The Lumineers ' Sleep On The Floor'

Taking A Chance On Love

I love falling in love with a song. Especially if the message within the lyrics have such deep meaning. feelings and thoughts invade your mind causing a commotion between your logical self and the romantic you.

"Cause if we don't leave this town
We might never make it out
I was not born to drown
Baby come on"


The mourning of death have clouded the sky for this couple. It's no longer a happy place, they are "drowning" in their own town filled with strangers. If nothing happens now and they don't take the leap, They are going to be walking the same streets everyday.

"Forget what Father Brennan said
We were not born in sin"

Religious beliefs can have a strong hold on people. It can determine if they go with their lover crossing states or stay with that they know. What most people tend to forget is that God is love, Always choose love.

"Let your mother know you're safe
And by the time she wakes
We'll have driven through the state
We'll have driven through the night"

The decesion has been made. The more miles you out on the car the more liberated you feel. A new complicated chapter starts to unfold and all you have is your love. Nevertheless it's a trial only the strongest survive.

"Pack yourself a toothbrush dear
Pack yourself a favorite blouse"

The vibes are right and her lover is staring right into her eyes. The intimacy in that moment sparks something of what some might call madness. They leave within seconds taking a chance on themselves. Are you willing to sleep on the floor?

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
