Come Back to Me

Today was a nice day for me well for the most part. I just had a breakdown talking to my mum on the phone. If there is one thing I have learned life is not easy, but you got to keep fighting everyday to make it better. I was going to go to Charleston today, but woke up later than anticipated since I babysat til 230am! I decided that I would wait until I had all day to spend there. I haven't been there yet and I'm really getting antsy to get there. You'd think after being here for 2 years I would have been there by now! But I did take a drive...to Ketchuptown, SC. Yes it is called that. What occupied this town you may ask? A small country store and a farm. That was it. I drove down mainly country roads and had Lady Antebellum blaring on the radio. It was exactly what I needed. I love seeing the old country churches and the random farms with random horses. The tall stalks of corn almost ready to harvest and be eaten by me. The tobacco crop waiting to become poison. (sorry, but true.) There is just something about being away from the city that rejuvenates the soul. For me it takes me back to a place when things were easier and cities were few and far between. It gives me a chance to think about how people lived 100 years ago. It humbles me to realize people were here that long ago walking along the roads I travelled. Ok so I'm probably nuts when I think like that, but I can't describe what I feel when I can just drive with no destination in mind with the windows rolled down with my hair blowing and my arm flailing about. I love the feeling of being the only person around for miles. Anyways thats my piece take it or leave it.

David Cook Come Back to Me:
You say you gotta go and find yourself
You say that you are being someone else
Don't recognize the face in the mirror
Looking back at you

And when you see what you need to see
When you find you come back to me

And I hope you find everything that you need
I'll be right here waiting to see
You find you come back to me

When you find you come back to me

Peace&Love
