(8) You know you should take it a day at a tim

Today I faced my fears.

This post will seem inconsequential to some. So you can stop reading right now and live your life just as nonchalantly as before, no harm done. :)

But for those of you who are relentless, I will explain myself.

Basically today was supposed to go to pot. But it didn't.
I woke up late and missed class so I stayed home to work on my project. I was in sweats and a tshirt. The words "get ready" never even crossed my mind.
These last 3 days have been super tough. I couldn't get back into the swing of things after Spring Break. Also, I was semi-lonely. I started getting all anxious, so I was planning on going home as soon as I could get done with class.
Anyway, I finally decided to go outside and get some fresh air. Also, I needed to go up to campus so I could go to piano and sing a song for my roommate.

Little did I know sitting in a dark room that outside was sunny and fresh and alive!
As soon as the sun hit my pale face, I smiled.
I went, I sang, I piano'd.
Then, magically I felt cured.
I changed my mind about driving home and running away from my fears because my anxiety and loneliness had disintegrated, emancipating me from it's dark clutches.
I felt wonderfully alive, as bright and cheery as the spring day outside.

I blame it on the music I took part in. :)

But then my day got EVEN better.
I helped a friend get more oil and instructed on how to properly put inside the oil tank.
Then said friend and I played guitar outside and sang and I revived my dream of becoming a rock star. We also ate quesadillas which, are delicioso.

This day is now at a close and I feel so rejuvenated. It's incredible.
I think I'll make it through this weekend.

I owe it to my guitar sensei. Thanks a million bar chords.

Music fixes everything. Bar chords are a beast, but you could definitely conquer them. Atta girl. The weather really does affect our moods, so I'm glad it helped you out! :) Ha, thanks for saying you liked my poem. It had been building up inside of me for a while. We still need to play guitars sometime soon, AKA, whenever you and I are both home at the same time...so as soon as that occurs, it's jam time. Love you, miss you, all that good stuff. Have a good one! :)
