insomnia

woke up to a train of emotions crashing into me.

I'm not sure what I do to find these people but it has got to stop.

How in the world do you meet someone that has the EXACT same mind set as the one that you just left?

I think everything that I have been fighting off just decided to break down the door.

This may be hard to bounce back from but I know it can happen.

trying to keep my cool

however if emotions keep taking me over like this at 5:35 in the morning..things are gonna have to change.

main focus for the rest of this week:

Making MYSELF happy.

sound of silence

People talking without speaking

People hearing without listening

-Simon and Garfunkel

having a super bum day..

Sometimes life can go complete right.. 

and all of a sudden it's going completely wrong.

but all is fair in love & war

(or so they say..)

Share Some Songs Sunday

so.. Layken and I have decided to do 10 songs that we think the other hasn't heard but would enjoy

although I'm sure she owns some of these.. here's my selection:

Alabama Shakes - "Hold On"

Brett Dennen & Jason Mraz - "Long Road To Forgiveness"

McFly - "Falling In Love"

Jimmy Buffett - "Come Monday"

Meg & Dia - "Bored Of Your Love"

Tilly and the Wall - "I Always Knew"

Jackson Browne - "These Days"

Van Morrison - "Days Like This"

All Time Low - "Stay Awake" (acoustic)

The Band - "The Night They Drove Ol' Dixie Down"

Inspiration

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won if he'd stuck it out.
Don't give up, though the pace seems slow -
You may succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than
It seems to a faint and faltering man;
Often the struggler has given up
When he might have captured the victor's cup,
And he learned too late, when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out -
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are -
It may be near when it seems afar;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit -
It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit.
