This is YOUR life

So, you ever get to the point in your life where you just want to press pause? You know, that moment when all of a sudden you start thinking to yourself, Wait! How did that happen?  I can't believe I said THAT! What do I do now? If you are anything like me then this tends to happen oh I don't know... every few weeks! Sometimes though it is other things besides contemplation that puts me in this mood. Tonight it happened when my sister Mel made me watch a presentation of hers for school and listen to the song that she had picked out to go along with it. The Title of the song is This is Your Life by Switchfoot. And it got my thinking. I'm going to show you the lyrics so you can see what i mean...

Yesterday is a wrinkle on your forehead
Yesterday is a promise that you’ve broken
Don’t close your eyes, don’t close your eyes
This is your life and today is all you’ve got now
Yeah, and today is all you’ll ever have
Don’t close your eyes
Don’t close your eyes

This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, is it everything you dreamed that it would be
When the world was younger and you had everything to lose

Yesterday is a kid in the corner
Yesterday is dead and over

This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, is it everything you dreamed that it would be
When the world was younger and you had everything to lose

Don’t close your eyes
Don’t close your eyes
Don’t close your eyes

Don’t close your eyes

This is your life are you who you want to be
This is your life are you who you want to be

This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, is it everything you dreamed it would be
When the world was younger and you had everything to lose

And you had everything to lose 

Do you see what I mean? I mean WOW! Isn't that like a punch in the gut? Am I who i want to be? No. Is this the life I dreamed of? NO! I want to have a job that challenges me, a car that is mine and actually works, and a man that thinks I'm his soul mate. The aftermath of this song can be a bit bitter but its also a kick in the pants to push us to accomplish our dreams. I'm working on the job and the car ( Wish me luck!) now all i need is a man.... LOL ( wish me A LOT of luck! )

Ciao!
