breakthrough

i'm totally lovin' colbie caillat's new album right now. this is exactly what i've been looking for as far as new music to listen to. it's got that summer relaxing feel to it (even though the summer's almost over), plus the overall theme is pretty much applicable to where i am in life. ok, well not exactly, but i still like it! also the tune of some of the songs sounds familiar...no big though.

i must admit that it has a rather optimistic sound to it, but i don't mind that at all. i have enough negative thoughts to last me a good couple weeks and frankly this record lowers my stress levels, therefore increasing my life span and decreasing the appearance of wrinkles...haha! j/k. anyways, the album has a good mix of happy and sad songs, actually i think there may be a few more sad songs. but like i said it has an overall positive feel to it. for example in a song called fearless (yes, this is the same song title as taylor swift's song) she sings, "
And if I end up lonely, At least I will be there knowing, I believe in love." simple words to a classic "broken heart" song, yet there's still something to gain. and on top of that i really like what colbie said in regards to the album:

"For a lot of us, when life gets hard to deal with & keep up with, it becomes easier to give up on & let go of...I realized I wasn’t happy settling for less or letting myself become someone I wasn’t supposed to be due to laziness. I had to Breakthrough my fears, my insecurities & my self doubt...I want to remind myself & everyone out there that we have to Breakthrough all the little things we tell ourselves we can’t do because we are scared, and just step up & do them. This record is about becoming the person you want to be, having will power & letting nothing hold you back."

once again, simple words.

i like how the title breakthrough can apply to different aspects of life. personally, my current breakthrough is not the same as hers, but it's a breakthrough nonetheless. so here's to my "breakthrough!" i don't know how long this one's going to take me, but i do believe that one day i eventually will. and hopefully i'll continue to breakthrough even after that. by the way, i am so looking forward to those days! =D

wow, i just used the word breakthrough 5 times in that paragraph...haha!

oh and i really like the song "it stops today."

okay, well that's all i have for now. ooo, i've been watching the u.s. open and man it seems like the women's side is very unpredictable...which is very exciting!

okay, now i'm done.
