It's a Process.

You should probably skip to like 30 seconds in. You don't have to, you can hear the man talk if you'd like.

Now that you've heard the song (and I'm assuming you have), I'd like to share why this song is so worthy of a blog post. Life to me has been a very long, hard, and terrifying process. But a process all the same. The lyrics from this song represent who I am as a person. I like to push people away and I sometimes look back an wished I hadn't. I build myself up, just to keep pushing myself back down because I sometimes don't think I'm good enough. How silly.

I've got a lot of loose ends, I've done some damage, 
I've cut the rope so they fray,
I've got a lot of good friends, keeping me distracted,
keeping my sanity safe,

Chorus:
Here, I stand on the edge of the ledges I've made, 
Looking for a steady hand,
Here, I stand in the land of the rocks in the valley,
Trying to be a better man (for you),

I drink a little too much, It makes me nervous, 
I've got my grandfathers blood,
I take a little too much, without giving back,
If blessed are the meek then I'm cursed,

REPEAT CHORUS. 

And I want to learn how to love, 
And give it all back,
And be forgiven for all I've done.

What this song taught me is that friends are important and life isn't just about getting somewhere. Sometimes we all have to stop and listen and something beautiful may happen. We all get so caught up in going, coming, receiving, giving, connecting, etc etc. TAKE SOME TIME TO YOURSELF. Enjoy the little moments of happiness in life with a stranger. Appreciate who YOU are, because if you don't how can you expect to appreciate anyone else?

Appreciate a song or two, it just might teach you how valuable you really are.
