I Found Myself - Ciara

So long. Farewell.
Hello, to the new me, the better me, that's right.

My Life...
21, and I've realized, everything you want's not meant to be.
21 then you qualify, then stand up to responsibilities.
So I tried to prioritize by deciding what I know is best for me.
And then there's always, love that tries to trip you up.
You try to catch yourself before you hit the ground. …But nothings promised.
Friends are there to cheer you up, to give you strength and build you up when you are down.

So I set sail in motion. I say: So long, farewell,
My life's moving forward. My ship has sailed,
And I'm so glad it's over. My heart mends well,
After all that I've been through, I found myself.

[*Sigh*]

22, I hope that I'm with someone who truly cares for me.
If I'm not, I'll be alright, I'll accept the time I know God has for me.
One day I'll be the perfect wife. If that's my destiny (yeaah)
And I won't be afraid to try, though there's always:
Love that tries to trip you up
But then someone who sweep you off the ground. …But nothings promised.
I'm not gonna give it up, just because the last one let me down.

So I set sail in motion. I say: So long, farewell,
My life's moving forward. My ship has sailed,
And I'm so glad it's over. My heart mends well,
After all that I've been through, I found myself.


I'm looking out for me, taking care of my needs.
Life isn't guaranteed, it's time to start living.
It won't always be the same, can't be afraid of change.
You wanna have your way,
demand till you're satisfied, you lower your self-esteem,
You gotta live your dream. It's all about confidence,
So let them know that you can stand up.
You can never try,
Learn to express you mind. Sometimes you gotta fight,
It's your life so don't you give up.

So I set sail in motion. I say: So long, farewell,
My life's moving forward. That ship has sailed,
And I'm so glad it's over. My heart mends well,
After all that I've been through, I found myself. x3

-Ciara.

I really could not have said it better. She gave me all the perfect words to express this moment, my transition. I guess you can say, I'm finally growing up. …And I mean it this time. I am my own person and do not need anyone to define me.

I'm taking care of my needs.
My life's moving forward,
Welcome to the new me.
I FOUND MYSELF.
