Just call my name and I'll be there
Today my heart feels stretched. Yesterday was a day that will live on forever as the day we lost two pop culture icons. When the news of Michael Jackson’s death surfaced I felt it had to be a joke… TMZ is not a reliable news source for information. Then reliable sources started to confirm the news and I suddenly felt very sad. I was actually watching the news and they were talking about Farrah’s life when they interrupted with the news of MJ’s death. MJ’s death is like my generation’s Elvis and I think we’re all a bit numb to the thought.
Yesterday wasn’t very different from any other day. I went to work, I studied in class, and then I came home and expected that the day would end with nothing else of significance happening. We watched two movies yesterday: “Confessions of a Shopaholic” and “Airplane!” both of which were good movies, Gray even enjoy the first!
This morning I’ve been watching “Phoebe in Wonderland” which I also highly recommend because it has been a great drama movie and not too depressing. I think it has also helped me realize that even with these deaths, the world will go on, it always does. It’s more important to enjoy your life and not waste it than to mope through each day. Everytime I think of something I want or desire, I try to realize that I currently have everything I need. It’s been helping my overwhelming desire to have a house or the latest gadgets.
I’m reaching a place where I can’t control my life and although I hate the thought of that, I know it’s for my best interests.
I urge you to examine your own life and see where you’ve become trapped. When you let go of what you desire, sometimes you actually get it, and if you don’t, well maybe it was for the best.
