Voice Within

Have you ever felt like wanting to do something but it seems like other people are disagreeing with your choice? Well these past few days I have been in a hazy state. I keep rethinking my options again and again. It’s been months and I can’t stop blabbering about it and the worst part is I can’t stop feeling sorry for myself for not doing something about it. It's a constant battle believe me. But things will be different now. Last week something awesome happened and it made me realize that as long as I won’t stand up for myself then no one else will.

Each and every one of us has something that can make our life worth living. And that is the voice within. I am happy to share that I finally took a stand and made a choice. I will stand by it no matter what. (GOD please help me with this. hihihihi) This is it and there’s no turning back.

I couldn't make up my mind on what to wear this morning so I decided to surf the internet and stumbled upon Natasha’s Bedingfield’s Strip Me music video. I already heard this song from her album. Her other songs are as good as this one. But this song is perfect right now. It's like the soundtrack of my current phase! XD

Below is the music video and the lyrics of the song for you to sing along! : )

La la la la la la

Everyday I fight for

All my future somethings

A thousand little wars

I have to choose between

I could spend a lifetime

Earning things that I don't need

But that's like chasing rainbows

And coming home empty

And if you strip me,

Strip it all away

If you strip me,

What would you find

If you strip me,

Strip it all away

Ill be alright

Take what you want

Steal my pride

Build me up

Or cut me down to size

Shut me out

But I'll just scream

Im only one voice in a million

but you aint taking that from me

Oh oh no you aint taking that from me x 4

I dont need a microphone, yeah,

To say what I been thinking

My heart is like a loudspeaker

Thats always on eleven

And if you strip me,

Strip it all away

If you strip me,

What would you find

If you strip me,

Strip it all away

I'm still the same

Take what you want

Steal my pride

Build me up

Or cut me down to size

Shut me out

But I'll just scream

Im only one voice in a million

but you aint taking that from me

Oh oh no you aint taking that from me x 4

'cuz when it all boils down

At the end of the day

It's what you do and say

That makes you who you are

Makes you think about it,

Think about it

Doesn't it

Sometimes all it takes is one voice

Take what you want

Steal my pride

Build me up

Or cut me down to size

Shut me out

But I'll just scream

Im only one voice in a million

but you aint taking that from me

Oh oh no you aint taking that from me x 4

This song has inspired me to always remember: Remain true to myself no matter how circumstances bring me down. 

Molding yourself to someone else’s liking won’t do you any good. I know that LIFE has its own way of getting us all tangled up with relationships, work and responsibilities but despite all that we can always make a choice.

Be true to yourself. Love yourself. and Don't be sorry for it.

Here’s one of my favorite quotes:

Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else. -Judy Garland .

Thanks for reading girlies!. I feel better now that I’ve said it out loud. (in this case, write.) hihi

Girlies, if you have any similar experiences, do share! :) Let's inspire the other girlies to be true to themselves forever and always! : )

much love,
