I've Learnt That

===.

I've learnt that...
Sometimes things are just never meant to be, 
no matter how much we wish that they were.

I've learnt that...
Beautiful things happen when you least 
expect. And the feeling is - awesome!
~ 22 years old

I've learnt that...
You'd be able to achieve so much more 
if you remove the obstacles in your mind.

I've learnt that...
Forgiving the people who hurt me 
is difficult... but not impossible.

Poetic Lyrics in Country Music

I thought the words were poetic about not letting anyone drag you down with them.

Baggage Claim ~ Miranda Lambert (Lyrics)

I have been draggin' around your sensitive ego
Making sure that your bags arrive on time for the dog and pony show
A little suitcase like a brick,
It kinda makes it hard to get a good grip
I drop your troubles off at the conveyor belt,
I'll hand you a ticket to go get it yourself

At the baggage claim, you got a lot of luggage in your name
When you hit the ground, check the lost and found
Cause it ain't my problem now
I can't carry it on, I've got a lot of troubles on my own
It's all over the yard, in the trunk of the car,
I'm packin' it in, so come and get it.

If it ain't obvious what has set me off today,
Behind every woman scorned is a man who made her that way
Go on and take your little business trip with that sweet little habit
That you can't kick
You better call your momma when you get to town
Cause I ain't gonna be hangin' around

At the baggage claim, you got a lot of luggage in your name
When you hit the ground, check the lost and found
Because it ain't my problem now
I can't carry it on, I've got a lot of troubles of my own
It's all over the yard, in the trunk of the car,
I'm packin' it in, so come and get it

Come and get it!

Come and pick it up, pick it up
Before I blow it up in flames
You better pick it up, pick it up,
Baby, I'm leaving everything...

At the baggage claim, you got a lot of luggage in your name
And when you hit the ground, check the lost and found
Cause it ain't my problem now
I can't carry it on, I've got a lot of troubles of my own
It's all over the yard, in the trunk of the car,
Well I'm packin' it in, so come and get it

Come and get your shit!

Acappella ~ Uptown Girl

Why I like this? The sound changes when listening to the singers from outside the room and from inside the room. Lots of harmony... I suspect that it's Acappella although the drum sounds like real drums.

Online Dictionary

I've stumbled upon this and found it interesting. May be useful for me in searching for Chinese Words as it has the Romanized Word with the 4 Chinese Tones.

I'll be using this more as an English-to-Chinese-to-English-Dictionary... but it's more than that... read below.
