Addison Road.

So.
2008.
Crazy.

I have quite a few resolutions this year, and I really want to fulfill each of them.

I want to change...for the good.
I want to impact people...for the good.

I want...to live freely.

It's so weird how I live in America - the epitome of freedom - but don't live my life that way. It's like, I get so freaking bogged down by comparing myself and doubting myself and I'm sick of it. I want to be so free and so...alive that people just see it and feel it. You know?

Driving back to OBU today, before Shaun's car broke and everything (that's another story for another time), I was listening to The House FM, and a song by Addison Road came on, called "All That Matters" that kind of explains how I feel now:

I may never be the one that gets a second glance
I may never be the one they call the prettiest
But that’s alright with me

And maybe I don’t follow every crazy passion
Spend all my time trying to get a good reaction
But that’s ok with me

This world is like a trampoline
High and low no in between
Jumping at the chance to please
Everyone but that’s not me

Cause all that matters is
All that matters is
I know your love has set me free
And that’s all that matters to me

Some people tell me to step out and do my own thing
And others say I got to blend in just to be the same
And stop being me

But this shallow world is no longer what I’m made of
I’ve been changed by grace
I’ve been saved by love
What more do I need

My life comes from the One
Who made the stars and brought the sun
He loves me more than these
So I don’t need another identity
