Shake it Off

"Cause the players gonna play, the haters gonna hate, I'm just gonna shake it off, shake it off"

So this new Taylor Swift song...

Other people may just listen to it and not even think about what it means. And I did that too, at first. But the more I heard it, the more it began to speak to me.

"Heart-breakers gonna break, fakers gonna fake, but I'm just gonna shake it off, shake it off"

There are some things that have happened in my life, and I always have trouble moving on from them. They stay in my mind and often appear in my journals. Sometimes I have a hard time falling asleep at night because I'm still thinking about those moments. 

But after hearing this song, I've realized: what's the point? Why should I keep obsessing over the past when it's over! It's done! I can move on with my life now! I can shake it off. 

I'm trying to think more positively now and live my live with more smiles, laughs, and all things pleasant. I'm trying to forgive and forget, to love people. 

I know it'll still be hard. I know that these thoughts will still creep into my head sometimes, but I have to remember this: I am not alone. I have been blessed by so many friends that love me and care about me, and I have a God that is always with me. We are never alone, because our God is always here and always will be.
