"These Days" ~ Foo Fighters

One of these days the ground will drop out from beneath your feet

One of these days your heart will stop and play its final beat

One of these days the clocks will stop and time won't mean a thing

One of these days their bombs will drop and silence everything

But it's alright

Yeah it's alright

I said it's alright

Easy for you to say

Your heart has never been broken

Your pride has never been stolen

Not yet not yet

One of these days

I bet your heart'll be broken

I bet your pride'll be stolen

I bet I bet I bet I bet

One of these days

One of these days

One of these days your eyes will close and pain will disappear

One of these days you will forget to hope and learn to fear

But it's alright

Yeah it's alright

I said it's alright

Easy for you to say

Your heart has never been broken

Your pride has never been stolen

Not yet not yet

One of these days

I bet your heart'll be broken

I bet your pride'll be stolen

I bet I bet I bet I bet

One of these days

One of these days

But it's alright

Yeah it's alright

I said it's alright

Yes it's alright

Don't say it's alright

Don't say it's alright

Don't say it's alright

One of these days your heart will stop and play its final beat

But it's alright

Easy for you to say

Your heart has never been broken

Your pride has never been stolen

Not yet not yet

One of these days

I bet your heart will be broken

I bet your pride will be stolen

I bet I bet I bet I bet

One of these days

One of these days

One of these days

Oh, dysfunction, how do I love thee...

"Dysfunction can be so damn heartwarming at times."

A quote I can totally relate to. Pretty sad actually, but comforting to know that "somewhere out there,beneath the pale moonlight,someone's" as dysfunctional as me... and so are their relationships, careers, and life.

What we've got here is failure to communicate

Ever feel like you're trying to communicate something to someone and it feels like a war? Do you feel defensive? Like you have to protect yourself? What should you do? Stand your ground? Or find another way to communicate? Have you ever stepped back to think about how your message is being perceived by others? Maybe you should. That does not mean you are right or wrong. It just means that you might have to find another way to deliver your message so that the people listening will understand what you are trying to communicate. It's not the responsibility of your audience to understand your message. It's your responsibility to communicate your message in a way that your audience will understand.

"What we've got here is failure to communicate"

How many times can I break till I shatter?

How many times can I break till I shatter? 

Over the line can't define what I'm after 

I always turn the car around 

Give me a break let me make my own pattern 

All that it takes is some time but I'm shattered 

I always turn the car around

Shattered - O.A.R.

How many times have you ever felt like this? So broken? So shattered? And you keep going back to that place that broke you? Sometimes you just have to cut those ties and move forward... 

Your Life Tells a Story...

“Your life tells a story and there is someone out there who needs to hear it.  You may think you story is not sensational, but it does not have to be sensational it just has to be sincere.  If your audience can relate to you and your experiences, and chances are they will, then you need to tell them what you have been though share your life, share your love and share your message with the world.” 

–Mark Brown, 1995 World Champion of Public Speaking. 

Stronger

One thing you learn once you start studying physiology is that muscle strength is created by lifting weights, which creates tiny tears in the tissue. Within 48 hours after creating the tiny tears, they start to keloid, and become stronger. That is muscle strength: tearing and then becoming stronger. This parallels life. If we allow ourselves, we can become stronger in the very places we’ve been broken. (Paraphrased quote of Jane Fonda from “Oprah’s Master Class”.)

Strong

You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only option you have left

Lyrics Quotes & Stuff

Lyrics, quotes and stuff was created so I could document things I like, think, experience. So far, it has been mostly lyrics and quotes with less "stuff"... aka my thoughts on life, parenting, spirituality, psychology, and what I find to be interesting and important things in life... Basically, my dairy of sorts. So with that in mind, I will begin to document more stuff.

Paola

Act as if...

Do not worry...

Matthew 6:25-27 “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?

