Every morning while I am getting ready, I listen to Pandora on my phone (mom, this is the radio on my phone). After a particularly rough day at work yesterday, I woke up dreading the day to come. While in the shower, a song came on that I had never heard before. This song was the most heartbreaking song I had heard in a long time and for those of you who have had the pleasure of using my ipod/itunes, you know I have a weak spot for sappy songs. I was memorized by the song, but unfortunately, I was in the shower, so I wasn't able to look up what song it was (thank goodness for technology because I googled it.)
The song is called "Beautifully" by Jay Brannan. He is a gay man, so I am sure the song means something completely different to him than it does to me. The song is about a girl who falls for a guy and for whatever reason, he doesn't love her back. Maybe because of a recent situation I was in or maybe just because of the longing in the lyrics, this song really got to me. Even if you look past the boy/girl story line, I have been struggling with feeling good enough. Being the youngest/newest teacher at my school, I feel like it's a struggle every day to find my voice in the crowd. Somehow, this song got me through my day.
This is the best link on youtube I could find. Enjoy.
