I Can't Help It

Via Pinterest

I can't help it
That see beauty where others can't.

I can't help it

That I have a burning passion inside my soul.

I can't help it
That I'm in love with blurry photos and golden sunrises.

I can't help it

That I like pretty things, like chandeliers and candles

I can't help it
That chocolate is my fuel, and maybe a little coffee too.

I can't help it

That this is whole I am. Wild and free and having crazy dreams

You can't change me or mold me or bend me.

 This is who I am, and who I ought to be

 I'm flying free. 

Don't Be Afraid

I wrote this poem the other day out of the blue. People ended up really liking it and so I thought I would share it here. I hope you enjoy. <3 font="" nbsp="">

Don’t be afraid 

To let yourself go

To be who you are

And show others your glow

Don’t be afraid 

Of what others think

Just be who you are 

And all the rest will fall in sync

Don’t be afraid

To spread your wings out and fly 

You were made to soar

And climb the mountains high

Creating Melodies, Intertwining Words, and Then Putting Them Together

Via Pinterest

I love to write and play music. Creating melodies, intertwining words, and then putting them together is one of my passions. I guess it is just part of the Freeheart I am. I'm definitely not a professional, I just like to write music from my heart. Here are a few tips I've learned throughout my time writing songs. I hope they are helpful to anyone who reads them. <3 nbsp="">

- Write from you heart. Don't write something to please someone else or to fit to someone else standards. Write about whatever come from your heart.

- What you write doesn't have to be perfect the first time. Just get what is in your head and heart out and you can edit or change later.

- Record whatever your singing or playing. There are countless times where I would be playing the piano or making up a song as I'm singing it and I have the perfect lyrics, but once I'm finished I either can't write them down in time or I can't remember them.
You don't have to have a fancy recorder. I just use the one on my phone.

- If you have writers block, get different sources of inspiration. I always go to my Bible or Pinterest. The Bible is full of inspirational things that you can build songs off of. Pinterest has so many quotes and verse and pictures where you can get ideas too. You don't have to copy them specifically, just let them bring ideas.

- One thing people think about writing songs is that you either write lyrics first, and add music later or write music first, and lyrics later. Which actually it is best to write both at the same time. I like to sit down at the piano or with my guitar, have my Bible opened by my side, and just play little tunes and hum a melody. And then slowly add words that come to my heart. This is also where the recorder comes in handy. Whenever you have these moments its hard to stop and write what your playing down. It makes you loose focus and it stops the flow. You can always go back and listen to the recording though.

- Be you. It's good to have an artist you look up to and your inspired by but always try to make your music your own. Don't try to copy someone else.

Some God has given bravehearts to be fearless for Him. Some God has given sweethearts whose kindness always speaks of His. But my God has let me have a freeheart... Which flys high, creating and playing and worshiping Him in every which way without borders.

I've been learning a lot lately… that I'm a free heart. I fly, create, and worship my God in every way with out borders. I've also been learning that there are other types of hearts too. like bravehearts or sweethearts… and more that I haven't found out yet. All of this has got me thinking about you, my readers. What kind of heart do you think you have. If your not sure, just give it some thought. I'm sure if you look deep enough God will show you and He'll us it for His glory. If you know what you think you are… please feel free to comment below… I'd love to hear!
