One of the (many) things I have struggled with in my short lifespan is wanting to be able to be myself. As a naturally positive person, sometimes I struggle when I feel lonely or not quite happy. I feel that people expect certain qualities to show up when they are around me. They expect a big smile and laughter. I am that way most of the time, but sometimes I just want to be quiet or sullen and not make people laugh or be the witty one.
With Valentine's Day right around the corner, I can't help but be thankful for my Valentine. He understands better than anyone that sometimes I just want to be.
I have recently fallen in love the Drew Holcomb and The Neighbors. They have a song entitled I Like to be with me when I'm with You. Long, I know. Their lyrics describe perfectly how I feel when I'm with my husband.
If i could live on the moon
I would rather stay in Tennessee with you
If i could sail across the ocean
The ocean would just be blue without you
If i could climb up Mount Everest
I would turn around and climb in bed with you
With you I can be myself
With you I don't have to be somebody else
It's like puttin on my favorite pair of shoes
I like to be with me when I'm with you

This is a link to their music video for Fire and Dynamite. It's worth listening to. I promise!
Steph-I would also like for you to marry the guy at 3:13 and their bass player. Thank you very much for making this happen!
