Come What May

This is one post that is.... particularly difficult for me to record.
So, in fact, I won't put what I was planning to type up. That is something I shall save for, perhaps, another time. Instead, let me tell you why this blog is titled what it is. (Edit: I've left the post title the way I had it for my original post, so you can feel free to imagine what I was thinking of writing about.)

Since about.... well, a year or two ago, my go-to username for anything is LyricaLife14. 14 because that is my lucky and favorite number, and LyricaLife because, that is what life is for me. Without fail, there is a song lyric that matches how I feel. Nearly without fail, there is a complete song that matches precisely how I feel. Songs carry me throughout everything I go through, be it exuberant or miserable; there is music for every moment.

Music is an important part of my life. Music never fails. It is always there to sweep you off your feet, it is always there to hug you when you've collapsed on the floor, sobbing so much because you feel too much and you just want to rip your heart out right there (truly, I've felt that exact way for the past couple of days). I've cried my way through a song because it helps me make it through.

Songs are like scents. Were you aware that out of all the five senses, the one that helps to recall the strongest memory is smell? There have been times in my life where I took in a deep breath and froze -- I picked up something that reminded me vaguely of a time in my life where I felt very certainly about something.. Unfortunately, those moments are too fleeting and once I've had a glimpse of it, it's gone. That being said, nothing else has ever reminded me of that feeling, impression, and memory besides scent. And songs are just as strong as scents are for me. The memories tied to that song resurface with every line. Because of this, I simply want to list some songs that currently strongly describe how I feel or am feeling. They do the job of a full diary entry.
