Long, Long Live

Today as I was driving back to Provo for my 2nd year of college, one of my favorite songs came on.  It's a song by Taylor Swift, called Long Live.  I hadn't listened to it in a while, but as I listened to the words, I thought about what this song means for me.  This song means my high school/junior high friends.  I think of each of my friends and the experiences that we have had together through junior high and high school, and I am overwhelmed with such gratitude and satisfaction.  We did indeed crash through walls, and move mountains just by the way that we lived - what we represented.  We crashed through walls together, and we built other walls back up for each other when we couldn't do it ourselves.  We threw our heads back and laughed with our hearts.  Together I think we probably could have done anything.  We changed the world!  I don't want to be one of those people that lives in high school when they are years out of it, but I do look back on those years with fondness.  I truly believe that I had/have the best group of friends in the world.  I hope that when they have children and are looking through year and scrap books, they will tell them stories.  I know I will.  I don't think that I will ever be able to convey to my kids theses feelings that warm my soul, and even seem to invite the Spirit into my heart, just as I am unable to convey them on this blog.  However, Taylor basically says what I can't, and you should listen to her song!
