Over these past several days, I have literally never stopped listening to this powerful and emotional ballad titled Numb by the well loved Utah native, David Archuleta. I am seriously obsessed w/ this fairly not so old single written by him almost a year ago and the message behind it has never left me since I began listening to it over this last weekend. I am completely in love with all of the emotion that he so amazingly well puts into this one song and reminds me that just simply being out in nature, to just immediately become one with yourself especially when times get hard.
I definitely do not have any kind of an idea about this well loved musical artist went through shortly after they returned home from their LDS mission in a foreign country, that he didn't know about whether or not David with trying to get back into the music industry was even close to being the right decision for him to make. I am not necessarily trying to admit that I know much about this particular story at all, but he continued to stay true to himself in everything that happened in his life. I am so amazingly grateful for his example to each one of us about how we can either let things in our lives tear us down or just want to simply teach us something important. This legitimate brand new single of David Archuleta's has consistently been played on iPhone and words cannot even describe how obsessed I am with his angelic voice. It has certainly been a whirlwind of emotions for me to learn lessons that I never wanted to go thru or face at this time in my life, but obviously I didn't think much about it while listening to this powerful song. If you haven't ever thought to listen to a specific song that means a great deal to you in some way... Please don't neglect to re play it over and over as many times you need to in order to feel better about what is got you troubled. It could easily put your self at peace with whatever it is you are struggling to see past or let alone, just needing a very simple life reminder to clear your mind about a problem you have not been able to overcome.
The emotional rawness in these lyrics of this song have definitely reminded me that we can always learn something from the experiences each one of us face on a regular basis. These past couple of months alone during this year, I have listened to so many songs that have strengthened me in ways I could never have even thought to imagine. It has also given me a sense of this escape into another world that nobody else needs to know about and due tot he fact, that I can easily choose for myself whether or not I want to give something a second chance or just try hard to not feel numb.
I have been given my unexpected fair share of experiences this year with unimaginable heartache from someone who I really liked as well as wanted to get to know better, but until I learned the real story behind our relationship-- I needed to immediately get out of it as quickly as I could possible. I may never know or completely understand what it was that David faced in his life during this time period, but I do believe our Heavenly Father works through us and regardless of whatever we are faced with.. He will make it better in his timing. I know that life's never meant to be easy for anyone of us and sometimes we need an extra reminder in what can mold us into better people as well as more disciples of our Savior, Jesus Christ.
I am determined to never loose hope in whatever occurs in my life as the years keep passing by and remind me that it is okay to not have a perfect understanding of why life is such a challenge, but if we didn't have those kind of experiences on this earth- How would we ever recognize that the lord is only helping us to become more like him everyday in whatever it is that we do? I'm truly grateful to know that we can always strive to make each day of our own lives a little more meaningful than the last one, because we might never know when it would be our almost last chance to leave a mark for people to live by.
