Song of Me

Have you ever been at a standstill in your life, unsure that what you’re doing in your life is what you really want to? Maybe the past has forced you to settle or made you give up on all hope for the future. Whenever I have thoughts like these, I always turn to music. Natasha Bedingfeild’s song, “Unwritten”, provides not only an uplifting feeling but substantial lyrics that can provide much meaning. This song is one of the most inspiring songs I have ever heard.
“I am unwritten
Can't read my mind, I'm undefined
I'm just beginning
The pen's in my hand, ending unplanned

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words
That you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions

Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten”

This song reminds me that we have our whole lives to live and that our future is whatever we make it. We, as humans, have the ability to choose and write in another future if we want. In life, our story can not predict what the future has in store for us. "The pens in my hand, ending unplanned" This lyrics mean that our life is in our hands, and we are the only one who can "write" the rest of our "story" (life).
Besides, this song is very inspirational. To me, this song teaches me about living and the moment and learning from my mistakes. It teaches me that I can't let things in the past hold me back, everyday is a new beginning. Also, it is okay if I don't know what it is I want to do with the rest of my life. Sometimes that is even better because it lets me have new experiences until I find something that is perfect because it is what I want for myself, not what anyone else does.
