Can we talk about "Lost Boy" by Ruth B?

Every so often I'll listen to a song and be able to relate to it fully.  There will be a number of lines or so that resonates with me, but my goodness...this song is it, the whole of it speaks to me.

I avoided this song for awhile. I didn't want to own it because it makes me sad, but this weekend I said to heck with it.  It's too beautiful. So I purchased it.  Tears springing forth from my eyes and that empty feeling taking over.  I'm not going to sit here and divulge how I interpret this song by the way.  I'm sure it means different things to different people.

However, it put a lot of thoughts in my mind.  It's a song that makes me think about too many things all at once.  It opened my eyes to how much I spend away from reality.  I wrote a post a bit ago, about my love of Daydreaming . I realize how often, even as an adult I want to run away from reality.  Maybe that's why I want to be a writer, it's the perfect excuse to indulge in them.


As a side note, I used to tell one of my sisters how annoyed I was when Wendy left Peter Pan. If he ever came to my window and took me to Neverland, I'd never come back home.  Who wants to grow up? Who doesn't want to have endless adventures? Who doesn't want to fight pirates? I still think I'd make a fabulous lost boy.  I know that there is a darker side to the story but I ignore that.

Anyway...that's it.
