On a clear day
I can see
See a very long way.

I finally know the people I love here love me back.


But now I have to stop hiding my real self from them.

"Article of Faith" by Minus Ted
10/19/2008 03:00 a.m.
When you cannot find the twinkle of your lucky star
And the constellations won't reveal your place
When your compass is wavering
And you don't know who you are
Believing is an article of faith.

When you know that change is coming and it's finally time
And desperation guides the chances that you take
When you've used up all your choices
And you are shooting blind
Tomorrow is an article of faith.

Get back to your cloud tops
You angels of woe.
I know you'd like to fly me
To a darker place.
If angels see everything
You should already know
I'm just one breath ahead of you today.

Like accidental children careening off of walls
Disappointment leaves the spirit in a heap.
Everybody climbs the mountain and everybody falls
But you decide the sacraments you keep.

So get back to your cloud tops
You angels of woe.
I know you'd like to fly me
To a darker place.
If angels see everything
You should already know
I'm just one breath ahead of you today.

When you cannot find the twinkle of your lucky star
And the constellations won't reveal your place
When your compass is wavering
And you don't know who you are
Believing is an article of faith.
Believing is an article of faith.
Believing is an article of faith.

This song sounds religious, but really I see it as being about faith in self, not in God.

I don't exactly love Snow Patrol, but for some reason "Open Your Eyes" gives me goosebumps whenever I hear it. And now they're using it in the "Stop-Loss" previews, which I really want to see...

I'm really glad to be back at school, despite the apprehension in my poem.


Apprehension, ha, that was an understatement.

I'm bored.

And concerned.

And wishing my best friend didn't live so far away.

Sometimes you can weave together the richest, most beautiful words, and still feel so hollow.

It's not that I don't know how to feel...

...I just don't want to feel how I do.

Dear You,

Sometimes, as silly as it sounds, I forget to live my life. I fall into the comforts of routine, and I shield myself with the ordinary. I ignore the spontaneous things life has to offer, for fear of making some life-altering mistake, or being WRONG. Is there really anyone other than me, putting these completely unreasonable constraints on myself that include always having to be right and rational and calculated? I love it here, but I don't want this all to be planned and calculated.

So thank you, for reminding me that I can take risks and be wrong and be adventurous. For dragging me out at midnight to do absolutely nothing productive- or absolutely nothing at all. Thank you for helping me find my confidence, by laughing at every dumb joke, and for keeping me grounded. Thank you for showing me that I can let the rain hit my forehead without freezing, and that jackets are optional if it's above 40 degrees. Thanks for splashing through puddles, and pushing me into the mud.

And pulling me out again.
