Viva la Vida

Live the Life

Do you guys remember that song, Viva la Vida? Coldplay? I was reunited with it during a random Pandora hit recently... and I was flooded with a piece of my life I had completely forgotten about. 

SideNote: I am very loyal to my portion of the responsibility in constructing the perfect Pandora playlist. I thumb up and thumb down regularly, expressing my preferences, sometimes it challenges me with a few live jams that are... decent... and I choose accordingly. 

It's like it has gotten to know me so well, that it now has the ability to dip into memories I forgot I had.

It's really fascinating how music can do that--take you back to a time that had a legitimate impact on you... that you have since then forgotten.

I'm in the business of emotion... of bliss... of unforgettable moments... and still, I surprise myself sometimes with how in touch I am with past... and... I CRY. 

I can't believe the life that I have lived thus far.
-The people I have met 
-The things I've savored in cuisine
-The places I've traveled
-The things I've experienced 
-The values I've learned
-The mistakes... that proved I was TRYING
-The heart-stopping, challenging losses
-The tears of happy and the tears of sorrow
-The royalties of friends and family
-The struggle with faith

I can't believe it. I cannot believe how much I have changed... how many pieces there are to my puzzle... it's... I'm...

SPEECHLESS.
