30 Day Song Challenge REDUX -- Day 30

Day 30 -- A Song That Describes You

"Miss Independent" -- Kelly Clarkson, Thankful (2003)

Kelly Clarkson's second ever single describes a woman who doesn't believe in love and wants to live her life independently, free of inevitable heartbreak. But she falls in love despite her misgivings and it changes her for the better.

"Miss Independent". A song that describes me.

Before I met Tyler, I intended to live my life alone with a guarded heart and ever present apprehension towards anyone who may have wanted to "court" me. (Please refer to the line "if you want to use that line, you better not start".) I was content to be single the rest of my life, because it was less stressful and less disappointing than trying to find someone who maybe didn't even exist.

I wasn't exactly looking for love when I met Tyler. I was just happy to have a new, more respectable and higher paying job. It was a wonderfully pleasant surprise--the pleasant surprise of a lifetime--when he and I happened to connect. Despite personal uncertainties and the work stuff, there was something about Tyler which compelled me to go forward with him. Obviously, that "something" was that he was The One. (Please refer to the lines "so, by changing her misconceptions/She went in a new direction/And found inside she felt a connection/She fell in love".)

Really, you should just refer to all the lyrics, but to make things short, here's the chorus:

What is the feelin' takin' over?
Thinkin' no one could open my door
Surprise, It's time
To feel what's real
What happened to Miss Independent?
No more the need to be defensive
Goodbye, old you
When love is true

"Miss Independent". A song that describes me to a T.
