...becoming who we are

here we are, out on our own now
not living in the future, not running from the past
we've counted up the days, counted down the minutes
we're counting on each other, yeah we're gonna make it last

i don't know where we'll go
but even if we stumble & fall, we're becoming who we are

this is just a start & it's gonna get harder
i don't want no other, there's no one quite like you are
with pennies in the jar & holes in our pockets
i might not have much, but i promise you the stars
our hearts toss and turn and we're so unsure
there's so much we can't see, there's so much we need to learn


i don't know where we'll go
but even if we stumble & fall, we're becoming who we are

i don't know where we'll go
but even if we stumble & fall, we're becoming who we are

sunshine & other bright things


sometimes i forget that i can choose to walk in the sunshine when the clouds of uncertainty alter my perspective ♥ ♥
 this morning, walking out to my car to go to work, i had the usual list of important tasks that must be completed running through my mind... as i felt the warm sun rays beat down onto my face, i looked up and smiled. at that perfect moment, my wonderful boyfriend exclaimed "It's a beautiful day today." suddenly, the to-do list vanished from my mind and i thought to myself, "you're right, that's what today is: beautiful." it was a perfect example to me of our daily & even momentary opportunities to CHOOSE happiness. there is absolutely no reason that we need to spend every waking moment full of worry or fear or stress... sometimes, we should just be.
