rise and shine
12:33 AM | Author: madcakeshandy
Ever since my summer adventure, I feel like I have really turned a new leaf...

I must say, I am pretty damn happy about life. Town Hall business is going quite well. School isn't torture, and I think my grades will be just fine for the semester. I'm really making the most of my senior year because I know this is really my last chance to live it up in college. Of course there are certain things clouding my thoughts at time, but I'm just rolling with the punches. I'm finally taking my own advice and putting the past where it belongs: in the past. I've learned enough from certain experiences in the past, and I can't replace them. Still, I'm done with dwelling on the low times in my life.

Old pale memories of someone you knew
Keep crawling through the back of your mind
Still in time
And in the daylight you're crossing all your wires
You just never knew how to put out a fire
And the closet's been shaken with bones
Little reminders that you're out on your own

Today, today, is gonna be a better one
There's nothing more to take in
Going wrong

Everyone has their own emotional baggage, and I mean everyone. Of course, there are some things you just can't ever completely forget. It's almost humorous how jaded you can become from a situation, and your whole perspective can become altered. Sometimes, you don't even have to be directly involved, and you can feel the effects.

with mirrored hallways
done with creepy laughter ride the carousel
here comes the wrecking ball
so my town can live
sell the carousel

in the carousel's last days
the strangers came and tried to save
they strive to save a history
thats not their own

but i remember
the thrill of it fantastic ride the carousel
here comes the wrecking ball
so my town can live
sell the carousel

A wrecking ball could be having your heart crushed, dealing with negativity, or just some experience that alters your view. Sometimes, there is just no returning back to the way things used to look. Maybe you can get that old feeling back, but most of the time you just have to move on and not live in the past.

And hell, I have so many things to look forward to in the coming weeks. Holla!
