The True Meaning Of Life
By Pat A. FlemingPublished: July 2017The Years have passed by,
In the blink of an eye,
Moments of sadness,
And joy have flown by.
People I loved,
Have come and have gone,
But the world never stopped,
And we all carried on.
Life wasn't easy,
And the struggles were there,
Filled with times that it mattered,
Times I just didn't care.
I stood on my own,
And I still found my way,
Through some nights filled with tears,
And the dawn of new days.
And now with old age,
It's become very clear,
Things I once found important,
Were not why I was here.
And how many things,
That I managed to buy,
Were never what made me,
Feel better inside.
And the worries and fears,
That plagued me each day,
In the end of it all,
Would just fade away.
But how much I reached out,
To others when needed,
Would be the true measure,
Of how I succeeded.
And how much I shared,
Of my soul and my heart,
Would ultimately be,
What set me apart.
And what's really important,
Is my opinion of me,
And whether or not,
I'm the best I can be.
And how much more kindness,
And love I can show,
Before the Lord tells me,
It's my time to go.
Selenators are collectively freaking out because their fave dropped a song straight from her archives titled “Feel Me.” The track is from the Rare vinyl edition that she debuted during her Revival Tour back in 2016.
“Feel Me” deals with Selena Gomez’s on-and-off again relationship with Justin Bieber. Even Selena Gomez said so herself! “I’m so exhausted. I honestly am so done,” she told W magazine in February 2016. “I care about his [Justin’s] health and well-being. But I can’t do it anymore.”
It was a rocky period of time for everyone involved. Justin and his now-wife, Hailey Baldwin, confirmed their relationship in January 2016 and broke up later that spring. Shortly after, Bieber invited Selena to a Purpose concert that March and posted a throwback picture of them together on Instagram. Two months later Selena Gomez debuted “Feel Me” in concert and said, “One night, I was really irritated and I wrote this whole song.”
“Feel Me” deals with Selena wishing Justin would think of her while he dated Hailey Baldwin and his other ex Sofia Richie. “Every time your lips touch another / I want you to feel me./Won’t be caught up in the middle / Of your highs and your lows / Baby, long as you’re not with me / You’ll always be alone.”
According to Selena, she initially chose to leave “Feel Me” off of Rare because “that song was from when I was in a different place and doesn’t fit with where I am right now.”
