I'm on the "Up and Up"

I never know how to start these posts... It's kind of like writing a paper. I know what I want to say, and common knowledge that it's a good idea to write the body of the paper first, and the introduction later. Because of the perfectionist I am, I can't do that. I struggle sometimes trying to make the perfect introduction. But once I get going, it just flows.

Now, you might be wondering why I told you that. Well, one, it shows you a part of how my brain works; and two, intro? Check.

There's a song by Relient K called "Up and Up." The words don't exactly describe what I'm trying to portray, but it has a good overall message:

The first verse goes like:

"Yesterday was not quite what it could've been
As were most of all the days before
But I swear today, with every breath I'm breathing in
I'll be trying to make it so much more

'Cause it seems I get so hung up on the history of what's gone wrong
And the hope of a new day is sometimes hard to see
But I'm finally catching on to it, yeah, the past is just a conduit
And the light, there at the end is where I'll be"

 

I really like this song because it talks about that that yesterday happened, but today is what I need to focus on. I shouldn't focus on past mistakes, past unachieved goals, past things I could've done. "I haven't given up on what I know I'm capable of."

 

Every day should be a new start, a new change. A new chance for you to start over, work on your goals and what you want to achieve.

 

 

I'm on the up and up. I'm getting back into life again, continuing on with school, and being more independent. I've set goals to work out and goals to not complain, to look at the bright side, and to be a better person. Set your goals, and direct yourself to the up and up!

 

(thank you, Relient K for the "Up and Up" reference)

 

Keep running!
