Lyric of the Day

"We live, in fear, of our own potential,

to win, to lose, it's all on our hands now..."

Lyric of the Day - 24 October

I have made a choice to be more truthful... to myself. This is not the first time I have made this choice this year, and I doubt it will be the last. But I am going to continue aiming to live my authentic life and do things that will only have a positive outcome for myself and those around me. I am prioritising and streamlining (my new buzz word). I am slowly eradicating all the things in my life that do not bring me happiness. Things that waste my time and do not allow me to focus on the important things in life. Okay, so I started by turning down an invitation out to a club that I feel I have experienced enough and I have taken enough out of. Basically, I'm over it! And then (drumroll!!) I "deactivated" my Facebook account. I think this is the biggest step I have taken so far in reclaiming my life. It is a serious time waster where one gets consumed in other peoples lives and you worry about what people think about you. It is not healthy. I say it is a big step as I was a serious Facebooker. I would comment and wall post and post pictures. My event guide / weekend plans were all based in and around what was on Facebook. I don't know how long this will last, but they say the longer you go without something the easier it gets. I was addicted to what people thought about me and how I was portrayed. Enough. Time to move on and get a real life. So I have taken words of wisdom from my favourite band... Rise Against. They got me through this weekend. On full blast, singing along in my car.

"Simply because you can breathe,

doesn't mean you're alive,

or that you really live.

this life has taken it's toll

and she just doesn't know,

how much more she can give..."

Facebook Addiction Cake - Too awesome for words!

Lyrics of the Day

I just love this band (and yes I know I quote them a lot, but hey! They are the best!!)

"Simply because you can breathe,

doesn't mean you're alive,

or that you really live..."

- Black Masks and Gasoline

"The heart is something you can't control

We either choose to follow or be left on our own"

- Voices off Camera

"We've all been sorry, (who we are) we've all been hurt

But how we survive, (who we are) is what makes us who we are..."

- Survive

"now's the time

to rearrange your life

live for something

outside of your own mind

we all dream

the same dream every night

to burn the world that you call civilized

alive and well

i live to be alive

and i live to always strive

for something more

alive and well..."

- Alive and Well

"We can't spend our lives waiting to live..."

- The Dirt Whispered
