If Your Heart Was Broken, You Would Be Dead...

I was originally going to do this as an RTChronicles post but I seem to have gotten past that part of my life for now. I can't say why exactly, I just have. I suppose I lost my gusto. I noticed that the posts were getting more and more cryptic and the few positive ones I posted weren't what I had originally intended them to be. But, that's not the point of this post. The point of this post was the song lyric that I used as my title for this entry. (For those that aren't aware, all of my posts are titled with a song lyric that happens to coincide with the theme of that particular rant)

As I sat here eating my banana and drinking my coffee I was browsing around YouTube and came across this song by The Sleeping called "If Your Heart Was Broken, You Would Be Dead." My friends and I used to sit in a car and listen to this on the loudest setting over and over. I always enjoyed the line and was humored by the idea of someone dying due to heartbreak. I'm not saying it's not possible, but given the huge influx of "emo" music that was popular at the time I thought it was a clever crack at the current trend. But again I find myself getting distracted...

So whenever I hear this song it always sort of encourages me to keep going in life. If I'm down I can simply put this song on and easily become motivated, pushing away whatever troubles are bumming me out at the time. When I listen to it I remember one their other lines from the song, "King of Hearts." In that song they simply flip the lyrics to this song and combat the theme of "King of Hearts" with the lines, "my heart isn't broken and I'm not dead." I always remind myself that my heart ISN'T broken and I'm not dead. It's like I get upset with myself and think, "Why am I letting things get me down?" Even though things aren't going my way... And even though I'm not the happiest person in the world... And even though I find it hard to continue onwards, I remind myself that my heart isn't broken and I'm not dead.
