I tweeted this today:
The death of Cranberries singer, Dolores O’Riordan is a tough one for me to take. I’m feeling this one personally as a longtime fan of her music. She’s also the same age as me. Seeing that she was born the same year as I was really hits home. It’s reminding me of my own mortality.
This morning I watched a video of me doing a talk for a “Think Pink” fundraiser about my personal story with breast cancer (I was diagnosed when I was 29 years old.) I wrote about it and posted a video on my (now abandoned) blog in 2008 and haven’t looked at it since. http://lizzlulu.blogspot.ca/…/cancer-sucks-my-story.html
The song “Dreams” reminds me of the time when my treatment was over. I had a so many dreams. And in all this time, fear has been stopping me from fulfilling them. The song spoke to me this morning and it made me realize that it’s time. I’m at a place in my life where I know that “I want more” and it’s getting “impossible to ignore.”
Dreams
Oh my life is changing everyday
In every possible way
And oh my dreams
It’s never quite as it seems
Never quite as it seems
I know I felt like this before
But now I’m feeling it even more
Because it came from you
Then I open up and see
The person falling here is me
A different way to be
I want more, impossible to ignore
Impossible to ignore
And they’ll come true
Impossible not to do
Possible not to do
And now I tell you openly
You have my heart so don’t hurt me
You’re what I couldn’t find
A totally amazing mind
So understanding and so kind
You’re everything to me
Oh my life is changing everyday
In every possible way
And oh my dreams
It’s never quite as it seems
‘Cause you’re a dream to me
Dream to me
