when life becomes something just to get through...

I was listening to a Superchic[k] album this morning on the way home from church, and "I Belong to You" played.

And I could really relate:

Everybody needs to belong somewhere
life can feels so alone without someone who cares 
And when life becomes something just to get through, 
that’s when I’m glad that I belong to you. 

I belong to you,I belong to you,
you’re the one who will never let me down,
won’t let me down.
I belong to you.
I belong to you. 

Sometimes life brings more pain than we can bear alone.
When hope is gone and I have no strength to stand on my own,
when nothing helps, there’s nothing that I can do,
you surround me and show me I belong to you. 

I belong to you,I belong to you,
you’re the one who will never let me down,
won’t let me down.
I belong to you.
I belong to you. 

When Love is gone there’s no arms to run to anymore,
I’m all alone there’s no one for me to live for,
letting go of the things I’ve always clung to,
that’s when I need to feel that I belong to you.

I belong to you,I belong to you,
you’re the one who will never let me down,
won’t let me down.
I belong to you.
I belong to you.

I think what really struck me was the line "when life becomes something just to get through."  Sometimes I feel as if that line describes my life.  I fill my life with this, that, and the other thing, waiting to someday belong. But no matter what, I'm always running.  Always failing, and always feeling entirely alone.  


It's in the most alone moments that I'm the most thankful for Superchic[k].


"Some days it's hard to be a one girl revolution."


Yes, Superchic[k], you are 300% correct.
