Day 4: A song that makes you sad.
Jason Mraz ft. James Morrison - Details in the Fabric
“If it’s a broken part, replace it; If it’s a broken arm, then brace it; If it’s a broken heart, then face it.”
Listening to this song used to bring me down a bit, but then in a weird way it kinda makes you feel hopeful. Hopeful that you can face the worst and still come out alright in the end.
A lot of the time, when we’re faced with difficult obstacles, we choose the easy way out- give up. Get out before you get hurt. Let someone else take the prize or the glory. Let someone else get hurt instead ‘cause there’s the possibility that you might in the long run. I remember that held back feeling; it sucked. But eventually, you start to learn that only one holding you back is yourself. You’re looking too much at the expectations everyone else throws at you. Once you give up on those high standards, you start to notice that in all honestly, you’re happiest with what you’ve made yourself today. “Hold your own; know your name; and go your own way.”
