A Beautiful Mess

I remember in my sculpture class in college, our last assignment was to create something inspired by a song. This assignment has really made me look at where I get my inspiration and since then, I still use music to inspire me.

There was something so romantic and nostalgic almost about Jason Mraz's "A Beautiful Mess". I was listening to his new cd on repeat as I was knitting and every time the last song came on, I felt like I was being swept away to some time when I felt like things were going to be okay no matter what. That things work out in the end.

Last year, I just went through a bad breakup with a boyfriend who's life was entangled with mine so intricately, it was hard to break up with him until I was away from the city we were both from, the friend we both hung out with and the memories we shared. I had known for some time that it wasn't going to work, but had delayed the breaking up part because I knew how painful it would be for both of us if we were both in the same city.

In the end, I know I made the right decision, although I could have executed it better. I have no regrets, but I do feel like understand when Mraz sings "it's like picking up trash in dresses."
