"Let It Be Me"

I love it when a song makes me lose all sense of self and think about something that doesn’t seem real. How can I possibly explain it? It’s like my soul floats out of my body and I am seeing the world for the first time. Rebirth— there’s a decent descriptive word— opening my eyes and seeing the light of the world. There is so much for me to experience and see that I know is out there. At least I think it is out there. I think humanity is trapped in this cocoon, like a caterpillar. When we finally break free from the powers that hold us back, we open our eyes to beauty. Beauty within ourselves and beauty within the world. The caterpillar hatches from the cocoon and is a beautiful butterfly. Instead of walking on the ground, it can fly wherever it wants. FREEDOM. Right now, I am in the stage where I am realizing that it is possible to break free, and I absolutely cannot wait any longer to get out. Look out, world, because I am coming. I am not planning on wasting anymore time examining myself in the metaphorical “mirror”. I am ready. I have been ready. Whatever is about to happen is undoubtedly about to happen. “Let It Be Me” by Ray LaMontagne just opened my mind to this incredible idea. Can I even call it an idea? I just experienced the second out-of-body experience of my life. Both times involved music. Things can only get better from here. Nothing is going to get in my way now. Nothing, nobody. Try and stop me.
