Did You Forget?

I guess sometimes as you get older you forget about the dreams you used to have. The ones as a toddler, as a child, the ones you used to be so passionate about. Until one day they just all come back to you.
When I was younger I used to sing. Sing in the shower, sing like no one was watching. In elementary chorus concerts, having solos. Singing while looking into the mirror. The whole nine yards. And I guess for not doing it for so long, I just kind of lost it. I remember having such power with my voice. I couldn't tell you how many times I brought people to tears (tears of joy, of course). But just now, sitting here listening to music, it's slightly coming back. I doubt I'll ever be able to get into it again, but realizing what I left behind, is actually almost bringing ME to tears. I'm listening to this song right now, called "Don't Forget" by Demi Lovato. And while it's probably about her and someone else. I'm kind of taking it as a song to myself. Kinda crazy how you can relate to someone you don't even know, through their words and music, to a song that is probably about something completely different. It's kind of like, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, everyone has their own way of looking at and interpreting things, right?

Did you forget?

That's all for now. Just had to get that out.
