Love

"Feels Like Home"

Somethin' in your eyes, makes me wanna lose myself
Makes me wanna lose myself, in your arms
There's somethin' in your voice, makes my heart beat fast
Hope this feeling lasts, the rest of my life

If you knew how lonely my life has been
And how long I've been so alone
And if you knew how I wanted someone to come along
And change my life the way you've done

It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way back where I come from
It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong

A window breaks, down a long, dark street
And a siren wails in the night
But I'm alright, 'cause I have you here with me
And I can almost see, through the dark there is light

Well, if you knew how much this moment means to me
And how long I've waited for your touch
And if you knew how happy you are making me
I never thought that I'd love anyone so much

It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way the back where I come from
It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong
Don't ever save anything for a special occasion.
Being alive is the special occasion

Masters Program

I am in my Masters Program, spending one weekend a month of my life for the next three years in a classroom learning how to deal with a whole bunch of crazy shit.

I am working on Community Mental Health and sit here class after class and collect my thoughts on how I want to save the world from teen suicide...

I feel empowered and at the same time, so very small in class. I know I have power but things like classmates stories and my internship make it so hard to keep positive. I want to think the work I do will be important but there are so many issues to chew through first. Financial issues, depending too much on the system, over prescribing medications, apathy from burnout...

it just makes it seem too much to push through
too much to try for
