Can't Go Back Now

Can't Go Back Now
The Weepies

Yesterday when you were young
Everything you needed done was done for you
Now you do it on your own
But you find you're all alone, what can you do?

You, and me, walk on, walk on, walk on
'Cause you can't go back now

You know there will be days
When you're so tired that you can't take another step
The night will have no stars
And you will think you've gone as far as you will ever get

You, and me, walk on, walk on, walk on
'Cause you can't go back now

Yeah, yeah
Go where you want to go
Yeah, yeah
Be what you want to be
If you ever turn around
You'll see me

I can't really say
Why everybody wishes they were somewhere else
But in the end the only steps that matter
Are the ones you take all by yourself

And you, and me, walk on, walk on, walk on
Yeah, you, and me, walk on, walk on, walk on
'Cause you can't go back now

Walk on, walk on, walk on
You can' go back now


I think if I had to pick a theme song for 2012, it would probably be this one.

Context

It seems strange that only a few weeks ago I was spending my days drinking coffee and reading while basking in the sun. There's still coffee. And reading. And sun. It just doesn't seem nearly as enjoyable. It's funny what a little change in context will do.

Baby, I'm Back

I went to the gym tonight for the first time in way too long (unless you count several aborted attempts to start working out at home). It felt so good to be back. I have a bit of a love-hate relationship with working out. While I'm doing it I typically think to myself, "Why am I doing this? This is awful." But by the time I have changed I feel awesome. On top of the world. It's a feeling I've missed for a long time. And I can't wait to start to feel good about myself again. Watch out world, I'm starting a comeback.

PS - My dear friend is super athletic and these were her wedding shoes. How great is that?
