I still remember the moment. Excited, I've been waiting to see Kina Grannis for months. I bought tickets for two as soon as it went on sale and was super grateful to have my best friend fly with me to another island just to watch one of my favourite singer-songwriters.
The show was amazing, it was a dream come true for me to finally see her live. I wasn't prepared to be choking back tears at the first song by her opening act, though.
I know I've posted this up before. That was the original video by Imaginary Friend. This one was live, shot by Elaine, and I was right next to her. With only one person in my mind. The very words he had just spoken to me, now being sung by a total stranger.
A little reminder of how far we've come. And how much more we have to overcome. Nothing precious ever comes easy. If you won't fight for what you love, what you deserve, what you believe in and what you hope for, then what are you fighting for?
This was a song we sang to comfort ourselves when we were fighting through an obstacle that is behind us now. But one year, two years, twenty, eighty years down the road, there will be many more trials to come and I believe this song will be just as relevant.
And will mean all the more.
You're amazing,
And you have me.
Doesn't matter what ever comes to be.
Even if we somehow lose our way.
We'll be okay.
