She said I think I'll go to Boston...
I think I'll start a new life,
I think I'll start it over, where no one knows my name
Oh to have the freedom to be able to just jump on a plane and go somewhere else. Just to start off somewhere different, like a new start. There's so much out there, and yet we spend most of our lives in the same place.
But that one place is home. It's where we grow up, feel comfortable, and have our loved ones around us. If we pick up and leave all of that, then what do we have? Freedom, yes, but we've also got to start from scratch. We're completely alone in a brand new place- that seems pretty scary to me.
I'd love to travel, I think it'd be amazing to see some of this massive world that we live in, but I want to know that I've always got somewhere to return to that I can call home.
Where I'd go
- Paris
- Australia
- Texas
- Japan
London
But my home will always be where I grew up, and where people know me. Regardless of their opinion on me, and the fact that I could go somewhere & start ALL over again, I want to be in that place where I'm comfortable, and where I know the score.
And if you want to change- then change! (hopefully for the better though). Don't worry about people saying that you're being something you're not; chances are, if you're wanting to change it's because you've been being something you're not for a very long time- and where's the fun in that? Again, it's your life, so be who you want to be. Don't waste it being something you're not, just to keep those around you happy. Mix things up a bit.
It's time for a change, It's time for a move,
And I know that it's frightening but it's also exciting
I'm taking a risk that I know is worth fighting
Its better
To make your mistakes than to live with out knowing
Its better to fall on your face then to stay on your feet
Ahh, Greg Holden- I am rather fond of you. Beautiful voice and beautiful lyrics. This one, The Art of Falling, definitely has to be one of my favourites though.
Change is a pretty scary thing, and it's constant. It's absolutely everywhere and we have no control over it. I don't know about you, but it terrifies me. But so many good things come out of it in the longrun. The decisions we make are scary biccies, and we never know exactly what the outcome's going to be; but we can always find a positive somewhere.
I'm also a firm believer in taking risks. You gotta be in it to win it, as those cheesey presenters say on those stupid gameshows at about 3am. But it's another cheesey one that can be applied to everyday life. It's better to take the risk and make the mistakes and face the consequences than to live out the rest of your life wondering "What if?"
I don't want to be one of those people who lives their whole life by the book. Is there even a book? Because if there is, I didn't get my copy. An instruction manual would go a long way, actually. But there's this general idea of how life should be. You're born, you grow up, you go to school, you do exams, you go to work, you have a family, you grow old and die. And somewhere in the middle of that, you have to make sure you don't get into any trouble. But why!? Why not have a little fun? (I'm not talking about extremes here- don't wanna wind up in prison). But enjoy yourself. Make mistakes & learn from them. They prepare us for later life, or so I've heard.
