the love of money is the root of all evil

i hate money. no really. i despise it right now. i am generally a care-free person, believing nothing is worth worrying about. we can all get over all the stupid stuff we worry about. what i struggle with is worrying about money. not because of myself so much as my family. i hate feeling as though i am making life a struggle for them by doing the things i feel i need to do. by going to college and working on an album, i don't have time for a job, and i am spending money rather than making it. but these are my opportunities, and i also feel a responsibility to take them. ughhhhh
i hate money.
sorry for that rant, i just don't know what to do with myself today.

God's traits and message are so huge and powerful. To capture even a small piece of one of them in song renders the song more powerful than most.
For example, timelessness: this can probably only be accomplished by doing something so unique that it is never able to be sufficiently recreated, which can only be done by our God-given creativity. Also, utter truthfulness: I can only partially accomplish this, as I only really know the truth of what goes on inside my own self and the truth that is told to me by my God. And honestly, I do not grasp the fullness of either. Relevance across many groups of people (similar to timelessness): most likely to be accomplished by utter truthfulness + awareness of others, but never full. No song is fully universal, though parts of it may resonate to different extents with different people.
And one day in Heaven, we will sing the only truly universal song, the song we will all know by heart without learning it, the song God Himself created, the "new song."

change?

trying to be more purposeful in the messages of songs, while still letting inspiration work. trying to balance myself. the start of a new song. any ideas where vs. 2 might go? feedback on what i have? thanks for the love and positivity in the past <3 btw i love you back.


i used to be the image of innocence
one day i looked into the mirror and saw
the path of least resistance
i used to have contained curiosity
one day i found myself begging to be
things i should never have seen

and now, look at me
close to sad and alone
close to down on my luck,
wishing just to be home
but i know where to go
and i know the right way
so i'll take it,
i'll change today.
