When I was in my early 20s, I had some pretty amazing friends and moments in Chicago. After all the fancy VIP experiences, Las Vegas trips, the boats, the hot spots to be-the beauty truly lies in some of the simplest moments at a local bowling alley where our music came from the juke box.
Often our friend would play a specific song because his name was in it and it was tradition to play this song at least once a night.
These specific moments with that juke box and that one song I hope to always remember. What stands out is our connection and passion with one song. When this song came on we joined close together-locking our arms together and standing in a circle. We would sing like we knew this was true. This was how we were suppose to live. The chorus was something we shouted out in each other's faces and we meant it... We meant it.
It's my Life
It's now or never
I'm not gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
Cuz It's...my...life
-Bon Jovi-
In Roatan, this song was played by a local who just happens to love Bon Jovi.
