Welcome to this weeks Flow Feature! If you can pry yourselves away from the stunning photos of Florence Welch attending the premiere for The Great Gatsby you can enjoy this weeks Feature on Janessa!
When Janessa graduated from high school she could barely contain her excitement. She was finally free from high school and looking at a bright future at university. She had her bags packed and ready weeks before she was due to arrive. When she finally started classes she didn’t even blink at the loads of assessment they handed over, she was just looking forward to being able to study what she was interested in, finally.
What Janessa didn’t count on was what would happen to her friendships once she left for university. In school Janessa had been part of a fairly large group of friends. They all loved each other dearly, and spent all their free time together. Initially, they had all promised to stay in touch, to Skype every night, and make regular trips up to see her. As the semester went on the Skype meetings became fewer and the phone calls shorter. Before she realised Janessa was going weeks without any contact with her friends. To make matters worse she was finding it impossible to make new friends outside her course. As the semester continued Janessa became more and more cut off from everyone, including her family. While her course kept her busy most of the day, the lonely nights became unbearable. Janessa felt isolated, left behind and forgotten by her friend. Even though she had only been chasing her dreams, Janessa began to wonder if she had done the right thing by leaving. She considered leaving the course and running back home to the safety of her family and friends.
Janessa discovered Florence + The Machine at just the right time in her life. At the beginning of every class her professor would play music, and on the same morning that Janessa had started to pack her bags the song of the day was ‘Heartlines’’ by Florence + The Machine. Janessa sat in silence, ignoring her classmates while the song played. She couldn’t believe how beautiful the song was, and how relevant it was to her in that moment. She knew that this had to be some kind of sign. After the song was finished Janessa left
the room, abandoning her class. She sat in the courtyard for hours, remembering the lyrics that she had heard, trying to let them convince her to stay.
By the afternoon she had made her decision. She drove home and opened her laptop, downloaded Ceremonials and hit play as she began to unpack her bags. She left Heartlines on repeat for hours as she settled back into her room. She was not going to let anyone ruin her chance to achieve her dreams. Janessa knew it wasn’t going to be easy, but she was going to follow her heartlines until she found her happiness, and not let anything stand in her way.
Thank you Janessa for sharing your inspiring story! We are so glad that you are able to continue following your dreams thanks to Florence + The Machine. Remember, you will always find a friend in Flows.
We hope you all enjoyed this weeks Flow Feature! Have a fantastic week and remember to follow your own heartlines! Until next week…
