I was walking through the crowded hallways of my school the other day when I heard someone
say something that really made me think.
"This girl I used to be friends with ...."
A normal start of a sentence correct? Well this moment it struck me differently. It made me think about all the friends I used to have and how quickly I have moved on from them. There are plenty of people I know that I used to be friends with that I never speak of anymore. How do we let people just drop out of our lives without even giving a second glance?
We, as human beings have so many emotions but I don't think we realize how quickly we can filter through people. I think about all the people I have known in my life and I wonder where they have all gone. Not to say that I don't have any friends now, because I have many, but why is it that within three years or so they will probably be replaced with new friends. All the memories that I shared will be replaced with new ones and the old one will barely be a blur.
As I sat outside tonight, starring at the moon I wondered who else was starring at that same moon with me. Was it someone I had known in the past?
While in a long-distance relationship not too long ago I told my girlfriend to look at the moon while on the phone. She went outside and did just that. I told her it made me feel closer to her that though we were 2000 miles away from each other we were looking at the same object at the same time. She agreed completely and felt more in love with me than she ever thought possible. It was at that moment that I realized how many people there were in this world and how I would filter through what would and is probably going to feel like a million of them.
A month later she broke up with me and told me that the moon would never be the same to her. The funny thing is I don't talk to her anymore. It makes me wonder if she still thinks of me when she looks at the moon. Are the people that I filtered through ever going to come back into my life? Why is it that when some people can just let go of others completely there is always the other one who is holding on dearly to the thought of them?

My heart is crazy
Little by little by little by little by little
Little by little by little by little by little
Youre messing up my life
Tearing me apart
Breaking up my world
And Im giving up my heart
Little by little by little by little
Im losing all my prideIts really getting bad
Hurting deep inside
Is a-making me go mad, ooh
Little by little by little by little
Little by littleBit by bit
Im going crazy and youre causing it
Little by littleBit by bit
I should stop caring
But my love wont quit
Little by little by little by little by little, yeah
Little by little by little by little by little, all right
I dont know where to turn
Dont know what to doIm walking on thin ice
And it seems Im falling through, ooh
Little by little by little by little
Little by littleBit by bit
Im going crazy and youre causing it
Little by little
Bit by bitI should stop caring
But my love wont quit
Im the queen of fools
Know the deck is stacked
On a losing streak
But Im a-gonna get you back
Little by little by little by little

Ready for me
I want to go back to the nights
Where nothing seemed to matter
And everything just felt okay.
I need to be around
people
I can't be alone because I think.
I think way too much ....
And I hate thinking.
And I do enjoy Skillet a lot
I haven't listened to anything else lately.
Oh and btw. I'm over it
Slash it's the fact that I'm done trying to figure it out
I spent much too long trying to figure out ..umm nothing.
Hey ..I'm bored also.
I want to find some good lyrics to put in here
Oh and ps ..I still don't know where I want to go for college!
I'm really debating MMC and CCNY.
It's pretty much the hardest decision of my life.
Ugh. I will see what happens later I guess.
Oh and more exciting news!
On March 25th I'm going to see Ingrid Michaelson and Joshua Radin
On April 22nd I'm seeing Sarah Bareilles and Rachel Yamagata
And on May 12th I'm seeing Tegan and Sara =)
Yay life.
"There's a war inside of me
Do I cause new heartbreak to write a new broken song
Do I push it down or let it run me right into the ground
I feel like I wouldn't like me if I met me
Well I can't stop talking for fear of listening to unwelcome sound
And you haven't called me in weeks and honestly it's bringing me down
I feel like I wouldn't like me if I met me
I feel like you wouldn't like me if you met me
And don't you worry there's still time
There's nothing to live for when I'm sleeping alone
And I wash the windows outside in hopes that the glare will bring you around
Sunshine is days away I won't be saved I know all the words
I can't say that I'll love you forever
I won't say that I'll love you forever"

Idina Menzel
But she's always in style while she waits
Waving goodbye but she's too tired to cry and she's wasted
A letter he wrote
But it's far too expose so he throws it away
The sound of regret as it's counting the steps back to safe

I don't want to leave you with perfume and promises
But we'll never know 'till we capture and bottle it'
Cause wouldn't it be such a shame
If all was wasted
Not an inch of the room
That isn't in bloom or in light
So we drink 'till its dawn
Every drip 'till it's gone and we're wasted
It's a thing of the truth
But we'll lie and we'll look for the perfect escape
And the moment will go like melted snow in the rain
I don't want to leave you with perfume and promises
But we'll never know 'till we capture and bottle it
Cause wouldn't it be such a shame
If all was wasted
Stay for another morning
Study the curves on my face
Stay even when we're unknowing
Stay 'till they tear you away
I don't want to leave you with perfume and promises
But we'll never know 'till we capture and bottle it
Cause wouldn't it be such a shame
If all was wasted
