Song Sunday - Day 13

So I know I missed yesterday...I ended up going to Manhatten to spend some time with some SASers and we were out late so I didn't get a chance to post anything. It was such a fun time though! I loved getting to see everyone and go out and party it up. It's hard sometimes because I don't often get to see people from SAS so being able to have some time to hang out and chill with people that I really care about is coveted. I love being able to see them and catch up. I was so grateful for the time I got to spend with them and I will definitely talk more about them later this week.

So this week I decided to choose "The Middle" by Jimmy Eat World.
I've always loved this song and I feel like it's one of those songs that everyone knows and can relate to in one way or another. It comes up on a few of my Pandora stations and every time it comes on, I can't help but sing along to it.

I think one of the reasons that I like it so much is that it's kind of where I am right now. I'm not really sure what I want to do in the future and I don't want to give up on anything. The other thing is that sometimes it's hard to not feel like you're at your wits end. I like that it says "it's only in your head you feel left out or looked down on." I totally believe this. I feel like a lot of times we make ourselves out to be less than we are and feel like we don't belong anywhere. It was funny because I went out to dinner with my brother Dan and his friend Matt tonight and it was a good, relaxed time. I probably could have found other friends to hang out or just stayed home and eaten with my parents when they got back from Vermont, but I didn't really feel like it.  I also liked getting to hang out with them because I can have some interesting and deep conversations with them that I can't often have with some of my own friends. I like this song because it makes me think that even though I'm not totally sure where I belong, I will figure it out at some point.
