Long-forgotten Lyrics Of My Life

Leap Year

Leap Year/Wedding Scene Song

Been debating all morning what to choose for today. Last day for this theme and I had run out of ideas. Then it hit me! Leap Year - the movie, the year, the wedding! It is leap year, the movie fits, the song is awesome, and today is my second wedding anniversary. How fitting, right?

When this movie came out, my mom and I watched it - over and over again! I knew every word by heart. I'm pretty sure mom did, too. We recorded it and binge watched romantic movies all day long but I think this one had won out. I have fallen in love with this movie from the start and the idea of a girl proposing to a guy on Feb. 29th is kind of cool.

This song though and this scene... Perfect. Because nothing in life is perfect; nothing ever will be. We forget to breathe, to enjoy the beauty of the day because we're so wrapped up in one thing or another. With us, it's always business. Nothing but business. There isn't any time for us. There isn't any time for friends. We care, we just don't have time. I miss my weekends off and not worrying every day how I'll pay for something or not being able to just go to a store and buy that book I've seen without figuring out which bill that money will be taken out of.

Slow and steady wins the race. Like Fi said, Rome wasn't built in a day. And life is a learning curve. Today, we learn how to leave the worries behind - at least for a moment. We're leaving town as soon as I get out of this shit hole and are spending a nice day away from the repetitive questions and ridiculous worries.
