jump start my kaleidoscope heart.

oh, sara bareilles. uncharted




this song holds some of my most favorite lyrics.

don't you think one's colorful heart so perfectly symbolizes a kaleidoscope? i like that image. i hope my heart is full of a million colors and shapes and patterns. colorful hearts make the world go round.

i also love the meaning of this song. it's about uncharted territory. the area of our selves and our lives that are unexplored and unknown. the places that can be scary but in the end you're a more beautiful and whole person for discovering them.

so, as sara says, may you stop waiting around and follow your own path the way you want to instead of listening to anyone else about where to go.

this makes me think of one of my favorite quotes of all time.

"you are master of your own fate, the captain of your own soul." -william ernest henley

now that is what makes the world go round.
