Everyday Influences January 13, 2009

So I had taken a break from writing for a while, but today I heard several different songs that inspired me to write again. Here are some of the lyrics that created the inspiration

Have you ever thrown a fist full of glitter in the air? Have you ever looked fear in the face and said ‘I just don’t care?’ ”.

It made me think of being a child and being fearless. I was always trying new things, never afraid to take a leap and jump head first into something I had never tried and wasn’t scared of the out come. But when did that change? Was there a defining moment? A series of occurances? Or is it the world we live in? Are we forced, but our environment to become fearful of new situations? Im not sure. But I also know that I do want to thrown glitter in the air and see what happens? I bet its fun. I bet it brings back those childhood memories. 

“I’m drinking wine and thinking bliss is on the other side of this I just need a compass and a willing accomplice. All my doubt have filled my head cascading up and down again down an up, around again up and down and round again…Im learning to be brave in my beautiful mistakes”

We have all made mistakes. Endless mistakes. Some we repeat over and over. But do we ever really consider them beautiful. What’s so beautiful about a mistake? For me them all seem to be hard, ugly mistakes. I would put myself down. Beat myself up and almost refuse to call them mistakes and brush them, refusing to learn from them. 

But looking back, I guess they could be considered beautiful. Without those mistakes, who would I be today? Our mistakes make us who were and I guess that is what makes mistakes beautiful but I have never thought of it that way before now. 

 

How often do you hear something and refuse to learn from it?  I think I might learn a little more each day now. Maybe not. I can’t be sure. But I’m sure gonna try.
