Oh those songs...

Why is it that when something new in life comes, so does a flood of old memories that you thought were long gone? Memories that were so dusty you thought they would never re-surface. 

One song. That's all it takes. One song to bring a flood of tears back. A part of you wants to be angry. Angry that one moment you were fine and the next you are right back where you were years ago. It shouldn't be that way. You are in a different place right? This is different right? Yes. We just have to re-train our brains. Re-train our memories to certain songs. For me a certain band for years I couldn't listen to because it would make me instantly cry. Now, I listen to it and remember a young, idealistic, romantic girl who had stars in her eyes and a sway in her body that she thought no one could take away. And I smile at that girl. Smile because someday she might come back. This time, a little more earth bound but definitely mored learned. I thank God for those things that made me who I am. Those heartbreaks and songs that remind me of how far I've come. 

I just wish it didn't happen out of nowhere.
