QUOTE : I met a girl in a U-Haul.<br />A beautiful girl<br />And I fell for her.<br />I fell hard.<br />Unfortunately, sometimes life gets in the way.<br />Life definitely got in my way.<br />It got all up in my damn way,<br />Life blocked the door with a stack of wooden 2x4's<br />nailed together and attached to a fifteen inch concrete wall<br />behind a row of solid steel bars, bolted to a titanium frame that<br />no matter how hard I shoved against it-<br />It<br />wouldn't<br />budge.<br />Sometimes life doesn't budge.<br />It just gets all up in your damn way.<br />It blocked my plans, my dreams, my desires, my wishes,<br />my wants, my needs.<br />It blocked out that beautiful girl<br />That I fell so hard for.<br /><br />Life tries to tell you what's best for you<br />What should be most important to you<br />What should come in first<br />Or second<br />Or third.<br /><br />I tried so hard to keep it all organized, alphabetized,<br />stacked in chronological order, everything in its perfect space,<br />its perfect place.<br />I thought that's what life wanted me to do.<br />This is what life needed for me to do.<br />Right?<br />Keep it all in sequence?<br /><br />Sometimes, life gets in your way.<br />It gets all up in your damn way.<br />But it doesn't get all up in your damn way because it<br />wants you to just give up and let it take control. Life doesn't get<br />all up in your damn way because it just wants you to hand it all<br />over and be carried along.<br />Life wants you to fight it.<br />It wants you to grab an axe and hack through the wood.<br />It wants you to get a sledgehammer and break through<br />the concrete.<br />It wants you to grab a torch and burn through the metal<br />and steel until you can reach through and grab it.<br />Life wants you to grab all the organized, the<br />alphabetized, the chronological, the sequenced. It wants you to<br />mix it all together,<br />stir it up,<br />blend it.<br /><br />Life doesn't want you to let it tell you that your little<br />brother should be the only thing that comes first.<br />Life doesn't want you to let it tell you that your career<br />and your education should be the only thing that comes in<br />second.<br />And life definitely doesn't want me<br />To just let it tell me<br />that the girl I met,<br />The beautiful, strong, amazing, resilient girl<br />That I fell so hard for<br />Should only come in third.<br /><br />Life knows.<br />Life is trying to tell me<br />That the girl I love,<br />The girl I fell<br />So hard for?<br />There's room for her in first.<br />I'm putting her first.
