A Leap Of Faith

Today is the day I will never forget. I have officially left behind everyone I know and love. So here goes. I am jumping into the unknown at a rapid speed of 24 hours. A day to make the change. I promise myself now that I will have the courage to always stay true to myself. I will push myself to extend my positive attitude wherever I go. I'm all for changes- I mean I love tradition- but I also love new adventures. I'm ready to take that leap of faith and jump over the moon. I can't help but use RENT lyrics when I talk about this experience, but RENT changed my life completely and so will this year. I can't help but compare music to my life. My mom gave me a necklace yesterday for a going away gift. It is a treble clef with "Life's a Song" engraved. I love it and I truly believe in this metaphor. Life varies-just as music does. Each song, like each day, brings forth a new message, a new feeling, a new beat. Today's songs for me are Defying Gravity from Wicked and Big Girls Don't Cry by Fergie. Of course big girls do cry. If we didn't we would be robots, and that's just no fun at all. But the lyrics of this song have so much meaning to me today. "I hope you know that this has nothing to do with you. It's personal, myself and I, we've got some straightening out to do. And I'm going to miss you like a child misses their blanket but I've got to get a move on with my life. It's time to be a big girl now..." Perfection. Kudos Fergie Ferg. I'm a young soul trying to find my place in the world. Time for exploration.
