(Jose Gonzalez – Stay Alive)
I hope I’m now spamming by writing so much tonight…but you can always unfollow me. I’m going to be writing a lot more over the next few weeks. Sorry it’s not nonsense memes (I love memes…no hate meant at all. That’s not me though).
I’ve loved this song since I first heard it ten years ago and I’ve always been the one to romanticize EVERYTHING I do and although I can’t change who I am, like the song says “the way I feel is how I write”, and I know it’s not always healthy to romanticize everything.
But this song now has a personal feeling for me…although written for a lover, “Stay Alive” is about love for myself now. I’ve never been comfortable with feeling enough and being alone with myself…and this song represents how I feel now; I’ll wait for you all night, dawn is coming, and we’ll do whatever to stay alive is, now a personal statement to myself.
The love I have now…I’ll eventually feel that with the right person (not right now), because it feels good to know I love myself enough to enjoy the sunrise alone…when I know it’d feel better with someone else. It’s a feeling that has no words and a feeling that many will never feel. I wish everyone reading this will find that feeling. It’s a start with a scary journey…to a happy ending. But the journey is worth it. Take care.
