I was thinking a lot about my past today.  There were ups and downs, but I don’t regret any of it.  I decided to karaoke my favorite songs from my early twenties that made me get through the tough times.  Isabelle also sang a song that signifies to me that these children are my life.

Better In Time by Leona Lewis

Even if I am extremely sad, I know that I have the right to be happy. It’s like she says in the song, “It will hurt when it heals too.” Love will always hurt, but time will make it one day go fade away.

Duck and Run by 3 Doors Down

You are living and here in the world, so you will eventually find a way to be ok. It’s a great way to make you feel a sense of strength that is lacking due to the hurt.

Chop and Suey by System of a Down

You might feel the world and everything has forsakened you. It’s a sad song that always makes me think about how sad I am.
