Day 06 – Your favorite song from Make Yourself.
This album overall is a fantastic and as I've become reacquainted with it I've realized it was difficult choosing between: Nowhere Fast, Drive, and Make Yourself. However I realized that there's a common theme within the ones I chose above.
Nowhere Fast: "Will I ever get to, to where it is that I'm going. Will I ever follow through with what I have planned? I guess it's possible that I have been a bit distracted and the directions for me are a lot less in demand, in demand."
A lot of times I feel like what's expressed above. Time is moving by so fast and I think I'm going in the right direction but then other times I feel completely confused and lost. As a high school student I have many aspirations that can lead me in different directions and I don't know if I'll ever get there. Or if I do, will I know when I'm there?
Drive: "Sometimes, I feel the fear of uncertainty sting clear and I can't help but ask myself how much I'll let the fear take the wheel and steer. It's driven me before and it seems to be the way that everyone else gets around. But lately I'm beginning to find that when I drive myself my light is found."
Again, as a vulnerable student aspiring in life I can't help but let my fear take over and refrain myself from taking certain actions. As my own worst critic I put myself down and restrict myself from experiencing something new. I never listened to the lyrics to this song until recently, I always liked the acoustics of it. However as of late, I've been forcing myself to try out new things and even though I'm terrified throughout the whole process, I realize that in the end it's such a satisfying feeling because my light is found.
Make Yourself: "If I hadn't made me, I would've been made somehow. If I hadn't assembled myself, I'd have fallen apart by now... but if you really want to live, why not try and make yourself?"
Musically this track doesn't do it for me, and I'm not too keen on Boyd's vocals here. However I do love the message it's depicting. I'm all for being oneself and standing up for one's right and just being a firm believer in yourself and not succumbing to the masses. This song clearly sums up the positives and importance of making yourself.
These are only some of my current favorites on this album, and it's difficult choosing simply one. I feel like these three tracks give a snapshot of where I am currently in my life. Who knows, maybe twenty years from now I'll have different favorites of this album.

As for life, I don't feel too content with writing out what's going on in my life right now. Only thing that's major is that I got my four wisdom teeth pulled out this past Saturday. My face looked like a freakin' brick! Horrible.
