Never Come Back Again

I’m sitting in Starbucks, as usual this time of day, a song catches my attention which is unusual. Starbucks music is hit or miss here. One day, I swear they played the entire Fantasia soundtrack. All I could think about were hippos dancing in pink tutus. I wouldn’t normally get up and ask them to change the music but I couldn’t take it anymore. Turns out they don’t get to control the music anyways. Today the lyrics of the song caught my attention.

I wanna see the world, I wanna sail the ocean
I wanna know what it feels like to never come back again

I like it, the rolling drum beat, the sincerity.

I wanna find my love, lose myself in passion
I wanna love her in my heart and never come back again

I google the lyrics. I buy the album.

I think there is a longing in the soul to travel. To leave and not look back. Just go and see where life takes you. Meet you’re love, and love her passionately. Live life as full as possible and never settle for anything less. Never coming back to lesser days.

There have been lots of amazing moments this year, it seems they often came when least expected…I’m looking forward to those unexpected moments in 2016! I’m looking forward. Hope you enjoy the song, and the photos!
