Garden State Soundtrack

Going through my cousin's CDs I came across this Garden State soundtrack CD and totally fell in love with it-- never heard of the movie but the songs really somehow relate to everyday life.  Seems like every bad day I have that CD has some song to help me through or even to just think about life.  Like for instance to live again you have to just let go.  So many people say things like "never let go" or "you never let go"... well in some cases yeah maybe, like the married people they should never let their love go but as a seventeen year old girl I have lots of things I'm learning I need to just let go.  Another thing I hate is when people say to live without regrets because hell I regret sooo much and I've learned that it's made me a better person, and to regretting it I'll never let myself do it again.  Then thinking about what I could of been... topic that we tend to think about but we generally don't like too.  Like I could of been a lot less lost if I would of held onto my religion more and not let the world today encourage me to do awful things that I'm sure my grandpa would turn over in his grave if he knew.  Yet mistakes only make us better people right?  I'm also sure all of us have been waiting and searching for a lover or soul mate whenever you want to call it.  I love the song "Fair" by Remy Zero.  It starts out by saying, "Hey are you lonely?" a lot of people seem to be screaming it inside and just want someone so bad.  We have all been there-- jealous of all the people who have someone in there arms and someone to share their life with.  I have gone through all my teens years just wanting any guy who wanted me or wanted... yeah.  Finally learning that I don't need that right now in my life and I am going to do whatever it takes to break myself from this evil path.  Learning to be confident, learning to love me, myself, and I, becoming the real Elaine.  I will follow whatever journey I must to make it through life without just being another lost soul.  My goal is to every week find inspiration for life and living and being happy and posting these inspirations on living life again and being happy as can be.
