"I don't wanna be afraid ; I wanna wake up feeling beautiful today"

The title of this post comes from a song by Demi Lovato called Believe in Me and I suppose it has something to do with the last blog post. When I first heard this song, I instantly fell in love with it because it's a song that I felt (and still feel) resembles me. Here are the lyrics:

I'm losing myself
Trying to compete
With everyone else
Instead of just being me 

Don't know where to turn
I've been stuck in this routine
I need to change my ways
Instead of always being weak


I don't want to be afraid
I wanna wake up 
Feeling beautiful today
And know that I'm okay
Cause everyone's perfect in unusual ways
So see, 
I just wanna believe in me
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la  


The mirror can lie
Doesn't show you what's inside
And it can tell you
You're full of lies
It's amazing what you can hide, 
Just by putting on a smile

I don't want to be afraid

I wanna wake up 

Feeling beautiful today

And know that I'm okay

Cause everyone's perfect in unusual ways

So see, 

I just wanna believe in me

I'm quickly finding out,

I'm not about to break down

Not today

I guess I always knew 

That I had all the strength 

To make it through

I'm not gonna be afraid

I'm gonna wake up 

Feeling beautiful today

And know that I'm okay

Cause everyone's perfect in unusual ways

So see

Now I believe in me

Now I believe in me

This song is beautiful, in more ways than one. This song is a song that gives you that push to believe in yourself.  I like to put songs on repeat (sometimes they're on repeat for 4 plays, or for hours, days... and I think about what the meaning is and how I relate to the song.

Something I want to say.... and you're going to hear it a  lot for the next 81 days... I cannot WAIT to see Aaron Pritchett in concert, I'm SO excited. He's a really nice guy, and I'm glad him and I have gotten the chance to talk on Twitter. I really enjoy it!

Better get to bed, Exams start tomorrow!
