Read My Mind - lyrics

It's been too long since I last saw you here
I can't believe it's been three years
Here you are standing next to me

How you been. Whatcha doing now that life
Has been moving on
Me. I'm Okay. But seeing you now. I'm doing great.

And I love how you're living for you.
And I love how your dreams are coming true.

But secretly I wish that it was you and me.
It's been this long. You haven't left my mind at ease.
Why'd you always have to leave.
Why can't you just stay with me.

All I want's that heart of yours to see my own.
Begging you to make this one its final home.
You kiss my hand and say goodbye.
I wish that you could read my mind.

It's been too long since I last held you here.
I can't go on knowing what we had was love.
I let it disappear.

How's this work. How'd this happen to the ones
That were meant to be.
Yeah. I'm okay. But seeing you now. I'm about to break.

But I love how you're fighting it all.
And I love how you're not holding back at all.

x

Can we ever become what we were.
All I want is the chance to make it work.

Destined for Greatness

“To each there comes in their lifetime a special moment when they are figuratively tapped on the shoulder and offered the chance to do a very special thing, unique to them and fitted to their talents. What a tragedy if the moment finds them unprepared or unqualified for that which could have been their finest hour.” And that’s all the motivation I needed to tell myself I wouldn’t be caught unprepared any more and if I would fail again I would fail better. This post is short and sweet but celebrates some physical and mental milestones. It marks over 6 months of consistent, specific conditioning and the disciplined late nights and early mornings it took to get here. It celebrates 2 years of sobriety and the seemingly impossible work of overcoming darkness when you least expect it. It’s a reminder to me of why I changed so much in so little time and what I wouldn’t have been able to accomplish if I still relied on alcohol to get me through my days. And it’s okay to live a life others do...

Joy in a Rainstorm

The best moment of your life. Quick. Go. I've been asked that before. I've listened to other people's answers. It all depends on age really, how far you are in the typical timeline of life for the majority. Answers usually consist of things like; wedding day, birth of a child, moving out for the first time, a travelling experience. And while I see the joy in all those situations, from as far as I've come, one afternoon topped them all. I'm kind've a loner. Not because I don't want to be. I guess I was designed with a strong introvert personality. I like hanging out with friends, but my perfect day off would probably consist of taking myself out to lunch and a movie, then spending my evening on the couch with a rye and coke trying to up my Call of Duty rating. Yup, that's me. Anyway, that said, I had a wicked experience several years ago. I couldve been about 16. My mind doesn't really remember age or year particularly well. It wa...

Discipline Over Motivation

I wouldn’t say I was a stranger to the gym and I had always been an athletic person. I've played everything from hockey, to women's tackle football to competitive paintball. But a few things happened. Sports slowed down from every day to once a week and then only in winter. I hit 30, and my metabolism went from lagging to a stall. And that one extra hard call every month or so hit like a jackhammer. But I wasn't ready to slow down, and over the years I realized how much I lacked the upper body strength needed to perform like I should. Especially when those 12 hours of relentless, callous labour hit at 2am. I joined a local gym and was consistent for several months until a severe kidney infection hospitalized me in 2015. My blood pressure sky rocketed and my doctor advised forfeiting my current gym membership until things leveled off. It took over a year for my kidneys to chill out and to get off medication completely. Our hall was fortunate enough to start a small gym earl...
