The People That You Know

I actually started writing this a few days ago, and I hope you understand that I'm going to be emotional for the next few days, as I'm moving on Friday. FRIDAY. Anyway, this post is about a song, and what's in my heart. ----------

I'm crying in my kitchen right now. I was mid-sip of coffee, my teeth feeling like sweaters because I've had so many cups today, and then, I'm choking up because of this song.

It hits me hard, especially at this point in my life. I don't have any lies to run from, but I think I am running to something. Home. Comfort. Familiarity. The people I know. All of the above.

Disappear from your home town, Go and find the people that you know. Show them all of your good parts. Leave town when the bad ones start to show.

Life gets too crazy sometimes, and I've learned the hard way that it's a lot harder when you're away from the people you know the best, and who know you the best. The happy/scary/funny/disheartening bits of life happen everywhere, not just where you're running from at the moment.

The weight of lies will bring you down, And follow you to every town 'cause Nothing happens here that doesn't happen there. So, when you run make sure you run To something and not away from 'cause Lies don't need an aeroplane to chase you anywhere.

A sweet friend from work told me that she admired that I know who I am and what's important to me. It made me think, and I suppose that's true. It doesn't always feel true or like I know what the hell is going on, but it was good to hear. I'm moving home, getting back to my people and keeping in touch with my amazing friends here, and to me, that makes me feel good about my life these days.

Things are crazy, but I'm excited about the crazy.
