i was in crepevine w/ audrey (omg a bite of that siena[fresh strawberry & nutella crepe w/ fresh whipped cream & REAL french vanilla ice cream w/ specks of vanilla bean seeds] & i'm reminded of why i was obsessed w/ that place but that's besides the point) so i hear "hero" by mariah carey...it catches both our ears at the same time & audrey says "i haven't heard that song in so long" & i had a sudden flashback to when i last heard that song..it was in daruma(before it closed:( *sadness* ) as i was waiting for my take out teriyaki chicken...i remember taking off my headphones so as not to seem rude to the guy standing at the register...my food seemed to take a while & i stood facing the wall & the song came on...i listened & i began to tear up...i was going through my dominic crisis at the time...i was so lost then...(not that i'm not now) but at the time i felt like i had no where to turn & i did not know what i wanted...ironically it made me more depressed than anything...i remember coming home & looking up the lyrics...i posted it on my xanga...now i'll post it here...because it very much fits my current mode...my mission: independence
i was so distraught w/ a personal disappointment recently...but not so much by the actual incident...but the fact that it made me remember all these things from my past & stirred something within me...dom reminded me that right now i didn't need anyone...i just needed to better me...i didn't need a relationship...in fact i didn't need many of my current friends...because they're weren't really my friends (as i have come to realize more & more w/ each encounter) i am very much alone in this bettering of me..yes i will always have the support of dominic & the such...but it is all on me in the end...it is my job to make me happy...it is & should always be my sole concern...(hell it's everyone else's i just need to adjust myself so i do that too)
HERO
mariah carey
There's a hero
If you look inside your heart
You don't have to be afraid
Of what you are
There's an answer
If you reach into your soul
And the sorrow that you know
Will melt away
[Chorus:]
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you
It's a long road
When you face the world alone
No one reaches out a hand
For you to hold
You can find love
If you search within yourself
And the emptiness you felt
Will disappear
[Chorus]
Lord knows
Dreams are hard to follow
But don't let anyone
Tear them away
Hold on
There will be tomorrow
In time
You'll find the way
[Chorus]
