NOTES:

3. Don't hate.

11. This song reminds me of when I got home from my mission. Did you know I left for my mission almost exactly 4 years ago? Weird.

12. Interesting translation fact: the verb "florecer" means "to bloom" or "to flourish". The nonsense phrase "flor es ser" seems to mean "flower is to be", and not "is to be" like it will happen, but that flower is the essence of being. cool.

15. If someone could arrange for this song to play while I strut across the stage on the 19th, that would be just dandy.
