It all started with Shania Twain. Growing up, she was my FAVORITE singer. I heard her once, and was hooked. My favorite song by her was, Any man of mine. I think i just loved the beat, the lyrics made no difference. The song just made me happy, and the other day i couldn't think of any songs to listen to so i listened to it and it just put me in a good mood. I remember the first time i ever drove a car by myself. I wasn't supposed to, but my grandparents live in the middle of no where and they trust me lol. It was last summer. I asked to go to the wetlands, which is the name my grandpa gave the property down the street from him. It's by far the most beautiful place i've ever been. It's complete nature. It's something that i can't even describe. So when i asked him, he gave me the keys and said to pick him up a 2 liter of Coke on the way back from the party store. I remember standing there confused but walked out and drive away. It was scary at first because i don't have my license and i was terrified what would happen. Then i put on 99.5 (country) and put the windows down in there jeep grand Cherokee and was rolling down the dirt road listening to Shania Twain with my hair blowing in the wind. It was the best feeling in the world. I was in the middle of nowhere, on a dirt road, country music up loud on a hot summer day. Hand's down best feeling in the world. Shania Twain was my favorite singer for a really long time, and then she drifted away once she had her son. She got started back up, but her husband at the time cheated on her with her bestfriend, and they split up. She was gone for a really long, until about 2 years ago. She tried making a comeback with her tv show, Why not, with Shania Twain. It showed how things had been going in her life, and how her ex husband married her best friend, and her ex best friends husband was now her husband..... very weird to say in the least.
When i was in 3rd grade, i remeber doing a project on her. We were learning about biographies and had to pick a book and do a report on it. I chose her because she was my favorite singer at the time. The thing i found most interesting about Shania Twain, was that she had no parents. They both died in a car accident when she was young forcing her to raise her younger siblings. She came from nothing, to having an amazing career. It's weird that i'm remembering all this stuff from 3rd grade, but it's cool. She survived and made something great out of her life. Something i find even more interesting, was she was born in Canada and now for the past 11 years or so has resided in Switzerland. I think it's cool because i'm very much Swiss, it's one of the main things i am. My grandpa says i'm about 35% which is higher than most of what i am. I find out a while ago i was Serbian too- and i know absolutely nothing about that culture hahaha.
The last song Shania Twain published was around when she still had the tv show going. The song's called, "Today is Your Day" It's a song about how today is going to be a great day, even if life's been kicking you around. I 've always loved this song but forgot about it for a while. Its one of the alarms i wake up too.
I love the country because it's SO beautiful. I've always known that i wanted to live in the country somehow. When i was little- it was Tennessee that i wanted to live in. Now, i'm not sure as long as its on a dirt road with wide open spaces. Lately on the days i have off of work, my friend Sarah and i would jog a for a while. We learned that we needed to do something with out anger and emotions. We both are the same where we have a hard time opening up and accepting so we've realized that we have so much in us that we often take it out on eachother. So, we started taking jogs. I would text her or she would text me and we would go. At first we were just running around her sub, but it got boring, so one day we ran down the dirt road by my house. We jogged a mile and then went home. Yesterday, ( Friday) i had a Field trip, and we got out super early and were excused for the rest of the day so sense i drive there with my friend Katie, she just took me home. I was having a really bad day once i got home. I layed down and slept for like an hour and woke up really angry so i threw on comfortable clothes and just started jogging. I didn't realize how far away from home i was until i reached streets i wasn't familiar with. I ran about 2 miles away from my house and then back. I was just screaming on the inside and being outside in the country made me feel calm. I stopped on the various occasion to take a picture here and there and it just sorta amazed me at how beautiful it was. I'm not sure what was in me, but i've never felt so just loose and calm afterwards. It's really nice to live by the country(:
This weekend is the first one i haven't taken off and i haven't had to work sense i started my job and there are so many things i can do. After today, i feel really relaxed and can't wait for the week to come(:
