This song has been on my heart and in my head for some time now. I never truly understood it until recently. Makes all the sense in the world to me. Get into these lyrics and vocals. I miss Dru Hill.
"I can put away the letters Hide them in the drawer I can even forget what you sent them for And I can take your name out of my book I can put away the pictures I can put the dreams aside But I just can't seem to put you out of my mind So tell me now, oh
What do I do with the love, tell me baby What do I do with the memories of What do I do with the nights Without you by my side They used to be your's and mine Without you, what do I do with the love
I can go out every night now Stay out til the dawn Do whatever I want to Anytime I want And I can make believe we never met I can clear out all the closets Leave your things outside the door But I just can't seem to not love you anymore So tell me now, tell me now, what do I do?"
You ever have one of those days where you want to give up and give in? Where nothing goes your way? When you feel like the universe is conspiring against you? Yes? That's the kind of week this one was. Nothing good or great happened. I had an insane case of writer's block that I could not shake. It was awful because I have a deadline looming and I haven't written a word that I want to share. The weather hasn't been that great. This drinking only water thing is getting old quickly. I am just agitated and I'm not exactly sure why. So, this week, I have faltered on my happiness project. I couldn't shake the negative thoughts from seeping in. I didn't add one happy thing to my gratitude jar. This was a bad week.
At first, I was upset at myself for falling short. But, then, I remembered I'm only human. Every day will not be all sunshine and rainbows. I get that. I just don't want to let life happen to me. I am striving to live my best life ever. My 2014 will not be a repeat of my 2013. I refuse to let that happen. So far, the 2 1/2 months of this year have already been worlds better than all of last year. I have made a more conscious effort to embrace my life. I've also had trouble sleeping all week. I know that has a lot to do with my mood. It's Friday and I plan to shake all of this off. One bad week does not a bad life make. I refuse to just exist when life is a gift. Some days are better than others but every day I wake up looking down at the ground and not up is a good one. I cannot deny that. Hope you guys have a great weekend!!
