Musical Monday: Chasing Stars (Alesso, Marshmello, James Bay)

So this song is one of many (many, many) on the Whole Latte Love playlist. Book two in that collection, Giada Mazzi is Living her Best Life came out last week. It was unexpected. I moved the release date up because life is very uncertain right now, and I didn't want to run the risk of not being able to release this book. 

Anyway, I really love this song and the first verse in particular totally fits the characters. 
 

Giada Mazzi is Living her Best Life

Life is more than just the lies we try and tell ourselves about what we’ve done and who we are.

​

 I guess the truth is that I never stopped loving Ben. And I never stopped imagining how different my life might have been if he were only the person that I needed him to be, instead of the person that he is. Which is silly, right? I mean, truly; it’s laughable. Because if he were someone else, he wouldn’t be him.  And the world is already full of people like that. What good is one more gonna do me?​

Besides, if I’m honest, Ben wasn’t ever the problem. That was me. I was never the person he believed me to be. Oh, I thought I was, in the beginning. I tried hard to be, and that worked for a while. Sort of. But eventually I reached the point where I had to make a choice between living life for myself, or for everyone else.

​

And when it came right down to it…how could I not choose me?
