near water and learn to sail. The lyrics "The sun is on my neck. The wind is in my face. The water's incredibly blue" sends chills down my spine. To be on the open water and hear peace. To see calm. To be free.

We don't get that in our mundane lives. We have schedules and responsibilities and meetings and work yadda yadda yadda! Why don't we allow ourselves to be untamed and see where the wind may actually take us? Imagine the possibilities.

I've been obsessed with living on a waterfront and having a dock I can sit on and watch the water. I find the water so peaceful and calming. Maybe that's why I like rain so much.

To have a place to sit and be quiet, listen, and just be. I'd give anything for that. Especially with how crazed my life has been for the last few months, to just have peace would be an absolute dream come true. To have a place to collect and breathe and feel... Maybe I'm talking gibberish, but it seems so perfect.

I feel that there will be more blogs like my most recent coming in the next few days/weeks. I'm in a healing process and music is my way of healing. Sad, happy, angry... who knows where the emotions will take me musically, but I'm just gonna go with it. Here is what I feel I need right now: Lift Me Up By Kate Voegele This road is anything but simple Twisted like a riddle I've seen high and I've seen low So loud, the voices of all my doubts Telling me to give up, to pack up and leave town Even so, I had to believe Impossible means nothing to me, yeah So can you lift me up, Turn the ashes into flames ‘Cause I have overcome More than words will ever say And I've been given hope That there's a light on up the hall And that a day will come When the fight is won And I think that day has just begun Somewhere, every body starts there I'm counting on a small prayer, Lost in a nightmare But I'm here, and suddenly it's so clear Th...

Ever had one of those days...

When nothing makes sense? When you can't seem to do anything right? When you feel things slipping away? When all you need to do is make some hot cocoa, curl up on the couch with your girlfriends, and watch funny movies and just laugh the day away as if it doesn't exist? When you feel restless? Like you're barely getting by in your life? Like you're suffocating just sitting still? Like if you could just get outta here you could breathe? Like you're not alive at all? When you strike out again? When you continue to fight for something that doesn't seem to fight back for you? When your energy and strength has been completely depleted and you have no fight left in you? Where you feel like you've lost all hope that it will happen for you? Today feels like that day.

A Depiction of an Aquarius

A friend of mine sent me a link to an astrology website.  Now, I do not believe in astrology, but I do find it incredibly coincidental.  I began reading the breakdown and was taken aback by how close in description is really is to who I am.  It's not a perfect depiction, but it's the closest I've seen ever. Aquarius Strength Keywords: (All of these are true) - Witty - Clever - Humanitarian - Inventive - Original Aquarius Weakness Keywords: (All of these are true) - Stubborn - Unemotional - Sarcastic - Rebellious - Aloof Aquarius and Independence: Aquarius personality is very independent, any attempt to hold them down or restrict them will cause them, to flee. They need to be free to be on their own. Independence is not just desired by Aquarius, it is essential to their well being. Aquarius and Friendship: Beneath the detached, unemotional exterior lies a kind hearted friend that will go out of their way to help another. They love to make people la...
