Someone Like You...

Music is such a gift from God. It has a way to move, empower, and motivate someone out of the darkest places in their lives. In my life there have been certain artists who have been able to catch the exact feelings I didn't have the strength to put into words, but by listening to their music I was able not to feel so alone. Knowing that someone had made it through the same thing, just in a different time and place always encouraged me to stay strong. I am the daughter of Eve, a being who could easily fall into an emotional pit when my heart is broken. An emotional pit of who...what...whys....but I refuse to. I let my music do that for me. A song can take me back to a place in time, but after that 3 minute song is over I'm over it until the next time I listen. Some might think it's weird but it's very therapeutic for me. The album I have on constant repeat right now is Adele. Her new album was written in response to her boyfriend breaking up with her and it's now number 1 all over the world. I love that. I love that she took something so painful and that continues to be painful for her and turned it into an anthem of the once broken hearted. The song below starts as a sad I miss you love song, but the chorus shouts out 'Nevermind...I'll find someone like you..'. Love whether good or bad can have many side effects that will affect who we are, but smart people like Adele and hopefully myself understand that we're always the better for it. Wisdom comes from learning from your mistakes, others mistakes, and applying that to your life. Adele learned not all men that say I love you mean what they say, but I learned someday the one I'll need will...
