Can something be both "New" and "Favorite"?
"On the Radio"
- Regina Spektor
This is my new favorite song.
I'm not sure if something can technically be both "new" and "favorite"
But I'm in love with this.
Particularly these lyrics
"No, this is how it works
You peer inside yourself
You take the things you like
And try to love the things you took
And then you take that love you made
And stick it into some
Someone else's heart
Pumping someone else's blood"
My dance teacher and director once told me a relationship is comprised of three relationships in itself. Your relationship with yourself, your significant other's relationship with themselves, and your relationship with each other.
Thanks Regina, for reminding me that loving yourself is as important as, and the first step to, sharing your love with others.
I have never seen love described more simplistically, or more beautifully. So beautifully simplistic!
With so many negative influences out there, from novels like the Twilight Series, where the lead woman Bella is a frail creature with little to no self confidence, to magazines like 17 magazine that tell us the way to someone's heart is through manipulation, and seductive perfume, it's refreshing to hear that someone has found love after simply ( but not simply, if ya know what i mean )finding love for themselves.
All in all, I'm refreshed by this song.
( Cucumbers anyone? )
I also wish i could play an instrument. I gave up on the guitar after concluding my fingers just weren't long and/or stretchy enough to play the chords.
I should find time to try again. I really think i would love to be able to express myself that way.
SPEAKING OF...
expressing myself.
*** Side thought.
You know how most people are attracted to a) words in capital letters and b) the last sentence of something? What if i were just to
AND THEN I WAS LIKE THAT PONY IS CLIMBING UP A TREE!
*** Side note finished.
But speaking of expressing myself.
I'm going to uploading some of my artsy fartsy work to the page artsy fartsy(and other fun stuff)pretty darn soon. So check it out ladies and gents.

THE SWAMP ZOMBIES ARE ATTACKING!
Sincerely,
Julia Lemons.
