I WALK BESIDE YOU!! Sadness and Divine Intervention

I was driving home from work yesterday and I was feeling pretty blue. (Frustrated with the lack of control of my life, schedule, and feelings of judgement etc etc etc). And then my ipod ran out of batteries. Disgruntled (I was on a hot streak of songs), I put on my CD drive. Driving feeling sorry for my self... and o ya did I mention it was raining too. And as I sat there pouting about my life in shambles, and I felt that God/Buddha/Jesus/Whoever was really feeling me. FOR EVEN THE HEAVENS SHED TEARS! It only seemed to make things gloomier. But then the CD from The Glorious Boyfriend (here after TGB) came on. And all of a sudden ..."I WALK BESIDE YOU.... WHEREVER YOU ARE!!!!" And all of sudden I'm on the verge of tears.

He walks besides me. Wherever I am. Even if I'm driving a car.

And I was feeling it. Like he was there cheering me on, it was strangely comforting. I remember when he gave me the romantic mixtape (well, when he put the tracks on my zip drive and burned the cd on my computer as I averted my eyes from the screen to keep it "secret") he said that he hoped his middle school anthem would help me through tough times one day. And it totally did. So I'm singing and feeling lots of love from TGB and I really imagine that he's sitting there in the passenger seat for a good minute. (Though as mussy as this all sounds, I could only picture the time he conked out, mouth gapping, when I was driving him IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY.). Regardless, my spirits begin to lift and as I look towards the sky, the clouds parted and the sun shone though and I couldn't help but appropriate it to my own minuscule life. It was GLORIOUS. I was so thrilled, I even listened to Hey Soul Sister (which I usually skip sorry TGB) and it was great! I've never felt so much support from music before. Don't get me wrong, I love music, but never took to using it as an emotion crunch. But hey. no time like the present.
