What's in your head?

My mind has been a mess lately. I’m grateful someone invited me to watch a Pyromusical Competition. It gave me a chance to take my mind off things, even if just for a while. 

One moment that really stayed with me was when the United Kingdom’s Pyrotex Fireworx used Zombie by The Cranberries as its music. 

The sound and intensity of it somehow echoed how I’ve been feeling recently.

But it also reminded me of Lang Leav's words:

106 Wonder

The first thing you sent me were fireworks. Sparks of light and color over a bridge to nowhere. I was already in love when we met that summer; I belonged to someone else. To make room for you, I had to ask the world for permission, but every answer was a dead end. But who am I to blame them for telling me what I already knew? So, I danced around you like a storm, white light against the cool black sky, like strobe lights flickering on and off. I said we could be something, you and me. I said so much and meant it, but never proved it to you, did I? We both know what my word was worth, you and me both. You took my hand under a Ferris wheel, spitting light, spinning lies. You dazzled me, you know. You were incandescent. I don’t think we could have been anything, not really. But isn’t it something to wonder?

Here’s the fireworks display from that night. The video doesn’t quite capture how beautiful it truly was, but I’m grateful I was there to see it in person.
