She Called Out A Warning

Post by achilles » Sat Oct 22, 2016 10:12 am

This morning I have been feeling wistful. In the midst of the changes in my life since I decided to break free of TBM-dom to follow my own moral compass, I've been thinking back to my college days and wishing I had a do over. I would have lived more in the moment. I would have dated and had relationships like straight people do in college. I might have changed my major and headed a different direction academically.

As I consider all I have given up being faithful and obedient to the Church, I realize I have spent my youth, and I can't get it back. I have been listening to my favorite metal/alt rock band and a song came up that fit my mood:
Bat your eyes girl, be otherworldly,
count your blessings, seduce a stranger.
What's so wrong with being happy?
Kudos to those who see through sickness.

When she woke in the morning
she knew that her life had passed her by.
And she called out a warning,
"Don't ever let life pass you by."

I suggest we learn to love ourselves before it's made illegal.
When will we learn? When will we change?
Just in time to see it all fall down.
Those left standing... will make millions...
writing books on the way it should have been.

When she woke in the morning
she knew that her life had passed her by.
And she called out a warning,
"Don't ever let life pass you by."

Floating in this cosmic jacuzzi
we are like frogs oblivious to the water starting to boil.
No one flinches, we all float face down.

When she woke in the morning
she knew that her life had passed her by.
And she called out a warning,
"Don't ever let life pass you by."
My advice to those transitioning or finding a way to live with the Church: Don't ever let life pass you by.
