Home is where the heart is. Word.

                There are a lot of lyrics that I apply to my daily life, or think about regularly. I’ll pick two though for the sake of the blog, only because I could write a book about this.

                The first one is a little embarrassing, so we’ll start with that. It’s more of a temporary idea bouncing around in my head. It has a lot to do with moving on from high school to college, and my fear of leaving certain people behind.

                “Nothing feels like home, when you’re a thousand miles away.” It’s a Mayday Parade song. I know I probably should’ve stopped listening to that song in like eighth grade, but it’s just so sappy and lame but surprisingly perfect and I love it.

                The song describes a relationship and the complications that arise when distance is involved. I don’t want to get to in depth with details, but let’s just say it’s hard to let go of someone you love even though you know it’s the best thing for them. 

                Though it’s sad, I’m still excited. I look at all the things we have ahead of both of us (me and this person I’m referring to in the previous paragraph), the opportunities that college will bring, and the fun people we’ll meet. In the back of my mind I know home is right where I left it, and it’s not going anywhere for a while.

                Which is why the next lyric is like the anthem to my life, I started listening to this song about six or seven years ago. It still influences me today. “And on that day, we’ll say hey baby we made it. We’re on top of the world. And on that day, we’ll become everything we dreamed and longed for so long to be, on that day.” It’s a song by This Providence. Another throw back from early 2000’s when pop punk was the shizz.

                This song is my coffee in the morning. If I’m ever doubtful, I look back at that song and realize everything that the future has to offer and that all I need to do is be patient and work hard. It reminds me that if I stay true to myself and beliefs I can never get lost and the people I love will always be there for me at heart.
