Week 43/52 - Yellow Shirt

she always wears yellow when she feels like herself

with a smile that's shining brighter than I ever could tell

and I know that she means business because she won't say a word to me

but lately winters taking over summers heat

I'm shaking in my sneakers, shivering in the breeze

I'm nervous because I don't know if she'll ever return to me

because when she acts like herself, I swear that she outshines everyone else

but shes been feeling alone

and nobody's fine on their own, don't you know

and she's been wearing gray , without a thought of change

and I've been desperately trying to make her see

that even when it rains, the sun is still ablaze

and right now in the dark

she is my shining star

I love this song.  It's catchy, obviously sweet, and makes me think of some wonderful people in my life who are constantly trying to help me see that I'm always the best version of me when I act like myself. It's really true and of course I can see it in others, the beauty in them when they stop worrying about the opinions of others or comparing themselves, but sometimes it really is hard to remember about yourself. I'm grateful for those in my life who come alongside me and make sure I'm not doing this on my own, and I hope to be able to do the same for those I love. 

It's been over a month since I've blogged, partly because I've been in a chaotic transition stage but mainly because I had technical difficulties transferring photos from my SD card to my laptop.  Having the latter problem solved I was finally able to edit this photos that has been in my head for weeks since I discovered The Icarus Account. 

Model is the lovely Ms.Sammi Potts who I got to spend some time with in Minnesota (:
