It's my senior year. We all joke about regressing and doing all the things we really should have done freshmen year, but it's no joke. We have found our freedom!!! All my senior friends and I have been doing exactly as we please and saying what's on our minds. I pierced my ear cartilage (when I just said cartilage, my mom thought I was piercing my nose) and I do whatever I feel like doing.
So what does that have to do with the title? Everything. The song from which this title was taken is basically about being honest and true to what you feel, and that's what it's all about. As I've gotten older (and let's hope a LITTLE wiser) I've learned that it's worthless to do or say what you think you ought to. You have to be honest with yourself and others. You just have to. Be it love, rage, or indifference, get it out! There's no point in lying to those you love or to yourself, the truth will always find you. So, senior year is about that honesty, that openness. Be they good or bad, thoughts, feelings, and actions are gonna happen this year and I will not contain them! Life is too short, and I'm not leaving with any regrets of not being me.
To quote another amazing Mumford and Sons song: "In these bodies we will live, in these bodies we will die. Where you invest your love, you invest your life."
