Day 2350: “Castle on the Hill” by Ed Sheeran

One friend left to sell clothes
One works down by the coast
One had two kids but lives alone
One’s brother overdosed
One’s already on his second wife
One’s just barely getting by
But these people raised me
And I can’t wait to go home

– Ed Sheeran, “Castle on the Hill”

It’s 11 : 08 AM on day 2350 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read Malachi 1:11 and learn a new word – Definitions for fress 1.Slang. to eat or snack, especially often or in large quantities.

Yesterday I heard “Castle on the Hill” by Ed Sheeran it’s such a beautiful song that made me think of my childhood and my home which to me is not a place but rather the people I love. Listen to “Castle on the Hill” by Ed Sheeran below:

Day 2287: “Holy War” by Alicia Keys

Leave a reply

What if sex was holy and war was obscene
And it wasn’t twisted, what a wonderful dream
Living for love, unafraid of the end
Forgiveness is the only real revenge

Oh so we can heal each other and fill each other
We can break these walls between each other
Baby, blow by blow and brick by brick
Keep yourself open, yourself open
Yeah we can heal each other and fill each other
We can break these walls between each other
Baby, blow by blow and brick by brick
Keep yourself open, you’re open

So maybe we should love somebody
Maybe we could care a little more
So maybe we should love somebody
Instead of polishing the bombs of holy war

Leave a reply

From the way you smile to the way you look
You capture me unlike no other
From the first hello, yeah, that’s all it took
And suddenly we had each other

And I won’t leave you
Always be true
One plus one, two for life
Over and over again

So, don’t ever think I need more
I’ve got the one to live for
No one else will do, and I’m telling you
Just put your heart in my hands
Promise it won’t get broken
We’ll never forget this moment
Yeah, we’ll stay brand-new ’cause I’ll love you
Over and over again

Day 2191: “Heartbeat” by Carrie Underwood

Leave a reply

And tonight I wanna drive so far we’ll only find static on the radio
And we can’t see those city lights and I love the way you look in a firefly glow
Saying everything without making a sound,
A cricket choir in the background, underneath a harvest moon
Standing on your shoes in my bare feet, dancing to the rhythm of your heartbeat
Oh woah, and we’re dancing to the rhythm of your heartbeat

Leave a reply

I still fall on my face sometimes
And I can’t color inside the lines
Cause I’m perfectly incomplete

Day 2147: “I’m a Mess” by Ed Sheeran

Leave a reply

Ooh I’m a mess right now
Inside out
Searching for a sweet surrender
But this is not the end

I can’t work it out
How?
Going through the motions
Going through us

And though I’ve known it for the longest time
And all my hope
All my words are all over written on the signs
But you’re my road walking me home
Home, home, home, home

Day 2119: “Say” by John Mayer

Leave a reply

Have no fear for giving in

Have no fear for giving over

You’d better know that in the end

It’s better to say too much

Than never to say what you need to say again

Even if your hands are shaking

And your faith is broken

Even as the eyes are closing

Do it with a heart wide open (a wide heart)
