I just found it, but oh my goodness I&#8217;m in love with it. It&#8217;s just one of those feel good type songs. It&#8217;s called &#8220;Dance in the Living Room&#8221; by NVTHVN. Please, give it a listen!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I keep revisiting this song, just because it makes me feel like myself again.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Over this past month, I truly just haven&#8217;t felt like myself. I&#8217;ve felt like a fake. Like I&#8217;ve got this fake persona. Not saying that I&#8217;m two faced, but more of that I&#8217;ve been showing a new personality, possibly because of my new environment?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Let me explain. I&#8217;ve noticed that my ditzy-ness has been,\u00a0<em>enhanced.\u00a0<\/em>Don&#8217;t get me wrong I&#8217;ve always been a lil&#8217; bit of an airhead. One of my friends, Hannah, has a whole list of dumb things I&#8217;ve said. I wish I could find it, but the picture has been lost in the mix sometime since Freshman year. I&#8217;ve only been able to salvage a couple of them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The list includes:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">&#8220;I&#8217;m sorry I don&#8217;t have my glasses on I can&#8217;t hear you.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">&#8220;I measure all my events from when the Titanic happened.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">&#8220;I can\u00a0<em>see\u00a0<\/em>words.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">See? But since being here, it&#8217;s been real bad. Not in the sense that I&#8217;ve been saying an abundance more of dumb things, but more of my tone and characteristics? I just feel so childish in my tone of talk. I swear my voice has raised about 5 octaves since being hereSom.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I just feel like I&#8217;m missing the sarcastic, quippy side of me. Maybe I&#8217;ve dropped this in fear of coming off as mean or unapproachable, but I&#8217;m afraid I&#8217;ve morphed myself into someone that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">It&#8217;s funny that my outward being has become so sickly sweet, because my inner dialogue has gotten darker? Or rather it has slowed down.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The best comparison of how my brain used to be, was like Dug, the dog from UP (AKA a cinematic masterpiece.) What I mean by this, is my brain used to be so scattered, but in the best way possible. It&#8217;s how I was able to function.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Now my brain is a rock. I hardly feel like I can form coherent inner thoughts. It&#8217;s so odd and foreign. Most people would love to be thoughtless, but I just feel dull. But at least I have the feel good things.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Sometimes it&#8217;s songs, but it can be people, outfits, places, etc. It just depends where I am at my life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Feel good things are only temporary. I can&#8217;t have something or someone to depend on my happiness at all times.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">That&#8217;s the downside of having feel good things.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recently, there have been things that ave truly brought me back to my\u00a0true self.
