No One
~Aly & Aj~ **If you want to listen to it, either youtube it, or Last.fm it, or Jango.com it...all good sites to listen to different music.**

I have listened to this song numerous times and yet, I have not received the full message it has meant to be sent to the listeners.

The message simply states, "Don't wanna be no one...but me." True, one can reinvent themselves, however, that is not being you.

I believe that at one point in everyone's life, we should all ask ourselves who do we want to be? If we don't like what we have become, that's when we should make changes to be what we were meant to be.

If you are moving through the crowd, keep on moving. Do not let the crowd change you, change the crowd. If you are feeling worthless pull back the curtains and turn on all the lights.

I personally have felt this just recently, life is good, if we make it that way. We can dwell on the bad and keep that mind set of, oh life is so shitty. True at times it can be, and it's ok to keep that mind set, for just a little bit. If we keep it that way, that is how our life is going to be. If we put on a genuine smile, surround ourselves with happy friends, friends who will lift us up when we need it. And think, "Today may have its ups and downs, but that's life, I'm going to go in and have a good day, and try not to let things get me down." You will have an awesome day!

Life is a very weird concept. It has its way of getting what it wants, but also giving us what we need. This ties into the recent notes which I have written. Life gets the things it needs out of us for the tests it gives us, while we get what we need, such as experience, or a lesson learned to go forth with life.

If life is getting you down, and you think you are becoming something you don't want to be, think of these words and you may change your mind.
