Learning to live.

[SkyFire]

There's an old Dream Theater song called "Learning to live", and the lyrics go:

 

 

"The way your heart sounds

makes all the difference

It's what decides if you'll endure

the pain that we all feel

The way your heart beats

makes all the difference

In learning to live"

 

What it means to me, is that the lessons we learn in life and what we get out of them make us the people we are today.

 

Sometime between my ex girlfriend who I really liked, even maybe loved, cheating on me, having my band musically destroyed by another at a local gig, and questioning the things Ive been doing lately will lead me into the right direction in life, I felt inspired to write this post.

 

There are times in life when we go from having the best time in our lives and thinking everything's perfect, to hitting rock bottom and having everything go wrong. And you can't do anything about it.

 

These are the times that make us or break us.

 

Encountering conflict, DEALING with it and learning your lessons out of it is the only way a person can grow. If you're out there trying new things, messing up, sucking it up and coming right back, then you're out there living life.

 

I won't make this post long.

 

My point is; go out there, live life, make mistakes, learn from them, and grow.

Awesome song, even better lesson. Kinda goes along with the whole, when your at your worst, is when your really at your best sorta thing. And being in that sort of position, it was nice to read this and hear that insight. Thanks.
