A song instead of regular words

I dont know if it ever happens to you, but it happens to me quite often. You download a new album or just turn "shuffle" on on your iTunes and a new song is playing. But it still feels familiar. Like you would write the lyrics. And then you get it...its because the author felt similar/the same as you in that time when he was writting it. These songs are changing depending on your mood, on your recent life. Sometimes there are bunch of them, sometimes its hard to find one. This is one of the songs which talk for me (at least partly/with the podtext) for the last two months. Its Aftertaste by Ben Lee and you can know it from the One Tree Hill sountrack. Ill add the song when I know how:)

And its none of my business,
I got a weakness
Can I beat this?
The autumn leaves
Are falling in the breeze
It's not my fault
There's a storm over yonder
You gotta wonder
What its all about
Destiny was never up to me
And its not my fault,
Your loves like salt

The aftertaste is gonna break my heart
Feels like its over before it starts
The aftertaste is gonna break my heart

And I really didnt need this
Dont wanna be this
Dont wanna see this
Im fallin in,
Im going there again
And its not my fault
Are you sick of pretending?
That all this trouble is really endin
The way things break
Every step you take
Is not my fault
Your loves like salt

The aftertaste is gonna break my heart
Feels like its over before it starts
The aftertaste is gonna break my heart

Character going along with christianity

For the last few days...or weeks Ive been little thinking of how some characteristics can go along with christianity.

Let me be honest with you.

In the beggining of this summer I had a little advanture traveling from Croatia to the Czech republic. I made it through some exciting places and the whole trip took me about three days. And you know what? Even though my parents were afraid of me and my friends call me crazy I felt so great during these days! Ok, not really while waiting for the train for 4 hours in the ugliest place ever or sleeping very "comfortably" in front of the trains station, but still. Every time I got on a bus/train/walk somewhere else I just couldnt avoid the big smile on my face. I was so happy being on the road. Getting to know new places, meeting new people.
A little different story is about a guy Ive read a book about. But it fits to what I want to say. So, Roald Dahl in his book Swith Bitch (great book by the way) writes about a guy called "uncle Oswald". Oswald is this kind of a guy who is always on the road, every day with a different woman. He never was with a woman twice. Never. Saying he cant stay on one place for too long. His approach to life made me thinking about this whole thing.

What if I am that kind of a guy like Oswald? Even now, in my 19 ages (and experiencing this for already two three years) I feel the urge to get out of my town where I live for at least one month a year. I just need to. I wouldnt be happy there anymore until Id leave. This year I was gone only for 20 days or so and it wasnt enough. Now Im stuck here, working and meeting all the same people (even though i LOVE them truly) and I feel like in a cage.
The other thing is about relationships. Ive never really had a boyfriend (I mean a real one, haha, these two can be barely marked as bfs) so I dont really know, but what if I wont be able to be faithful? Maybe once I truly love someone it will be way more easier than it seems now. But anyway, I think that in every relationship (including friendships) once you get to the point when you have nothing to say to each other and you need a little break, to get to know new people, to experience something new and then it works out again. (this is probably why I need my away-month). Maybe this makes no sence to you. It makes perfect sence to me. Its just the way I am.

So how people with uncle Oswalds character can be christians? Can they? How? What to do if I feel like uncle Oswald?

Maybe I just need a man who will understand all of this and then everything will be fine. And one who likes to travel. That would be amazing.

Any ideas? If it really doesnt make sence to you Im sorry...But its not my fault;)
