At first I thought, "I don't feel like blogging today. Do I have to? I suppose I do..." But then I saw the topic for today, and I'm pretty excited about this one. There are two songs that jumped into my head immediately when I first considered this day of the challenge. The first is "Unwritten" by Natasha Bedingfield. I haven't heard it in a really long time, but I used to think of it as "my song" because I felt a connection to it as a writer. I know the writing theme is supposed to be a metaphor for life, but I like to take it literally too. Maybe that's partially because, as a Christian, I don't necessarily belief my life itself is completely "unwritten." But it's great to think that, when it comes to writing, I have so much ahead of me to look forward to. I have so much potential, and since I haven't even begun a career, all of my writing is so far unwritten. But maybe today is where my book begins.
The second song is "Unwell" by Matchbox 20. I guess the theme for today is "un-." Anyway, I'm not trying to say I lie in bed making friends with shadows on my wall (odd). I don't hear voices either. But I definitely do talk to myself in public, and I can relate to dodging glances even if I don't ride the train. The way people look at you sometimes when they realize you're talking to yourself...I feel a bit like Raskolnikov from Crime and Punishment. There are some times when I want to tell people, "I'm not crazy," but there are other times when I scare even myself and I wonder when they'll discover me and take me away. But I'm not crazy. Just a little unwell, right?
Enjoy the acoustic version of this one, guys. It's different, I think in a good way.
I agree, with both songs! I was hoping you would have "Unwritten" in there somewhere!
