And I Will Fix You

Since the bell rang releasing me from sixth hour yesterday I have not stopped listening to the song "Fix You" by Coldplay (okay well maybe I have stopped listening to it for a little bit but it's been pretty much constantly). I have gone though many phases in my life with Coldplay and I guess this another one. This song has come up twice in the last week (the first time is a dance choreographed by Travis Wall, of course) so when I got home from school I decided that I should listen to it. The summer before my freshman year is when Coldplay's album X & Y was released. During that summer my sister moved back home and her and I spent a lot of time making photo albums of our childhood trying to clean out some of her boxes. As I was listening to it again all I could think about were those photo albums. So I pulled my album off the bookshelf in my room, wiped the dust off, and looked though it. I looked though various photo albums that I have made for a solid two hours listening only to Coldplay. Throughout those two hours I was reminded of many things from my past; my dad, my dance studio, old friends, ex-"boyfriends" (the middle school ones that don't count), when my siblings lived at home, my old cat, etc. As all these memories came to mind I went on to read my old diaries (that I only wrote in like once a year about dance and of course boys). After laughing over my diaries for a good period of time I found some old notes from middle school/freshman year (which were ridiculously embarrassing and hysterical). While I was reliving all these memories (especially the middle school ones) I remember how at the time everything was such a huge deal to me, and now looking back I laugh about it. I guess this was just the reality check I needed to reminded me to stop worrying about everything and just live life because in the long run whatever my issues are now, no matter how big they may appear, they won't be anything but a funny memory to me.
