Unwritten

Payton Sawyer once said:

"I want to draw something that means something to someone. You know, I want to draw a blind faith or a fading summer, or just a moment of clarity. It's like, when you go see a really great band live for the first time and, you know, and nobody's saying it, but everybody's thinking it, we have something to believe in again. I want to draw that feeling. But I can't. And if I can't be great at it, then I don't want to ruin it. It's too important to me."

Often times, I adopt Peyton's lines from One Tree Hill and make them my own. But then again, I tend to do that with everything I find beautiful.

I created this blog because I want to...well, create. I want to write. But most of all, I want to write music. Being the person I am who tucks away my feelings instead of wearing their forbidden expressions, I wish they could just be swept onto a canvas to dance away with the notes of a song.... yet they remain unwritten.

Taylor Swift's new album Speak Now has inspired me to write. Again. I so admire her art of turning every meaningful and/or mournful moment of her life into a song. If I was so fortunate to have that talent I would write many a songs.

1. 
   
2. 1) I would write an epic love song for the man I have been waiting for these nineteen years and it would sing of everything moment I am eager for us to share.
3. 2) I would write a song explaining myself because so many people get it wrong.
4. 3) I would write an anthem worthy of my Savior, the kind that makes you want to cry more than you want to sing.

"Many people die with their music still in them. Too many times it was because they were getting ready to live...before they knew it...time ran out" - P. Sawyer

There is hope still yet
