Summing it Up Through Songs

As always I like to sum up the year, month by month.. however that post comes the first day of January. Look for it. 

Today, I will sum up the biggest part of my 2013 year through music lyrics of songs that I feel have touched me, inspired me, or reminded me. 

Enjoy.

I've come a long long way, made a lot of mistakes, but I'm breathing, breathing, That's right and I mean it mean it. This time I'm a little run down, I've been living out loud, I can beat it beat it, That's right cause I'm feeling, feeling, invincible. - Hedley- Invincible 

Each year we overcome the impossible. We believe in things, we love things, and we lose things. At the end of the year I take the time to go over the past years and remember all the times, even heartbreaking times. Each song fills my mind and heart with a lovely memory.
But just like with every year, some memories must end.
To my heartbreaking songs, I have one last lyric that sums me up.
"I never thought I could do it without you, but I'm here without, and I can live without you."

Here's to wonderful 2013, and an even better 2014!

Live the life you love,
Love the life you live!
