Take your time (coming home)

"One more thing, I keep having this dream
where I'm standing on a mountain
Looking out, on the street
I can hear kids in low-income housing singing
"We're through with causing a scene"
I don't know what it means
But I too, I'm through with causing a scene."
-fun, take your time (coming home)

since tuesday i've been trying to figure out a way to wrap a blog around a lyric from fun's Aim & Ignite album. finally as i walked about at work today and had take your time stuck in my head, i realized it was probably the best fit.

it's amazing to me thinking about it, about a year ago, i got a phone call on a thursday afternoon. it was my soon to be boss asking if i was still interested in an RA position. without hesitating, i accepted. within two days, i was in my new room, my new building, my new life. little did i realize exactly how much that split second decision was going to change me. the change had nothing to do with the RA job itself. because the work i did there was basically meaningless when it came down to it. it came down to the people. i met some of my best friends on that staff/in that building. people, that existed before i met them. people that if i hadn't met them would have just been people. people that i miss more than anything else about flag. even though it's gonna be a while before i come home, i will be taking my time i know that back there, there's a group of people patiently waiting for my return (wow, that sounded really egotistic of me didn't it. not how i meant it) and that, can put a big ole smile on this big ole face of mine.

"Now I'm not scared
of a sound
or the states
or the stages.
I'm not scared.
I've got friends,
took my call,
came courageous."
