My blog title - explained

Hello and welcome to my new blog! Here, I will put down all of my random and sometimes awkward thoughts for the world to read. Stay tuned...should be interesting for everyone involved.

Anyway, I wanted to explain the title of my blog: "Stephanie Was Here." I based it off of one of my new favorite inspirational songs, "I Was Here" by Lady Antebellum. This is the theme song for the 2009 Breast Cancer 3-Day, and it really captures how I want to live my life. Here is the video, as well as the lyrics. Let me know what you think!



You will notice me
I’ll be leaving my mark
Like initials carved in an old oak tree
You wait and see

Maybe I’ll write like Twain wrote
Maybe I’ll paint like Van Gogh
Cure the common cold… I don’t know
But I’m ready to start ‘cause I know in my heart

I wanna do something that matters
Say something different
Something that sets the whole world on its ear
Wanna do something better
With the time I’ve been given
I wanna try
To touch a few hearts in this life
And leave nothing less than something that says
I was here

I will prove you wrong
If you think I’m all talk
You’re in for a shock ‘cause this dreams too strong
Before too long

Maybe I’ll compose symphonies
Maybe I’ll fight for world peace
‘Cause I know it’s my destiny
to leave more than a trace of myself in this place

I wanna do something that matters
Say something different
Something that sets the whole world on its ear
Wanna do something better
With the time I’ve been given
I wanna try
To touch a few hearts in this life
And leave nothing less than something that says
I was here

I know that I will do more than just pass through this life
I’ll leave nothing less than something that says
I was here
