When you finally realize the love you felt for someone is gone...its like a cloud has gone away. it's left from being directly overhead. but now, you can't go back. that in its self is a cloud. you just gotta remember there is a sun waiting for you that will come with morning. for now, you're caught in a refreshing rain that will replenish your soul. a rain that will allow you to find the positives. a rain that will allow you to find the happiness in your soul. so you, yes you, can love again when the sun comes out. :)
It all started this last November...my pursuit of happiness that is. Before November I had been living with several shadows over my head, a very bad ongoing break up with a boyfriend, the stress of junior year of high school, issues with friends, constant arguments with parents. I just wasn't a happy camper. I didn't think I was ever going to be a happy camper. I thought " this is how my life is, there is no changing it, this is as happy as happy gets." It breaks my heart thinking back now that i believed that was as happy as i could get. I cried myself to sleep most nights, I listened to depressing music, I stayed home almost always, i didn't talk to many people. I just cried and was always sad. Towards the end of the month I got together with my friends who I met the previous July at Presbyterian Youth Triennium. Sure, we had seen each other 3 or 4 times since then so i was looking forward to it. But i didn't think anything of it really. The day came for our thanksgiving party and we all got together. We spent the whole day together. Cooking pizza, dancing like fools, having a laugh over being allergic to tomatoes and sharing music we love with each other. My friend James played the song "The Dog Days are Over" by Florence & the Machines. It was this song that made me get happy, it cheered me up. I was in the presence of incredible people and i could finally hear what else was out there for me. Here are the lyrics and a link to the song!

Happiness hit her like a train on a track Coming towards her stuck still no turning back She hid around corners and she hid under beds She killed it with kisses and from it she fled With every bubble she sank with her drink And washed it away down the kitchen sink The dog days are over The dog days are done The horses are coming So you better run Run fast for your mother, run fast for your father Run for your children, for your sisters and brothers Leave all your love and your longing behind You can't carry it with you if you want to survive The dog days are over The dog days are done Can you hear the horses? 'Cause here they come And I never wanted anything from you Except everything you had and what was left after that too, oh Happiness hit her like a bullet in the back Struck from a great height by someone who should know better than that The dog days are over The dog days are done Can you hear the horses? 'Cause here they come Run fast for your mother, run fast for your father Run for your children, for your sisters and brothers Leave all your love and your longing behind You can't carry it with you if you want to survive The dog days are over The dog days are done Can you hear the horses? 'Cause here they come The dog days are over The dog days are done The horses are coming So you better run
