Ghandi

I keep forgetting to remember. I keep forgetting to smile. I keep forgetting to talk. I keep forgetting be myself. I keep forgetting to forgive. To forget. To be a friend. I keep forgetting to stand up. I keep forgetting to go to sleep earlier. I keep forgetting to appreciate you. Your smile. You laugh. Your kiss. Our hugs. I keep forgetting to open up. I keep forgetting to cry. I keep forgetting to mindlessly dream for the sake of mindlessly dreaming. I keep forgetting to lock up my heart. I keep forgetting to not take things for granted. I keep forgetting to love my family. When will we own ourselves completely? I keep forgetting to laugh my guts up about something that isn't funny. That is funny. That doesn't make sense no matter where I put the inflections. I keep forgetting to tie my shoes. I keep forgetting to put down my guard. I keep forgetting to compliment my friends. I keep forgetting the name of that song. I keep forgetting. I keep forgetting those in peril. Those in danger. Those who're starving. Those who need my help. But tonight's not the last time I'll see the light. I'll never forget again.

Is it confusing to anyone else but me?

Okay. So I've never been in real love before. I'd like to admit that. I've been in a relationship, but I was fifteen and immature then. I am now older and still rattling my brains. What is love supposed to feel like? When I see the inevitable significant other, how will I know if it's real or just fantastical blurbs of the thousands of books I've read garbled into one thought? Will there be a certain feeling? A tingling in my toes? A rush of blood to the brain? A sudden, unexpected adrenaline rush that has absolutely nothing to do with the death-defying stunt I heroically avoided? Is there a way to tell when I'm in love? I think I am and have been for a while now, but is there a way to know for sure? Post your opinionated comment letting me know what you think. I need answers.

Blurb.

Letter to Me - Brad Paisley 
Brad Paisley imagines his matured, older self writing a letter to him, when he's younger. Thinking that providing him with advice and suggestions as he goes throughout life will help him when life gets him down. To stand up and keep on the path. But sooner or later he will have to face reality. That we can't send a letter. We, unfortunately, have the honor to live through life right. The first time.
Sing for the Moment - Eminem
Eminem isn't against the world. The world is against him. And his fame. Even his music. Everyone might hate rap, but it's his life. And he may be hated by everyone for that, but that's their issue. He wants to speak to the young generation, anyway. The old generation hates rap because they know they bring no good, so they hate him.
Mine - Taylor Swift
A busy, loud restaurant, full of complaining, fighting people brings Taylor back to her childhood. Back when her mom and dad used to fight. After shaking herself out of her daydream, Taylor meets eyes with a handsom waiter. They fall for each other instantly. They go through life together, taxes, mortgages, but no real problems. Their life is a happy life. But, when disagreement heats between them, she's unsure that they will last much longer.

Six Words

I apologize

I have no idea why "Cupid", "complete", or "quote" are underlined. Sorry bout that. It just sorta showed up when I posted them. Oops.

A Story in a Song

Viva la Vida - Coldplay
Plot: The king of France, isn't a good king. Isn't treating the people very generously. Makes them starve, isn't giving them enough food or clothing or anything, taxing them more than they can afford... basically all the bad things every other tyrant has done in the past. The song basically goes through all the things that happen to him and his kingdom as it falls. And bites the dust. Hard.
Characters: King Phillip, the people/inhabitants of France being mistreated, narrator (I think he's talking in the voice of the king, but I'm not 100% sure, so don't quote me on that.)
Setting: France, 1700s (ish)
Theme: Frustration and anger with the king. Confusion - Phillip's confused because he doesn't understand that not feeding people kills them. Weird how that happens, y'know? With, like, every tyrant or annarchist. Ever.
Conflict: Subjects of the kingdom don't want to be treated poorly anymore, like dirt, so they want to dethrone him. Or kill him. Unfortunate for him.

Geek in the Pink - Jason Mraz
Plot: A guy really likes this girl. He's describing how he feels about fitting in and doesn't care what other people think. He's telling the girl that she's going to regret it if she lets him slip away. He can save her from "unoriginal dumb-dumbs" who "wouldn't care if they complete her or not", which there are too many of in this world, IMHO.
Characters: Geek in the Pink (my idol), girl he likes
Setting: Uh, not really known or described. I'll just guess as a social setting or something...
Theme: Undying love and adoration. If you plead and wish enough, things might start looking up. Be yourself. Everyone else is taken.
Conflict: Cupid "must have fired multiple shots at her" because she "falls in love too often". That's what's the matter. She doesn't know who she loves. He likes her, but she doesn't know if she likes him or not.
