We'll start with the optimism. I just sold the TOMS I bought off eBay that didn't fit--so that's great news. I thought I'd be stuck with those for a while. On a bigger scale, I'm realizing that I'm a second semester senior--meaning that I am checking out. So long, hometown, because I'm ready for college. Literally, the only thing that motivates me to get out of bed in the morning is getting good enough grades so that I can be exempt from my finals. But I'm optimistic about becoming a college student and looking forward to this summer. Of course, I'm still focusing on the now and am living every day for right now.
However, I am frustrated. Even though I've been officially accepted into school, I have to spend eight hours in school because I'm required to by law. And my graduation credentials. I'm frustrated by the fact that TOMS.com doesn't have my size in the maroon pair that I want. Frustrated that I have math homework--this is the first time I've had math homework all year. And I'm frustrated by the fact that I'm getting sick. Awesome.
So here's the song: "Fight Another Day" by Brandon Heath. The lyrics are as follows:
It's an uphill climb
But it's all you know
So you spin your wheels and dig your heels
And down you go
So predictable
But it's not your fault
How can you expect to do your best when you're scared to fall?
'Cause the pain is real
But you will survive
It's how you know you're alive
'Cause it's okay now
Hey now
You can let go
'Cause when you find out, find out
Everybody knows
There just ain't no, ain't no
Easy way out
I know it might not look that way
But you're going to live to fight another day
There's a place I know
Outside of town
Let's get out of here
Where all our fears don't hang around
It's another chance
Take it while you can
'Cause it sure won't last
It'll move so fast
And it's gone again
You're on the edge now
But you will survive
It's how you know you're alive
And cause it's okay now
Hey now
You can let go
'Cause when you find out, find out
Everybody knows
There just ain't no, ain't no
Easy way out
I know it might not look that way
But you're going to live to fight another day
Another day, yeah
You wonder what you were made of
I'm telling you know
You're going to make it somehow
What are you so afraid of?
Hey now, hey now
You can let go
'Cause when you find out, find out
That everybody knows
There just ain't no, ain't no
Easy way out
I know it might not look that way
But you're going to live to fight another day
Now hey now
You can let go
'Cause when you find out, find out
Everybody knows
There just ain't no, ain't no
Easy way out
I know it might not look that way
But you're going to live to fight another day
Fight another day
Fight another day...
"It's an uphill climb"? Ugh, yes. I feel like I have to constantly dig my heels and spin my wheels. It's tiring, really. But you know what? It's okay when I let go. Everyone gets that we have struggles and I will continue to fight another day. Because what's high school in the grand scheme of things? What's a website being out of stock in the great picture of life? Nothing overly significant.
So that's my mood in a song. Ta-da!
