Untitled

Hi readers. Unfortunately, I don't have anything new and interesting to write about today. Well, not yet atleast. However, while writing a speech for my class tomorrow, I heard a song that got some serious wheels turning in my mind. I feel it's my duty to warn you though, that today's topic of discussion is out of the ordinary for me, and I'm sorry about that. But my ultimate goal in the publishing of my blog, is to share the things that happen to me in this crazy, unpredictable world, as soon as they occur. Now that I'm done beating around the bush, today I want to talk about love (gross!).

Now I'd never lie to you and say that I'm a deep or profound person. I don't try to shake up the world with the things that I say, and I have no expectations of influencing anyone. With the exception of two, maybe three people, I still believe that you've ended up on my blogspot merely by accident, and that nothing but curiosity has caused you to continue reading. Anyway, I'm glad you're here and I hope you like what you see.

Over this past winter break I had a surprisingly good conversation about love. What I learned learned is that love is supposed to be natural. If you have to force yoursef to love someone, something isn't right. I personally believe that when you love someone, it shows in the the things you do on a normal basis; not the extra s**t you force yourself to do because you think you're supposed to.

Also, I was convinced that when you're in love, you don't ask the other person to change anything about them. Not because you don't want to be rude, but rather because they're already perfect in your eyes. And in return, you find yourself wanting to be a better person, in hopes that you can one day give to them what they give to you, not even realizing that the feelings on the other end are mutual. It's trippy.

Which brings me to my point. I heard "Loving Me 4 Me" by Christina Aguilera and it reminded me of this conversation for different reasons. I don't know if she wrote these lyrics but its deep. I appreciated the instruments before I appreciated the lyrics, but both are pretty intense. It looks long but every word matters. I suggest listening to the song while or after you read the lyrics. Enjoy.

Christina Aguilera - Loving Me 4 Me

People ask if I'm in love with you
Because I'm sitting here with your picture
And smiling to myself
I'm kinda lost in my own thoughts of you
My heart speaks before my mind thinks through
And I blush as I say yes

What a feeling of vulnerability coming over me
And I'm feeling weak and I can't speak
I can't think
Never thought I'd give in so willingly to a human being
With abilites to set me free
Let me be me
Makes me wanna say

Your lips, your eyes, your smile, your kiss
I must admit it's a part of me
You please me, complete me, filling me
Like a melody
Your soul, your flow, your youth
Your truth is simply proof
We were meant to be
But the best quality that's hooking me
Is that you're loving me 4 me

Now people ask why I'm in love with you
Well let me start by sayin you got my heart
By just being who you are
And what we got is between me and you
Doesn't matter about the money I make or what I do
Or that I'm a star

Unconditionally you're there for me
Undeniably you inspire me, spiritually
So sweet
This is meaningful, it's incredible
Pleasurable, unforgettable
The way I feel (I feel)
So surreal
Makes me wanna say

**Chorus**

It's so amazing how something so sweet
Has come and rearranged my life
I've been kissed by destiny
Oh heaven came and saved me
An angel was placed at my feet
This isn't ordinary
(She's) loving me 4 me

1 the walls CAN talk:
