Gone

Well, it's been a year since my heart was broken and sad and all that, and for whatever reason I feel a need to commemorate the passage of time, but rather than write a long post oversharing to the internet about how I've felt and thought and things and whatever, I thought I'd express myself through music and stuff instead. So here, without further ado, is the last year in song:

Overall theme:
Gone.

July 6th, 2012
The Jaws theme. Because I know it's coming. Baaah-dup.

July-present
Well, I don't know what's going on but I have to trust God's plan.

Why don't I own this version yet??

This is one of my favorite songs. But dude cannot. sit. still. I don't even know why he has a piano bench.

The "wait, what? how did this turn into this? well, I did my best." phase:

The pianoness in the middle of this is just killer.

Then the sadness stage of grieving:

But isn't this song baller? I love it. I love them trying to outdo each other on the piano.

I was at a concert once and all the guy next to me wanted to hear was this song. He let everyone know about every three minutes as he shouted out his request. They never played it.

Adding to my to-do list today: 1. Lay on a mattress in the middle of a sidewalk. 2. Walk backwards everywhere. 3. Drive backwards everywhere.

The really really angry stage of grieving:

Also this video just makes me laugh a little.

Angry piano!!!!

The "woo I'm free and my friends are awesome and I missed them!" phase:

Who knew that Miley had a cover of this song??

The "aw shoot it's football season and I need to hang out with someone who loves Baylor sports as much as I do" phase, extending from football/marching season through basketball season, and basically into the rest of my life because it's pretty much a necessity:

It doesn't matter who I end up marrying or even if they know this song exists, this is going to be the last dance at the wedding. Because tradition. Duh.

The "I know what I want and this is it" phase:

This video is both kinda cool and kinda creepy. Also, why are they riding horses down the street?

Um hello. Sweetest song ever. Unless that title belongs to the next one:

Right? 

Dat hair.

And of course:

The "I'm going to enjoy my life and keep going, even if I get a little nostalgic sometimes or angry sometimes, working on being awesome and when I meet someone, that'll be cool, in the meantime I think I'm gonna hang with my cat and do nifty things and be awesome and hang with my friends" phase, which is now:

There's not really a song that expresses all that. But I like this one.

So calm-y.

So that's been my year. It had rough spots, like there was about a month when I couldn't really eat anything or couldn't sleep much. But it's also been good, because I've gotten to rely on God more and my friends more and really appreciate the relationships I have, which I don't want to take for granted. And I got a cat. And it turns out anger and sadness and moving on-ness and just being myself-ness and having extra time are all really great motivators for working out, too, so win-win. I don't know what's going to happen in my life, but I do know the next year will be better. So that's good, and I'm ready for that to start.

See ya, last 365. You're gone.
