Ani DiFranco

I thought I would compile some lyrics of Ani's that seem to apply to my current situation. Her music is so powerful and I wanted to share some of her words with you. You gotta hear her music if you havent, it rocks.

"I search your profile, for a translation,
I study the conversation like a map,
Cause I know there is strength in the differences between us,
I know there is comfort where we overlap,
Each one of us wants a piece of the action,
You can hear it in what we say,
You can see it in what we do,
We negotiate with chaos for some sense of saitisfaction...
I build each one of my [blogs] out of glass,
So can see me inside them, I suppose,
Or you could just leave the image of me in the background,
and watch your own reflection superimpose,
I build each one of my days out of hope,
And I give that hope your name,
I don't know you that well but it don't take much to tell,
Either you don't have the balls or you don't feel the same,
Who are you now?
Who were you then,
That you thought somehow you could just pretend,
That you could figure it all out,
How many times undone can one person be,
You just close your eyes slowly like you're waiting for a kiss,
And hope some lowly little power will pull you out of this,
To all the people out there tonight who are comforting themselves,
If you should happen to see my light,
You can stop and ring my bell,
I'm just sitting here,
Taking one breath at a time...."

Today is another day, I'm doing ok, hangin in there for sure. I try to keep my days busy so I don't go crazy. Well, I love you all for your responses, you all help me so much- thank you. I hope everyone gets through today and can relax tonight. Take care!
