Fellow Fools!
(I act like I have an audience when really maybe like 3 people will read these posts haha).
It's been an interesting last month in terms of how incredibly monotonous and routine life can become but today I had a song pop up on my phone as I was walking on campus and it got my creative/reflective juices going.
Now deep down I have always felt that music speaks my mind in ways I can't verbally communicate. And I found my love for musicals both cliche and also invigorating for some reason.
Yeah Yeah.
But this song is called, "When Your Feet Don't Touch The Ground" from the musical
Finding Neverland.
The lyrics really are just gold if you really listen to them and just apply it to yourself.
Basically it is my love of London, Peter Pan, and just the message the song brings about trusting in the impossible and finding hope in the difficult moments of life.
Peter Pan was sort of an alter ego for me because it represents the kid in all of us and the striving for that "Second Star to the Right....Neverland."
I think we all have or had a Neverland that we hoped for but slowly as we grew up we lost touch and just got caught up in life and lost that innocence and sensation of flying and just being free and happy.
Sometimes I feel I struggle with being grateful, happy, and keeping things in perspective. I think I do struggle with depression at times (how white of me) and yes most the time it is self inflicted and I can climb out, but at times it can be hard. But it's moments like when a song pops up that reminds me that in time I'll be fine and I'll come round. There's still a Neverland out there and Peter Pan is still in me :)
We all have those moments we strive for; those moments that it feels that we are flying, where our feet don't feel like they are touching the ground because of that happiness and fulfillment you have reached.
But that's the journey I suppose just continuing to find that sensation and to keep pressing forward.
Carry on as they say!
Enjoy the song if you want
