The rope gets loose and the chains unbind

I don't know why. I can't describe it. I hope it lasts. But I went to bed last night a different person. Or maybe I just got me back at last. From the Beauty and the Beast, but I just as well could have written it myself:

There's been a change in me
A kind of moving on
Though what I used to be
I still depend on
For now I realize
That good can come from bad
That may not make me wise
But oh it makes me glad

And I-- I never thought I'd leave behind
My childhood dreams
But I don't mind
For now I love the world I see
No change of heart a change in me

For in my dark despair
I slowly understood
My perfect world out there
Had disappeared for good
But in it's place I feel
A truer life begin
And it's so good and real
It must come from within

And I-- I never thought I'd leave behind
My childhood dreams but I don't mind
I'm where and who I want to be
No change of heart
A change in me

No change of heart
A change in me

well there is a perfect world out there. just not here, unfortunately, haha.
that's so amazing, though, your change.

that feeling...when you know you'll never be the same but you like who you are now better - even if it's harder. Because somehow you are more in-tune with God. life is harder, but so much more satisfying, so much more worth living. it just kind of hits you in the face, and then: peace.

I really hope it stays too. People will notice it in you. Praying for you Em!!!
