Advanced Choice Songwriting: “The Life I Want” By Baukje


"For all my life I thought that studying and working hard would make me feel that I belong on this planet. In my belief system it would make me happy when I would achieve big goals. However, I was never really happy and I never really celebrated any degree or promotion. I always immediately focused on the next accomplishment. During the Advanced Choice workshop I experienced many times feeling truly happy and loved. That is The Life I Want: A life full of love and happiness. That is what my song is about. Mythic as such, but even more mythic because it was put together within 40 minutes by the guidance of Mikis. A truly amazing experience, as is everything at Tierra Mitica. XOXO"

"The Life I Want" By Baukje

Going for the grades, going for success,
I was gonna be the greatest.

My Grandmother told me how proud she was of me,
And one day I’d end up sitting by the Queen.

I got a couple of masters and proved I was the best,
In tennis and in business doing super well.

I was so fucking driven, and working all the time.
I never even noticed my life was driving by.

I found a man who loved me, the greatest man of all.
And all I did was fit him in gaps between reports.

I had my own apartment and he was in his own,
I worked and worked for glory, until I got it all.

But in my stupid bubble,
I strived always for more.

NO MORE!!! 
NO MORE!!!

For now I’m gonna boogie and dance around a lot.
My life’s gonna be mythic, full of love and pleasure.

I’m gonna be a kitten instead of bitter cat.

I worried all the time, but now I’m gonna smile.
My man by my side I’m gonna have some fun.

Travel and adventure  will be my middle name.
Dancing on the beach and flying to the skies.

I’ll do a job I fancy and I will do reports,
But all of this be second to live a life of love.

Cause that’s the life I want
OH YEAH

I'll live a life of boogie and greatness will be mine.
The greatness being happy and not giving a fuck.

So watch my heart exploding cause life is really fun.
So watch me twist & boogie while I sing this song.

This song is my intention, the life I want for me
So watch my twist & boogie and see me blast away!

This song is my intention, it’s what I’m gonna live.

Going for the greatness 
Going for success
Not my goal no more
Not my goal no more

My happiness and loving,
My path once and for ALL!