Opportunities

Don't wait for extraordinary opportunities. Seize common occasions and make them great. Weak men wait for opportunities; strong men make them. Orison Swett Marden

I Can Do Bad All By Myself

Luke 12:48

From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked

Ed Sheeran ~ The A Team

White lips, pale face... Breathing in snowflakes... Burnt lungs, sour taste... Light's gone, day's end... Struggling to pay rent... Long nights, strange men... And they say... She's in the Class A Team... Stuck in her daydream... Been this way since 18... But lately her face seems... Slowly sinking, wasting... Crumbling like pastries... And they scream... The worst things in life come free to us... Cos we're just under the upperhand... And go mad for a couple of grams... And she don't want to go outside tonight... And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland... Or sells love to another man It's too cold outside... For angels to fly... Angels to fly... Ripped gloves, raincoat... Tried to swim and stay afloat... Dry house, wet clothes... Loose change, bank notes... Weary-eyed, dry throat... Call girl, no phone... And they say... She's in the Class A Team ...Stuck in her daydream... Been this way since 18... But lately her face seems... Slowly sinking, wasting... Crumbling like pastries... And they scream... The worst things in life come free to us... Cos we're just under the upperhand... And go mad for a couple of grams... But she don't want to go outside tonight... And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland... Or sells love to another man... It's too cold outside... For angels to fly... An angel will die... Covered in white... Closed eye... And hoping for a better life... This time, we'll fade out tonight... Straight down the line... And they say... She's in the Class A Team... Stuck in her daydream... Been this way since 18... But lately her face seems... Slowly sinking, wasting... Crumbling like pastries... They scream... The worst things in life come free to us... And we're all under the upperhand... Go mad for a couple of grams... And we don't want to go outside tonight... And in a pipe we fly to the Motherland... Or sell love to another man... It's too cold outside... For angels to fly... Angels to fly... To fly, fly... Angels to fly, to fly, to fly Angels to die...

Ambition

‎"Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great"
Mark Twain

The Ice Is Getting Thinner ~ Death Cab For Cutie

We're not the same, dear, as we used to be.
The seasons have changed and so have we.
There was little we could say, and even less we could do
To stop the ice from getting thinner under me and you.

We bury our love in the wintery grave
A lump in the snow was all that remained.
But we stayed by its side as the days turned to weeks
And the ice kept getting thinner with every word that we'd speak.

And when spring arrived
We were taken by surprise when the floes under our feet bled into the sea
And nothing was left for you and me.

We're not the same, dear,
And it seems to me
There's nowhere we can go
With nothing underneath.
And it saddens me to say
But we both know, well, it's true
That the ice was getting thinner
Under me and you.
The ice was getting thinner
Under me and you.

"Ours" Taylor Swift

Elevator buttons and morning air
Strangers' silence makes me want to take the stairs
If you were here we'd laugh about their vacant stares
But right now my time is theirs

Seems like there's always someone who disapproves
They'll judge it like they know about me and you
And the verdict comes from those with nothing else to do
The jury's out, my choice is you

So don't you worry your pretty little mind
People throw rocks at things that shine
And life makes love look hard
The stakes are high, the water's rough
But this love is ours

You never know what people have up their sleeves
Ghosts from your past gonna jump out at me
Lurking in the shadows with their lip gloss smiles
But I don't care 'cause right now you're mine

And you'll say
Don't you worry your pretty little mind
People throw rocks at things that shine
And life makes love look hard
The stakes are high, the water's rough
But this love is ours

And it's not theirs to speculate
If it's wrong and
Your hands are tough
But they are where mine belong and
I'll fight their doubt and give you faith
With this song for you

'Cause I love the gap between your teeth
And I love the riddles that you speak
And any snide remarks from my father about your tattoos will be ignored
'Cause my heart is yours

So don't you worry your pretty little mind
People throw rocks at things that shine
And life makes love look hard
Don't you worry your pretty little mind
People throw rocks at things that shine
But they can't take what's ours
They can't take what's ours

The stakes are high, the water's rough
But this love is ours

Volcy

Don't wait for time. Make it.
Don't wait for love. Feel it.
Don't wait for money. Earn it.
Don't wait for the path. Find it.
Don't wait for opportunity. Create it.
Don't go for less. Get the best.
Don't compare. Be unique.
Don't fight your misfortune. Transform it.
Don't avoid failure. Use it.
Don't dwell on mistake. Learn from it.
Don't back down. Go around.
Don't close your eyes. Open your mind.
Don't run for life. Embrace it.
