So I have truly been expanding my music selection the last couple of months since I have not been on here. This has been specifically geared towards country music and one song has really touched home for me.
Sugarland's "Little Miss" has just really made me think about my life especially in this verse:
Little Miss do your best,
Little Miss never rest,
Little Miss, be my guest, I'll make more anytime that it runs out
Little Miss you'll go far,
Little Miss hide your scars,
Little Miss who you are is so much more than you like to talk about
The part that really gets me is the "hide your scars." I guess it means so much since I used to hurt myself a lot if I didn't do my best or I messed up. That means I have ended up with a lot of scars on my body. Typically I don't like to talk about my feelings and it's difficult for me to open up to people. At certain points I can totally open up, but it takes quite a while before I will completely open up.
But the part I really enjoy is this:
I'm okay, It'll be alright again, I'm okay (okay) It'll be alright again, I'm okay
Hold on, hold on, you are loved, are loved
Little Miss brand new start,
Little Miss do your part,
Little Miss big ole heart beats wide open, she's ready now for love
Saying that I'm okay is a truthful statement for me, because I was not who I was when I was younger. I am a lot happier and I am loved and I know that it's true.
Since I have finished my first year at the university and will be visiting friends from my old college in the next week, I realized that I have really had a huge brand new start. I feel as if I am not the same person as I was last year. Which I guess is a good thing since a person needs to constantly grow.
But the thing I guess that comes to my mind the most from my entire experience is that I have come to a lot of realizations and to actually admit that I'm okay; that I'm happy with life; that I am actually growing with God in a completely different way; that I may actually be ready for love but still guarding my heart. That last part scares me a bit, but I'm willing to let God take that part of my life and let him be in control.
So I guess I should finish this with the "Little Miss." Hope you enjoy the song as much as I do.
