Music Within

Today I started to put the finishing touches on my room. I'm almost done with cleaning and reorganizing it for my departure. I'll finish it tomorrow. While cleaning out my book case I found a ton of stuff that I forgot I put in it. It was such a mess and so disorganized. So many memories, both remembered and forgotten were found and thrown away, to be forever lost. Some memories just aren't worth holding to and it's important for us to figure which ones are and which ones aren't. One must choose carefully. I do have a memory drawer that I really should throw away. Nothing in it holds severe importance but it's hard for me to throw away such things. Maybe tomorrow I'll gain the courage to be rid of it.

I watched Oprah today. I do lover her (not as much as Ellen, though). =P Her show today was about children that felt they were transgendered. Young children ranging from 5-11. Amazing. The torture these children must go through has got to be astounding. The suicide rates amongst such children is quoted at being one of the highest and I understand why. The criticism and ostracism these children feel especially from their parents and loved ones. They are strong individuals for taking the step to tell open up about it especially at such young ages. You might ask how they could possibly know such things at such an age -- don't you think you would know if you were stuck in the wrong body? I hope that people gathered from her show that everyone has their own story. Everyone's life is set to a unique set of music and is just as beautiful as the next persons. To appreciate other's inner beauty and to be able to hear the music of their life we must first see and hear our own with great clarity and accept it. We must all be allowed to embrace ourselves for we are. The people that have trouble with allowing and accepting others truly have trouble with themselves and aren't comfortable with themselves yet. Human harmony is a work in progress that'll never be complete.

I was hoping to place the lyrics of a song here. A song that I think fit the theme of this post. I looked everywhere and couldn't find them and I do not have the time to sit here and listen and type. Trust me though you should hear the song. Find it and download it. The Music Within by Michael McLean from the Rigoletto sound track. But I promise to keep looking for the lyrics and will post them when I find them.
