"Quiet"

"Quiet"

By Jason Mraz

I want to, I want to hold you

Every time I go home there's another cellphone tower
Construction getting louder, paving over yesterdays
You and I, we will try to find the side of it that's pretty
While our town becomes a city, we won't let it be erased
Empires rise, empires fall
Will you be my constant through it all?

I will hold your hand and watch the world spin idly around this life we're in
Oh yeah everything goes quiet when it's you I'm with

Every once in a while, you know I get these real bad headaches
Worried about the mistakes that I've made along the way
You and I, we can't hide from the fact that we need each other
How else will I recover when the fever comes again

Temperatures rise, temperatures fall
Will you be my constant through it all?

I will hold your hand and watch the world spin idly around this life we're in
Oh yeah everything goes quiet when it's you I'm with

There are no words, no words when I'm with you
Every time I hear music, they've added more stuff to it
Things are always moving into a futuristic place
Where you and I will try, we'll try to dance into tomorrow
But time will have to borrow, not a minute left to waste

Heartbeats rise, heartbeats fall
Will you be my constant through it all?

I will hold your hand and watch the world spin idly around this life we're in
Oh yeah everything goes quiet when it's you I'm with

A Spoonie's Outlet.

Hey World,

I know it has been a while since I have posted. I have been doing some upgrading in my life and has been taking up my time.

So as a quick update, I saw my doctor last week and we have decided to do some changing on my medications. I have to say this combination of medications is a dream. It has not been a week yet and I already see the difference. I don't wake up exhausted and my day to day pain is tolerable to none at all. At least that is how I feel now, we will see what happens as time goes on. Thank you to a lovely girl on Instagram who told me about her regimen, its a life saver.

(Also watching Shark Week right now while typing this up, is anyone else watching? How crazy is this stuff? I love me some Shark Week.)

Anyways, moving on to tonight's thoughts. As a spoonie, I need to find ways to cope with my illnesses and I can tell you I have not been doing that so well since the very beginning. Yet, lately I'm starting to become more and more aware of what I can do and trying to learn my limits instead of rebelling against them. By the way, fun fact about me, I hate being told what to do (thanks momma, love you!).

I would have to say my number one outlet would be music. I would be dead without music, it is just so universal and it is really magically on how one thing can bring a walks of life together. I love it so much. So if you ever see me just post some song lyrics on my blog, just see it as either my song of the day or how I am feeling for the day or at the moment.

I also love to do anything creative. I love to draw, design, color, etc. I also like to play video games, watch movies or tv, and just lay in bed relaxing. I can actually be kind of boring but I am okay with it. My mom says that if I were any more laid back I would be dead or in a coma or something like that. Which is accurate but don't get me wrong though, I do have my spontaneous moments.

My favorite creative thing to do as an outlet is, shocker, do my nails! If you already follow me on Instagram then you know I love to do my nails. I wish I could them more often but I need to hand out my spoons wisely. I have always been into doing my nails but then I discovered this community of nail art, courtesy of my best friend. I have probably been doing nail art for about a year and a half and I love doing it so much. It can be a frustrating process for me though sometimes and for many reasons. Either I don't have enough inspiration, too many options, I am not feeling well, or I am being too much of perfectionist and hate the execution of the design. Ask my best friend I drive her crazy most of the time. I still keep at it and try my best. Practice makes perfect, maybe?

If you would like to see what I do with my nails you can see at my handle @joycelynn_ann, I am currently working on some triplet shark week nails this week. My profile is public and if you don't have Instagram, I will try and figure out how I can post good quality photos on here for you to see at least my favorites.

Also, I have a feeling that working out will be another great outlet for me as well, besides sleeping. I did join the gym and yesterday was my first full day after two half days of just doing the treadmill. I was there for an hour and a half and I am definitely sore today. What do they say? No pain, no gain? Well, bring it on! I know its only been a few days but I love the feeling I am getting when I am done. It is like an accomplishment every day to a much bigger accomplishment I have been trying to do all of my life.

That's all I have for now! Until next time....

xo,

Joycelynn Ann
