Holding your breath. Holding your tongue. You’re only holding yourself back. So much to say. So far to run out from the shadows you have cast. Closing the door. Closing your eyes. You’re only closing yourself off. So much to see. So much to try. Don’t be afraid of what you want. Oh, the best days of your life have yet to come. It’s okay. It’s alright to open up. You don’t owe anybody anything! Life is yours to live anyway you please.

NO APOLOGIES!

No promise left for you to keep. You can be whoever you want to be.

NO APOLOGIES!

Don’t want to be no one else! What you see is what you get! No one to please!

NO APOLOGIES!

This most epically beautiful Trapt song was released on this day in 2010 during a time in my life when I was still desperately searching for my missing words, the voice to speak them, and the courage to SCREAM them to all the people, places, and things I’d once allowed to keep me chained to the ground and flightless, not the least of which “people” were me, myself, and ME!

The first time I ever heard it, it all but seared itself onto my heart and thus became one of my mantras. I’ve listened to it faithfully ever since, sometimes almost daily, as a reminder to NEVER slip back into the colorless shadows  I worked so hard to step out of. If you’ve never heard it before and are searching for the perfect song to serenade yourself with when you need to be reminded of who you are, where you came from, and where you’re headed, may I suggest that you add it to your playlist? In the meantime, please just keep the faith and heading towards The Light. YOU GOT THIS!
