I want out. Of Jacksonville.
If not, I have an inkling that I'll be stuck here.
In a state of stagnancy.
I want a life of my own.
Make my decisions. Make my mistakes.
To have no one to answer to but myself.
To have no one to depend on but God.
To break away.
"Wanting to belong here
But something felt so wrong here
So I prayed I could break away."
Well, I'm still praying. And waiting.
Jacksonville will always be home.
But right now, I feel I should be somewhere else.
Anywhere but here.

i know what you feel like. when you feel like where you are, what you're doing, who you're with...doesn't feel like where you belong. not that you DON'T belong there, but that's not where you truly belong.
i spent the first 19 years of my life in Jacksonville; same house, same church, same city that grew some. i was so glad to get the chance to move to Nashville, to just get away from Jacksonville and home. but i got here and it didn't quite turn out the way i thought it would. i've encountered fake friends that really make me appreciate the few true ones here, and all you guys back home. it makes me not want to end up in Nashville, even though i might. i don't want to live in Jacksonville, despite all the family and friends. i think the only other closest recording markets belong to Atlanta and Orlando, so i may move to one of those crazy cities.
but through it all, i just have to remember that God is faithful. He does not forget about His children and we are more important to him than the sparrows and lilies (and they are taken care of)! He knows our desires and has a plan to make us truly happy, so cheer up!
