For My Darling Christina

My next post on this gorgeous Saturday is about the brilliant, beautiful Christina Perri. If you haven't already heard her songs, you are missing out!! Never will you hear music & lyrics more unique, romantic, or authentic than Christinas! She is a one talented and cool chick! I first heard ," A Thousand Years" almost 2 years ago and instantly fell in love! On my 16th birthday, I purchased " Lovestrong" And " Head & Heart" and became officially obsessed! One of the main reasons I love Christina's music is I deeply relate to her lyrics. We have so many things in common and have been through the same experiences. We both love music, have taught ourself to play songs on the piano, been in plays, & read books in high school. Neither of us were super popular in high school, and were more introverts who were a bit strange( & different from all the other girls).


Christina made me feel like I wasn't alone in my sorrow and pain, and that she'd been there before too. She held my hand, through her music, as I cried my way through songs like, "Tragedy" "The Lonely" and "Sad Song; which literally expresses word for word my experiences last year! She makes me feel like I could talk to her about anything and she'd completely understand. Christina Perri is beautiful inside- and out, smart, talented, down-to-earth, and a kind, gentle soul. Her smile is full of warmth and her spirit sweet, because she has been through so much in life.Not to mention she is a badass piano & guitar player! Instead of letting her horrible experiences made her bitter and cold; she has used them to help and bless so many people like me. If you are ever feeling discouraged and broken, listen to her song ," I Believe". I guarantee you will be feeling so much more hopeful and encouraged when you finish listening to it!

Let it be your anthem and you will find, like me, that life will slowly take a turn for the better. Her words will begin to prove true, as she says, ' I Believe tomorrow is stronger than yesterday, I believe your head is the only thing in your way, wish that you could see your scars turn into beauty, I believe that today it's ok to not be ok."


I had the most surreal, once in- a life time night going to her concert last July! I paid $90.00 for the tickets and it was a small place, without seats. So, I got to get only a couple rows back from the stage, so close to her! She was everything I knew she'd be! She wore a cute, appropriate white dress and keds and danced around carefree and happy! Her music was even more enjoyable on stage, as was Rachel Platten's.

if you ever are feeling low or feeling lonely,  pick her music! You will leave, releasing you are not isolated or alone in the crazy journey of life we are on. and there is always hope for you!
