Who I Am...

Song of the Day: The Story by Brandi Carlile
All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I've been
And how I got to where I am
But these stories don't mean anything
When you've got no one to tell them to
It's true... I was made for you

I climbed across the mountain tops
Swam all across the ocean blue
I crossed all the lines and I broke all the rules
But baby I broke them all for you
Because even when I was flat broke
You made me feel like a million bucks
You do and I was made for you

You see the smile that's on my mouth
It's hiding the words that don't come out
And all of my friends who think that I'm blessed
They don't know my head is a mess
No, they don't know who I really am
And they don't know what I've been through like you do
And I was made for you...

All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I've been
And how I got to where I am
But these stories don't mean anything
When you've got no one to tell them to
It's true... I was made for you

Oh yeah, well it's true... that
I was made for you...

Amazing song. If you haven't heard it, you need to. 

We all have stories. We all have pieces of us that we may not share with the world, but they make us who we are. To truly know someone, it takes a lifetime. I'm pretty convinced that most of us don't even know ourselves. 

Nonetheless, I appreciate being able to share pieces of myself in this fashion. If we don't explore who we are, we won't be open to knowing others. If we don't share the stories of our past, those around us will never be able to understand who we really are. 

So today, open yourself to someone you love, give a little more, and allow them a safe place to express themselves. At least that's my goal.
