Not Me, Not Yet

This song showed up on my Twitter timeline the other day, and something just drew me to listen to it. It was a day I was struggling a lot; with missing someone special, my M.E and a few other things. It was one of those days where I just remember everything bad that's ever been said to me by all different people and I couldn't stop thinking about it.

The lyrics started settling in and I realised this song was perfect for me. 

"Go on and take your sweet time
It's just my heart you set aside
I've done everything I can
Done everything you've asked
Think I'll stand here and wait?
Think I'll fall, think I'll break?
Think I'll give up and forget?
Not me, not yet.

"Stop pretending, I don't care
Comparisons won't get me, they won't get me anywhere
We're all diamonds in the rough
It doesn't matter what you think, I'm good enough."

For those of you who know me personally and know my situation, past and present, you can probably see why this song is so relatable to me. It's a song about not letting people who disapprove of you get you down; its about fighting for your own happiness and your own goals no matter what people think or say or tell you how wrong it is. A lot of things have been said to me and a lot of things have happened to me and also those close to me, and so I think this song sums up what we all must think when things stand in the way of what we want, or sometimes even what we need - whether it be freedom from an argument, accomplishing a dream or just getting through a tough spot. 

I think this song is an inspirational and motivational one.

For when you just keep trying, you keep pushing and you keep doing what things/people ask of you, but it still doesn't seem good enough. For when people try to knock you down and obstacles get in your way.       

      It reminds me to just keep holding on and be faithful that God will sort things out one day. The people you need will come around, and the dreams you aspire to will eventually come true if you believe that you won't just stand there and wait; you won't fall and break; you won't give up and forget... not you, not yet.
