"Up and Up"
(by Relient K)
"Yesterday was not quite what it could've been
As were most of all the days before
But I swear today, with every breath I'm breathing in
I'll be trying to make it so much more
'Cause it seems I get so hung up on
The history of what's gone wrong
That the hope of a new day is sometimes hard to see
But I'm finally catching on to it
Yeah, the past is just a conduit
And the light, there at the end, is where I'll be
Chorus:
'Cause I'm on the up and up
I'm on the up and up
And I haven't given up
Given up on what I know I'm capable of
Yeah, I'm on the up and up
Yeah, there's nothing left to prove
'Cause I'm just trying to be a better version of me for You
A better version of me for You
To be prosperous would not require much of me
You see, contentment is the one thing it entails
To be content with where I am and getting where I need to be
And moving past the past where I have failed
But I'm finally catching on to it
Yeah, the past is just a conduit
And the light, there at the end, is where I'll be
Chorus
You never cease to supply
Me with what I need for a good life
So when I'm down, I'll hold my head up high
'Cause You're the reason why, yeah, You're why
Chorus..."
I just wanted to let y'all know that I'm doing well. I know I've been a bit gloomy in the past. But right now, I'm good. My circumstances haven't really changed, but I have a goal (saving for a new house!), & I'm planning for the future. A future with my husband. Over the past 10 months, I haven't done much of that. But I am right now, and it feels good!
