I'm not on TikTok, I don't trust that the CCP is using our data for anything benevolent 馃槄 but every now and then I hear about trends that are occurring. I dunno how long this song has been making a comeback, but Christ, I have not heard this song in years!
(Me at Jordin Sparks, probably) ((Source: https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/9072cc5a-faec-4da2-9f52-4ae2235b63c9/gif))
Because speaking of! -- the year is 2007. Jordin Sparks has been declared the sixth winner of American Idol and released this banger of a song. You're about to go to school to discuss the news with all of your seventh grade friends. All is right with the world...
It's amazing, the power that music can hold. I heard this song for the first time in over a decade and suddenly I was in my bedroom, getting ready to go to the movies with friends, shyly experimenting with makeup and secretly wondering if my crush was thinking about me. I felt emotions that I have not experienced since my youth; feelings of excitement and wonder. All because I listened to a song that I have not heard since I was 12!
It's a bit ironic that this song should reappear right after I discovered the hidden power of vibrational frequencies. Y'know, the Law of Attraction, all that good stuff! 馃憣 I've been fighting upstream for years, as opposed to just going with the flow, allowing things to happen in their own time. This song appeared during one of the most pivotal moments of my life: preparing our RV to become our family home. Needless to say, this is not something that should be rushed! 馃槵
It is the simplest advice, but it is one that holds immense knowledge -- it would not be an adage if this was not the case! 馃槃 We cannot rush what is meant to come, and there is no point in amplifying the situation with worry and frustration. When we want something to happen so badly, we just want it to happen now!; it becomes all that we focus on.
But like the title states: one step at a time! Because life always goes that way; we can never see the forest through the trees. Sometimes we are not able to see the bigger picture, we cannot make sense of things until we make it out onto the other side.
I just want to say, this part right here?? absolute banger yaaaasss get it get it!~

Again, some of the most solid life advice a person can give. There will be moments when you feel utterly defeated, everything seems too dark, you don't know if you can keep going... Most of all, you struggle with the notion that it may not even be worth it. During moments of complete confusion and uncertainty, sometimes all you can do is have faith. You do not know what the outcome will be; have faith anyway.
