I don’t wanna be the one to say, “Goodbye”
But I will, I will, I will
I don’t wanna sit on the pavement while you fly
But I will, I will
Oh, yes, I will

‘Cause maybe in the future, you’re gonna come back
You’re gonna come back around
Maybe in the future, you’re gonna come back
You’re gonna come back
Oh, the only way to really know is to really let it go
Maybe you’re gonna come back
You’re gonna come back
You’re gonna come back to me

I don’t wanna be the first to let it go
Oh, but I know, I know, I know
If you have the last hands that I want to hold
Then I know I’ve got to let them go

‘Cause maybe in the future, you’re gonna come back
You’re gonna come back around
Maybe in the future, you’re gonna come back
You’re gonna come back
Oh, the only way to really know is to really let it go
Maybe you’re gonna come back
You’re gonna come back
You’re gonna come back

I still feel you on the right side of the bed
And I still feel you in the blankets pulled over my head
And I’m gonna wash away (I’m gonna wash away)
Oh, I’m gonna wash away everthing ’til you come home to me

Maybe in the future, you’re gonna come back
You’re gonna come back in the future
You’re gonna come back
You’re gonna come back

Maybe in the future, you’re gonna come back
You’re gonna come back around
Maybe in the future, you’re gonna come back
You’re gonna come back
Oh, the only way to really know is to really let it go

Maybe in the future, you’re gonna come back
(You’re gonna come back)
You’re gonna come back around
Maybe in the future, you’re gonna come back
(You’re gonna come back)
You’re gonna come back around
Oh, the only way to really know is to really let it go
(Maybe in the future, you’re gonna come back)
(You’re gonna come back around)
Maybe you’re gonna come back
(You’re gonna come back)
You’re gonna come back
You’re gonna come back to me

Mmmm
You’re gonna come back to me
You’re gonna come back to me

“Follow your heart, but be quiet for a while first. Ask questions, then feel the answer. Learn to trust your heart.”

Followed my heart: check

Followed my heart but was quiet first: fail

Trying to be quiet…

but it’s hard when you’re all I think about.

I understand the importance of chilling out and taking time for myself…as long as I have one day that’s obligation free, I’m a pretty happy lady. I like to take on challenges and prove I can do it! A few weeks ago I took on a new challenge…a freelance position working with the social media efforts of a PR company. This job on top of my full time day job and Galavanting and Gaperblock means, yep, I’m freaking busy! One top of that I’ve signed up for another burlesque class and recently won a raffle that includes: 3 months worth of martial art classes, 5 free yoga classes, summer-time gym membership, rocking climbing class, and a boxing class….now I think this means by the end of the summer I will be one tiny busy bee! phew. Funny how a raffle can bring so much change in your life! I’ve always wanted to do the rock climbing and I’ve wanted to learn self-defence – amazing how my “want-to-do” list is becoming a “done-that” list!

If we stand still, we watch the world move around us.
If we are moving, we pass by the world. 

For as much of a planner as I am. I don’t think I’ve ever had a life plan. I know people who list out all these milestones, major life to-do’s on college ruled paper as though all these tasks are a grocery list – to be checked off as they are dropped into a cart.  I feel bad for anyone whose life is so prescribed. Degrees, jobs, love, marriage, kids, houses, lifestyle, and all that jazz shouldn’t be a laundry list of accomplishments and yet I see so many people queue up and subscribe to the recipe of life - a pinch of this, a dash of that, stir, strain, and bake on 375 F for 45 minutes and voila! life!

lyrics

This is the first day of my life
Swear I was born right in the doorway
I went out in the rain, suddenly everything changed
They’re spreading blankets on the beach
Yours is the first face that I saw
I think I was blind before I met you
Now I don’t know where I am, don’t know where I’ve been
But I know where I want to go

And so I thought I’d let you know
That these things take forever, I especially am slow
But I realized that I need you
And I wondered if I could come home

Remember the time you drove all night
Just to meet me in the morning
And I thought it was strange, you said everything changed
You felt as if you’d just woke up

And you said, “This is the first day of my life.
I’m glad I didn’t die before I met you.
But, now I don’t care, I could go anywhere with you
And I’d probably be happy.”

So if you wanna be with me
With these things there’s no telling
We’ll just have to wait and see
But I’d rather be working for a paycheck
Than waiting to win the lottery

Besides, maybe this time it’s different
I mean I really think you like me
