Childhood living is easy to do The things you wanted I bought them for you

Artist- The Sundays
Song of the day- Wild Horses
So you may have noticed I haven't posted in a while. Sorry for the lack of songs in your life, I just have been quite busy with surviving school and quite honestly haven't been inspired to write about anything as it feels a bit lately like I"ve just been going through the motions. Which then reminded me of this song I like from my favorite tv show of all time. Which I hadn't thought about in a while till my sister sent me a link reminding me it is my favorite fictional character's birthday. Now to back up even further, my friend Kate used to tease me about this claddagh ring I always wear and the relationship revelations it symbolized. And I told her it wasn't the reason I wore the ring and that I would never disclose the actual reason for it was far too embarrassing. However, perhaps it's because I've stopped caring about things, or that I think my large amount of nerdiness should surprise no one at this point, or that it is a special fictional day I thought I'd share the reason.

I wish my favorite fictional character was someone cool and classy like Holden Caufield or Anna Karenina but I still argue is slightly less lame than having an Edward Cullen or Gossip Girl as a hero. My fictional hero, kicked ass, saved lives and looked hot doing it. But more importantly it's where I learned being weird or nerdy could be cool and dry wit can save you in any situation. My personality came from that show, I fell in love with stories because of that show, I became a writer cuz of that show, my belief in helping people came from that show. And when I felt like a dorky loser throughout my teenage years, I felt normal for at least 45min every week thanks to this gang of misfits. Anyway, my hero used to wear this silly ring on her finger from her undead boyfriend that when I was 15 years old I had to have. And found that I never really took it off cuz when I would feel dorky or unhelpful I'd look down at it and remember all the things I could be and all the places I've been because some fictional character showed me the way. So here's to you Buffy Summers on your 30th birthday and the cheezy ass song you danced with your vampire boyfriend with at prom. I will still love it more than any Rolling Stones song. Thanks for existing, at least in the fictional world.



and just for good measure or anyone else going through the motions, this one's for you. yes I'm a nerd, this i have accepted.





Childhood living is easy to do
The things you wanted I bought them for you
Graceless lady, you know who I am,
You know I can't let you slide through my hands

Wild Horses,
Couldn't drag me away,
Wild, wild horses,
Couldn't drag me away...

I watched you suffer a dull, aching pain
Now you decided to show me the same
No sweeping exits or offstage lines,
Can make me feel bitter or treat you unkind

Wild Horses,
Couldn't drag me away,Wild, wild horses,
Couldn't drag me away...

I know I dreamed you a sin and a lie,
I have my freedom but I don't have much time
Faith has been broken tears must be cried,
Let's do some living after we die

Wild Horses,
Couldn't drag me away,
Wild, wild horses,
We'll ride them someday

Wild Horses,
Couldn't drag me away,
Wild, wild horses,
We'll ride them someday
