So here I sit in the parking lot of a Flying J on the edge of Kingman, AZ. Just a few minutes ago I was musing to myself, my best guy friend and my mum (in that order) that I'm getting excited about this move. I'm turning seventeen next Saturday and I'm basically starting a new chapter in my life. Which, in my odd mind, brings me to my next topic: 2 songs that are influncing me right now. 2 totally different songs but nonetheless. First is Be My Escape by Relient K. The first time I heard it I was 13. My best guy friend was always telling me about bands I needed to listen to and this was one. I never downloaded it but then a few days ago I found it on a WOW Hits cd my mum has. Now I'm listening to it nonstop. There's just something in the song that I identify with. In my life I'm always looking for an escape I guess. I hate the situations I tend to get myself into. And so I'm always looking for a way out. Thus, the song. But at the same time, by removing myself from these situations, I'm not really living. I'm letting others live my life. Matt Thiessen says about this song, "this is a song inspired by living a life that is sometimes saturated by the mundane." And that's how I often feel. The 2nd song is by Taylor Swift. It's that one that goes, just another picture to burn. I can't remember the title just know. I feel that this song its not my usual but there is just something about it that I just...get. I'm moving on, both literally and figuratifally. I've left the place I've been for the past 3 years. I've left behind so much. And for the most part it's the bad. I made a lot of changes and desisions over just the past year, not to mention the previous 2. There are peole that I want to forget, and forgetting is so much easier when you are not around them. Maybe some day I can look back on these people or experiences and be fine but for now I cannot. This is not to say that my whole time there was bad, I had many good times. I also made many good friends that I plan on keeping for life. But sometimes the good doesn't always out weigh the bad. And the mean and snobby and fred-necky. But that's a whole 'nother story. Anyways, the song. It makes me feel better about wanting to move on. I can sing along, real loud, with a smile on my face. And that's something I live for.
