Music and Relationships: An Analogy

My good friend and Freestyle's guitarist, Tat, once told me that relationships are like music. Most women often hurry towards the bridge of the song while they're still stepping into the verse. We skip so many beautiful lines and melodies because we simply can't wait.

Single girls my age probably commit that same mistake. Maybe it's the pressure of having to see all your friends who are married or engaged, or who just gave birth to their nth child. Maybe it's the age thing and we're almost past our deadline. But for some reason, we end up fastforwarding what we want out of our "meantime" moments and in return, we end up with meantime people...

I am currently at the intro of my song. The melody is kinda catchy at first and the words are full of cheese in it but I don't mind...I like this intro. I'm not sure how short or long this song is going to be but one thing's for sure...I'm definitely gunna take my time before the chorus starts slapping me on the face...

...you were the wind that blew me down...you've clearly swept me off my feet and in my state of vertigo I can't look down...can't feel the ground so will you catch me...

Can't Stop This Thing We Started..

Lucas Scott is wise for his age (well, the writers of One Tree Hill are).

I can't help but rekindle one of their episodes...this is for EVERYONE who is at their crossroads right now...

"There comes a time when every life goes off course. In this desperate moment, you must choose your direction. Will you fight to stay on path? Will others tell you who you are? Or will you label yourself? Will you be haunted by your choice? Or will you embrace your new path? Each morning you choose to move forward or simply give up."

"There comes a time when every life goes off course. In this desperate moment who will you be? Will you let down your defenses, and find solace in someone unexpected? Will you reach out? Will you face your greatest fear bravely? And move forward with faith. Or will you succumb to the darkness in your soul?"

Season Enders....

I’m having another Jerry Maguire moment right now. So many things are lurking in my brain and I just need to write them all here before they get lost in the other million parodies and clichés swimming around every minute of everyday in my head.

I hate season enders…instead of happy endings, they give you dark and twisted cliff-hangers that make you think about your own life. Are we always gunna be stuck at the end of a cliff?

I think I’m now starring in my very own season ender. I still don’t know how this story is going to end...but I sure have a great kick-ass theme song for it….

…changed my mind…I don’t feel like writing anymore…

S-T-U-P-I-D!!!!!

Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up.

You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore.

Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain.

I hate love.

I love Neil Gaiman for this.................
