And hey! Not forgetting quotes and songs!! Omg, super got the feel to blog because I found two very awesome songs on the SAME day recently, like what are the chances right!! Ah. Serendipity. When you discover something desirable by accident. When no expectations are involved, and that thing, that person just prop up in your life magically and shout "surprise!" Wow. Haha notice how many exclamation marks I have already used in a single paragraph. And the songs by different singers connect with each other so perfectly I can't wait to play them for you. So here's the first one I chanced upon: Cue The Sun by Daphne Loves Derby. Please notice how the lyrics of both songs match each other T_T
If I find my way through the darkest of days,
Will I laugh about the things that kept me awake?
But if my greatest fear paints itself so crystal clear,
Will I run away or will I hide?
And if I don't come home tonight,
Just know I tried my best to fight.
Please don't think I plan to lose to the night.
And curse the moon so dull and bright,
My heavy soul can't stand the light.
It burns me straight to the bones, my bones
In the desert sun I watched my nerves come undone.
One by one my strings they tangled into knots.
And ever since that day, deep in Santa Fe.
I've learned to hate myself for giving everything away.
And if I don't come home tonight,
Just know I tried my best to fight.
Please don't think I plan to lose to the night.
And curse the moon so dull and bright,
My heavy soul can't stand the light.
It burns me straight to the bones, my bones
Daylight comes in the nick of time
Shines some light into the darkest corners of her mind
All the world is, all the world is weighing down on you
Piece by piece, it all falls away
All this beauty, all this magic 'til there's nothing there
If only love was enough, I could reach you, I would reach you
I know I'm not tired of you, but maybe you got tired of me
It seems like every little thing I do makes you pull yourself away
So I'm waiting for the sun, but you only see the grey
Oh no - won't you please come on home
Oh, I've been missing you, you got lost along the way
Oh maybe you aren't lost; it's still in you some way
If only love was enough, I could reach you, I would reach you
I know I'm not tired of you, but maybe you got tired of me
It seems like every little thing I do makes you pull yourself away
So I'm waiting for the sun, but you only see the grey
Oh no - won't you please come on home
Seems like every little thing I do makes you pull yourself away
So I'm waiting for the sun, but you only see the grey
Oh no - won't you please come on home
If only love was enough, I would reach you, I could reach you

So beautiful. The lyrics of both songs are such beautiful poems. If you examine the lyrics of the second song carefully, it's as if he's singing to the singer of the first song. "Cue the sun!" and then the lyrics of "Lost" begin with "Daylight comes in the nick of time.." O M G. I can't chill man, I can't. And then Cameron Mitchell went on to sing "So I'm waiting for the sun but you only see the grey" which is like in response to "my heavy soul can't stand the light". I hope you see this connection the same way as I do. And hopefully, appreciate the songs as much as I do too :)
I was telling a close friend of mine about these songs today and she shared an opinion with me which makes a lot of sense. She said that sometimes when you listen to a song, you don't relate to it at that point of time, like you didn't see the song the way you do now back then. But after having been through certain experiences, listening to the same song again gives you a very different feel. It's like, suddenly you can connect with it very well. BOOM! Hahaha. Shit I'm talking very incoherently now but that's just the way I am la. I don't want to beautify my language and shit anymore. Sometime ago I came across this quote and I couldn't agree with it more:
Especially "I love reading someone else's words and finding a connection with them" and of course, "I love the feeling a good song evokes". Woah.
Honestly, I think I always fall a little bit in love with someone after reading their writings. You know, when you chance upon one person's personal blog and start reading about their thoughts and how they see the world, how much rawness they actually reveal, which is very different from how they present themselves in the real world...my heart just can't help melting away. Especially if the person does not even bother to edit, like I can tell that he/she was just typing away what's on the mind and what's in their hearts. The rare moments when their hearts are actually in their heads. This is what attracts me the most. Honestly. When one is not afraid of showing his/her vulnerabilities like just baring their chests and not crying for attention...you have my heart man. It's like what this quote suggests: "Someone once told me that human beings have three dimensions: how you see yourself, how others see you and how you want others to see you. The closer the distance between these three dimensions, the more at peace you are and the more stable you become." People who speak their minds on their private blog give me the vibe that they are comfortable with being who they are in their own personal space. And they are not afraid of being judged by anyone who happens to see their writing - the "SO WHAT?" kind of attitude.
Haha. I just posted a photo of my drawing of a heart popping out of a bare chest on Instagram. The quotes I shared in the caption are basically how I feel about rawness and vulnerabilities too :) I wish people can be brave and just say what they wanna say. You know, like the lyrics in "Brave" by Sara Bareilles. It's not easy, and yes, it takes trust to reveal something personal about yourself. If you anyhow go around "show and tell", then you're basically an attention-seeker already. Haha. Got difference de right. So yeah, I hope for everybody in this world to have someone, at least one person, that they are not afraid of showing their insecurities and shortcomings. I'm glad I have a few :) And when I count my lucky stars, I count them twice, thrice, more.
