Stumbling Leads Me to Great Findings

I did not write this.

"I've learned that..."

• you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is be someone who can be loved. The rest is up to them.
• no matter how much I care, some people just don't care back.
• it takes years to build up trust, and only seconds to destroy it.
• it's not what you have in your life, but who you have in your life that counts.
• you can do something in an instant that will give you a heartache for life.
• no matter how thin you slice it, there are always two sides.
• you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them.
• we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.
• there are people who love you dearly, but just don't know how to show it.
• true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. Same goes for true love.
• just because someone doesnt love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.
• maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had and what you've learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated.
• no matter how good a friend someone is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.
• no matter how bad your heart is broken the world doesn't stop for your grief.
• just because two people argue, it doesn't mean they don't love each other. And just because they don't argue, it doesn't mean they do.
• we don't have to change friends if we understand that friends change.
• you shouldn't be so eager to find out a secret. It could change your life forever.
• there are many ways of falling and staying in love.
• no matter how many friends you have, if you are their pillar, you will feel lonely and lost at the times you need them most.
• the people you care most about in life are taken from you too soon.
• although the word "love" can have many different meanings, it loses value when overly used.
• love is not for me to keep, but to pass on to the next person I see.
• there are people who love you dearly but just don't know how to show it.
• even when I have pains, I don't have to be one.
• every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love that human touch-holding hands, a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back.
• I still have a lot to learn......

Day 17: A Song That I Hear Often on the Radio

I'm forced to listen to the radio on my way to work and the studio arts building.
With mainstream radio, it never fails to play a song at least 50 times in one day on every station.
I hear this song at least 5 times in one day.
I'm not kidding.

Day 16: A Song I Used to Love, but Now Hate

Can't say that has ever happened to me, because generally with songs I love, I will always love because of two reasons:
1) Because they're really good songs.
2) They hold a nostalgic affect on me whether they're good or not, and I used to think they or it was good.
But this song I could never hate.
It gives me goosebumps with the first chords.
I used to LOVE this song, and I don't hate it per se...
I just have a hard time listening to it sometimes for personal reasons.
Don't worry, I still love you, John Mayer.

Day 15: A Song that Describes Me

Alright, I thought about many contenders for this one.
I thought about "Man, I Feel Like a Woman" by Shania Twain because I sing that a lot at karaoke.
"I'm Not a Girl Not Yet a Woman" by Britney Spears was far too cheesy.
"Misery Business" by Paramore because that has a lot of meaning to me.
"Jar of Hearts" by Christina Perri because that too is my life in a nutshell.
But then I just kept thinking about sad songs that always remind me of things in my life, but I don't want to describe myself as a sad person. 
So I turned on my iTunes and came across this song because when I'm feeling down, I play music.
"Maybe sometimes, we feel afraid, but it's alright."

Day 14: A Song No One Would Expect Me to Love

Ok, this one was really hard to think of because everyone knows I love pretty much everything.
But then I remembered my childhood and listening to this song, and I actually still love this song a lot.
And the video is freakin sweet.
But it's not just the song, I think it's the band people wouldn't expect me to love.
Nostalgia will do that to you I guess.
I want my MTV!

Antique Collecting

So as said in blog post "Antique Room", I am starting to collect antiques.

Though my newest purchase isn't really that old, at least I don't think it is, it is pretty cool.

And it plays music.

PS - you're gonna love the frozen image at the end of the video...oh webcams.

Day 13: A Song That Is A Guilty Pleasure

Let's be honest, anything by the Backstreet Boys is my guilty pleasure.
Let's be even more honest, anything from my childhood is my guilty pleasure.
But I love BSB.
I can't help myself.
First concert ever in 5th grade.
BSB FOREVER!!
I like N*SYNC too.
And 98 degrees.
It's fine.
