This song. Moving, by one of my favorite Brit pop group, Supergrass, has been stuck in my head all morning.
The lyrics goes like this-
"Moving just keep moving
'til I don't know what I'm saying
I've been moving so long
The days all feel the same
Moving just keep moving
Well I don't know why to stay
No ties to bind me
No reasons to remain "
To be honest, I never looked up the lyrics until now. But the funny thing is, this song describe my life completely before I have settled down here in Oceanside.
It's been 3 years now, since I decided on a whim, to relocate up here with my then BF to take over a salon.
Up until then, like that song, I had been moving and kept moving. Things and phases, people and places; just blurred in my mind.
Here I am 3 years deep, from not particularly fond of this place I used to drive right by on the freeway to other shinier destination, to really LOVING and LEARNING to plant seed and grow roots.
Oceanside is some kind of magical. It is so unassuming. Yet if you allow yourself an open mind and open heart, it totally envelopes and grows on you.
This is a place I call home. That song is like a dream I'm waking up from. A flash in the past. Do you feel me?
