Day 29 - A song from your childhood
↳ Quit Playing Games (With My Heart) by Backstreet Boys
Yep I’m a total 90s kid…10 years later I still know all the lyrics to any given BSB song without even thinking about it lol
Old school music is the best

Went to my friends wedding today…. very lovely and made me think as always. Of course a wedding is about the deepest eternal love and a life long commitment. Of course (at least for me and for my friend today) it is imbued with religion, deeply felt family and personal values, and a new avenue of one’s spiritual and life-long path. But it also feels like a very important aspect of being a girl…especially that moment when you are walking down the aisle towards the alter. Strangely, (maybe its just because of where I am psychologically at this point in life) for me the most poignant moment is when a bride walks down the aisle toward her groom, before the actual ceremony begins. In that moment, I imagine I will see all of my past crystalized, seeing how everything - every thought, feeling, misery, and triumph - have led up to this point. In that moment, for me, the world and time would stand still. You are walking with your father and/or mother - one of your guides since you came into this world, as they lead you towards your future…and you then begin anew for the first time since you were born. For me, I might feel like I finally have recompense for the miseries of life (for example my childhood) - that is not to say I’m so arrogant as to feel I deserve to have life/fate make up for my past issues - but I will be at peace. One might say though, that I should not base my personal feelings of peace on a wedding - indeed I know that is missing the point of a wedding, which should be focused on the love I have for my husband. But I still feel like a wedding is truly an important spiritual and mental rite of passage for a girl such as myself, and for some reason I feel this especially when I see a bride (my friends) come down the aisle. Maybe that is the greatest thing about weddings: that it is both a moment of incredible personal joy for one’s own ability to finally find happiness (hey we all want to happy, lets be honest lol) and the moment of a wonderful validation of one’s deep and abiding love for their husband. I really love weddings and going to them, but for a single person like myself, maybe they make me think too much hahaha….
Oh me and my rambling, over-active brain….

I don’t care if it hurts
I want to have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul…
I think we can all relate to this song in some way or another…even if it is an all too honest downer

Don’t dwell on what went wrong. Instead, focus on what to do next. Spend your energies on moving forward toward finding the answer.
