"Drops of Jupiter"

"Can you imagine no love, pride, deep-fried chicken?
You best friend always sticking up for you even when I know you're wrong.
Can you imagine no first dance, freeze dried romance, five-hour phone conversation?
The best soy latte that you ever had and me."

These lyrics are from my ALL TIME favorite song, "Drops of Jupiter" by Train. This song has been my power ballad for the course of my life. From the times I first heard it singing in the car seat in the back of my moms mini-van, to the time I saw Train perform live in Boston with my best friends. Listening to this song time and time again is like reading your favorite book over again. Or watching that favorite movie of yours numerous times. You always find something new in it. You can see a deeper meaning, or something that you never thought of before.

This song currently correlates with my life. I am always growing and maturing into the young woman that I've always hoped to be. I've been making a lot of recent friendships with many different people. Friendships that I hope are for a lifetime! This song is all about a girl with "drops of jupiter" in her hair, who seems to be on the hunt to find herself and/or the deeper meaning in something she cannot define. I am still finding pieces of myself, and I will continue to play this song time and time again throughout this journey!
