I know I am rather sporadic with my entries in this blog, but please fear not! I will always continue to write or type whichever you prefer to define it as, so keep on checking in.. who ever is reading my blog out there. So I was making dinner last night and I decided to keep myself entertained by placing the iPad on the kitchen bench top and playing some of my top music choices by pressing shuffle. It shuffled to "Find Yourself" by Brad Paisley. "Find Yourself" was performed by American Country Singer Brad Paisley for the soundtrack to the movie " Cars " in 2006. Now I'm really not a fan of country music but I have to just say that this really is a fantastic tune and the lyrics are even better. Funnily enough , I am also not a fan of animations BUT "Cars" is one of the best I've seen. I absolutely loved it, the animation was great , the story line was clever , the characters were nothing less than pure entertainment. All in all I would highly recommend this movie which is a prerequisite for "Cars 2", which I believe comes out in Australia very soon and may already be released in other countries. I know I will be going to see it.
The lyrics are quite self explanatory however I can't fail to mention how much I relate to these. When you move countries it changes your life , it changes who you are . Making new friends, starting over, nothing seems familiar, it all is very hard. It all takes time but it's all a choice.
It can be so overwhelming you don't know where to start and you lose your way , everything seems mysterious. It can seem like someone purposefully hides all the answers away and you can't even peek. However that's when we have to be at our strongest, pick ourselves up and figure out what we can do to make our lives happier ,more meaningful and regardless of where we are hence "Cause sometimes when you lose your way, its really just as well
Because you find yourself, Yeah thats when you find yourself." So I've been lost for a while now and that's what pushed me to finally make the decision to go back to University to study psychology. Life is too short to do what we don't enjoy and I did that already for far too long. It doesn't hurt either when you are blessed to be with someone who supports your decisions and goals and backs you 100% . I am very blessed to have that person in my life. And so the following line makes sense : "you finally start to live for someone else, And then you find yourself,yeah that's when you find yourself"
Find Yourself
When you find yourself in some far off place
and it causes you to rethink some things
You start to sense that slowly you're becoming someone else
And then you find yourself...
When you make new friends in a brand new town
and you start to think about settling down
The things that would have been lost on you
are now clear as a bell
And you find yourself,
yeah that's when you find yourself
Well you go through life
so sure of where you're heading
And you wind up lost
and its the best thing that could have happened
Cause sometimes when you lose your way, its really just as well
because you find yourself,
yeah that's when you find yourself.
When you meet the one, that you've been waiting for
and she's everything, that you want and more
You look at her and you finally start to live for someone else
And then you find yourself,
yeah that's when you find yourself
We you go through life
so sure of where we're headed
And we wind up lost
and its the best thing that could have happened
Cause sometimes when you lose your way, its really just as well
Because you find yourself,
Yeah thats when you find yourself.
