Wicked

Defying Gravity

It's time to try
Defying gravity
I think I'll try
Defying gravity
And you can't pull me down!

Some things I cannot change
But till I try, I'll never know!
Too long I've been afraid of
Losing love I guess I've lost
Well, if that's love
It comes at much too high a cost!
I'd sooner buy
Defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye
I'm defying gravity
And you can't pull me down

Ahhh...love this song :D

Lash Out

Why is it that when people are super stressed and angry about some unknown thing (possibly made-up) they take it out on some unknowing person? They always seem to lash out. Flip the mood for everyone else. Rather than taking care of their problems in a logical and smart way?

How does this lashing out help? How does it make it any better?

Let me tell you-it doesn't.

It doesn't.

Instead, it tears people apart.

It does.

Seasons

It's like someone's shuffled your deck of cards, and you have a chance to draw a whole new hand, and everything's fresh and you get to have another start at making new friends.

-Madeleine

Its kinda true, ya know? Like, I get a whole new chance to start life. I guess I'm even a little bit lucky.

The thing is everyone is a little bit right. Mom is a little bit right about how I will always have my family, no matter where i go. Madeleine, about how i can really just start over. Ross, how it will be fun. Even Ecclesiastes, about how for everything there is a season. And all these little rights, i guess, add up to one big right. So maybe, this will work. Maybe this is okay. Maybe this really is right.

Do you ever wonder

Do you ever wonder why things are happening the way they are? Like, suddenly, something happens to disrupt the silence, the peace you have. And so all of a sudden, it seems as if you are thrown into a tornado, where nothing you can do or say will change anything, and the best chance you have of surviving is just going with the flow, doing what you are supposed to, because you don't want to do anything that might disrupt anything else, get you thrown into another tornado?

Do you ever wonder how annoying boys can be...but yet we girls put up with it anyways, because we fall head over heels for them, despite their imperfections. this is almost sad, but at the same time, doesn't it seem reassuring? people have been falling in love for centuries, so, its like, reassurance in being the same, in unchangingness (is that a word?)

Do you ever wonder why sometimes it feels like you're living in a dream? and any minute now, you're going to wake up, and someone will be yelling in your face, "Just Kidding!"?? How sometimes it feels like you're living on the edge, and any minute you might just fall off?

Do you ever wonder why soldiers like Gunnery Sergeant John Basilone give away their lives for us? When it would have been easier to stay at home? Or like Major Dick Winters, giving away his life at home to save groups of soldiers, to lead them and to help win the war? Putting their lives at risk, only as to save ours? Why heroes like them hardly get the recognition they deserve? And while celebrities get more attention than they do, the soldiers out on the field are saving everyones lives, without the intention of getting recognition or fame and glory?

So here is my proposal, when everything seems like it is about to go down the drain, soldiers are dieing, people are suicidal, not falling in love, unsettling the silence, don't give up. push to the end. because even though i wonder if there is ever going to be that thing that sets everything back into place, that makes it normal again, im sure its going to happen. but we need to stand strong, stand united. Because in the end, all that will matter is love. So love.
