… a lesson that I’ve learned from one of my favorite artist, James Taylor. I grew up to be an uptight person; who holds back my emotions; who put up walls from other people to prevent myself from getting hurt. I think that it’s been only just the past year or two that I started opening up to people. It’s not an easy thing to do for me. I’m doing it slowly and deliberately. 

By being vulnerable, I’m opening up myself of the possibility of getting hurt. But I realized that by being cold / stoic also separates me from the people who truly cares and loves me. And I think that it’s better to experience hurt, pain & rejection rather than alienating myself from experiencing love. After all, the hurt that one can experience can be healed in time with God’s help. 

I think I’m making a lot of progress. I’m taking it one step at a time :) 

Shower The People

You can play the game and you can act out the part
Though you know it wasnt written for you
But tell me, how can you stand there with your broken heart
Ashamed of playing the fool
One thing can lead to another; it doesnt take any sacrifice
Oh, father and mother, sister and brother
If it feels nice, dont think twice

Just shower the people you love with love
Show them the way that you feel
Things are gonna work out fine if you only will
Shower the people you love with love
Show them the way you feel
Things are gonna be much better if you only will

You can run but you cannot hide
This is widely known
And what you plan to do with your foolish pride
When youre all by yourself alone
Once you tell somebody the way that you feel
You can feel it beginning to ease
I think its true what they say about the squeaky wheel
Always getting the grease.

Better to shower the people you love with love
Show them the way that you feel
Things are gonna be just fine if you only will
Shower the people you love with love
Show them the way that you feel
Things are gonna be much better if you only will

Shower the people you love with love
Show them the way that you feel

Youll feel better right away
Dont take much to do
Sell you pride
They say in every life
They say the rain must fall
Just like pouring rain
Make it rain
Make it rain
Love, love, love is sunshine.
Oh yes
Make it rain
Love, love, love is sunshine
Yeah, all right
Everybody, everybody
Shower the people you love with love
