A New Journey....

I have decided to approach my blogging as a way to express myself. The title and purpose for my blog came to me after searching through my music. If you know anything about me, you know that my love of music is what drives me. When I was nearly ready to give up hope, I came across a song, "Wild Horses", by Natasha Bedingfield....that I feel represents where I am headed or more importantly how I intend to get there. If you are familiar with the song, you may be wondering how I could relate to this song. Well, I am going to tell you.



When the song starts, there is a feeling of life not being what you expected it to. You may be feeling like you have hit a brick wall and you want to make changes. You are sure that things could be different, but you just don't know how. I have felt this way many times. Whether from bad choices, or just from lack of direction. These feelings can be overwhelming and sometimes even frightening....but there is hope!



Then the song changes and it begins to talk about greener pastures. In my mind, greener pastures would be referring to the positive changes that can be made to make things brighter. Life doesn't always have to seem so overwhelming. There is no need to go far away, because hope is right around the corner. All that you have to do it believe!



These changes are possible when you let go of the things that hold you back. Run freely like the wild horses! Don't be afraid of things to come.... Don't be afraid to let go of your fears.... Don't be afraid to forgive.... Don't be afraid to be the person that you are supposed to be.... Look in the mirror and see the person that you are, not just who you want to be....and stop living in fear! Don't let fear be the fence that holds you back from your dreams....and destroys your hope!



Live your life to the fullest, as though each day is your last! Make the most of everything! Don't have regrets, because at one time....each choice was something that you wanted! Don't lose hope, because it brings joy for each tomorrow! Don't be afraid of failure, because it is only a small stepping stone for success!



I wanna be like the Wild Horses and run freely through my life without fear or limitations......for the only limitations that I have, are those that I place on myself....
