Day 2104: “Your Body Is A Wonderland” by John Mayer

Life would be so dull without music – that’s what I keep realizing.

It’s 12 : 00 PM on day 2104 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, learn one new thing – Thewissen says that whales are more closely linked to an extinct pig-like animal, often known as India’s pig or Indohyus, while hippos are closely related to living pigs. But this isn’t accurate according to Theodor. “What Thewissen is saying is that Indohyus is the closest relative of whales – and we agree.- read 6: 21 , have breakfast and work on my 25 Smiles Campaign – raised $5 910 only $340 more to raise before Jan 10 2017 (SO SO SO GRATEFUL to everyone who has supported this campaign so far 🙂 ).

Day 2095: “Holes Inside” by Joe Brooks

Leave a reply

When all that you’ve tried, leaves nothing but holes inside,
It seems like you’re wired, to stay here held in time,
Cause nothing seems to change, oh no.
No nothing’s gonna change, at all.
I can see it in your face, the hope has gone away.

If you hold tight, shadows will be lost in the light.
Oh cause sometimes, fate and your dreams will collide.
So don’t walk away from me,
Don’t walk away from me,
Don’t walk away from me.

– Joe Brooks, “Holes Inside”

Day 2017: “Unwritten” by Natasha Bedingfield

2 Replies

I am unwritten, can’t read my mind, I’m undefined
I’m just beginning, the pen’s in my hand, ending unplanned

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find

Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten

Oh, oh, oh

I break tradition, sometimes my tries, are outside the lines
We’ve been conditioned to not make mistakes, but I can’t live that way

– Natasha Bedingfield,”Unwritten”
