The Climb

I've always felt that music is a big part of life. It can help you express yourself in ways that are sometimes better than the ways in which you yourself can express yourself. You can use music to show someone how much you care, or that you are there, how you feel. Music can affect your mood mere moments. I use it to keep myself calm when I feel like breaking down, or to keep myself happy, or make myself happy when I'm feeling down.

Sometimes when I would find a song that seemed to fit my life perfectly (or almost perfectly) I would put the lyrics to it in my diary. That's how it is currently with The Climb by Miley Cyrus. I always turn it up and sing along whenever it comes on. I know I'm not alone in doing so. I decided that if people weren't familiar with this song that currently describes my life, I should post the lyrics. You'll find them below.

On Friday night, Miguel sent me an invitation to our mutual friend Isaac's wedding. I was happy to discover upon reading it that the wedding was happening only an hour from my house. As well as to find two of my better guy friends from college would be in attendance. On Sunday I arrived to the wedding a half hour before it was scheduled to begin. Matt and Thad seemed happy to see me. We hung around each other the entire time, I dubbed us "The Cornerstone Trio." The ceremony was awesome, Cali looked amazing. She and Isaac are so sweet and awesome together.

The reception consisted of swing dancing and strawberry shortcake. Matt and Thad took turns dancing with me, I apparently do well at following as I've never swing danced before. Matt even dipped me twice, it was slightly awkward as I was confused as to what was going on the first time he dipped me. It was a lot of fun though. Matt says Thad and I have to go downtown Swing Dancing next year. I think it'll be cool.








I can almost see it

That dream I am dreaming

But there's a voice inside my head

saying"You'll never reach it"



Every step I'm taking

Every move I make feels

Lost with no direction

My faith is shaking



But I gotta keep trying

Gotta keep my head held high



There's always gonna be another mountain

I'm always gonna wanna make it move

Always gonna be a uphill battle

Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose



Ain't about how fast I get there

Ain't about what's waiting on the other side

It's the climb



The struggles I'm facing

The chances I'm taking

Sometimes might knock me down

But no, I'm not breaking



I may not know it

But these are the moments

thatI'm gonna remember most, yeah

Just gotta keep going



And I, I got to be strong

Just keep pushing on



'Cause there's always gonna be another mountain

I'm always gonna wanna make it move

Always gonna be a uphill battle

Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose



Ain't about how fast I get there

Ain't about what's waiting on the other side

It's the climb, yeah!



There's always gonna be another mountain

I'm always gonna wanna make it move

Always gonna be an uphill battle

Somebody's gonna have to lose



Ain't about how fast I get there

Ain't about what's waiting on the other side

It's the climb, yeah!



Keep on moving,

keep climbing

Keep the faith, baby



It's all about,

it's all about the climb

Keep the faith,

keep your faith, whoa
