I think it's so important to watch what we allow ourselves to listen to. That is because we let those ideas that are being said in the music into our heads and pretty soon when we don’t even notice them. The first time you hear a swear word in a song you are like "What" and then if you continue to listen to it time after time that swear word is just going to become another word. I myself have been listening really closely to the lyrics on songs and seeing if they appropriate. I know that I have already re-programmed a station in my car! The power of music kind of hit me when I noticed my sister was listening to some, not so nice, songs and I realized that I needed to set a better example for her. After that I kept telling everybody in my family how it really affects a person and they all agreed with me.
There is my rant for the week. Lol
Lately I have been keeping really busy with work & school. It's insane, I currently have no life. I'm working an average of 30 hours a week plus full time in school. On top of that I have homework and stuff to do around my house. I can't wait to be able to take a weekend off and go to Minnesota to visit my Best Friend. The last time I saw her was at my Grandmas funeral; on a side note it's still hard to imagine that she is gone. I sometimes catch myself thinking of how I want to go by Cancun, where she lives, and visit her. Then reality hits me and I realize she is really gone. I’m trying my hardest to keep strong. Back to my busy life though, I feel like I have NO time at all to hang out with friends. My summer vacation is a little over 2 weeks and I hopefully will be spending that time in Mexico visiting my dad. I know spring is in the rise because a lot of snow has melted, even though it snowed yesterday, and you can finally see grass!
