Loosen

Quote:

Don't you think that sometimes, people think they understand when they really don't.

Sometimes I just want to be left alone. I don't want to acknowledge the fact that I'm struggling.

I want to run away.

So just please, please just let me be and let me deal with my problems in my own way.


I re-read this short rant on a friend's blog, and it reminded me of some lessons on life, and on interacting with people. Lessons which I should heed, I guess.

Thoughts in our mind, and feelings in our heart are not crafted from words. If anything tangible, they are pulses of electric current swirling in our brains. Words are just an approximate description of them, and with all approximations, there is inevitably a margin of error. Sometimes, this deviation can be severe enough to spark off a misunderstanding.

It's always useful to take some time off The Daily Routine™, and take a step back to observe everything in a detached state, just so we don't lose sight of the big picture - the things that matter.

It's time.


You and I Both - Jason Mraz

Was it you who spoke the words that things would happen but not to me
Oh things are gonna happen naturally
Oh taking your advice I'm looking on the bright side
And balancing out the whole thing
But in often times those words get tangled up in lines
And the bright light turns to night
Oh until the dawn it brings
A little bird who'll sing about the magic that was you and me

Cause you and I both loved
What you and I spoke of
And others only read of
Others only dream of the love
Oh the love that I love

See I'm all about them words
Over numbers, unencumbered numbered words
Hundreds of pages, pages, pages for words
More words then I had ever heard and I feel so alive

Oh then
You and I, you and I
Not so little you and I anymore
Oh and with this silence brings a moral story
More importantly evolving is the glory of a boy

Cause you and I both loved
What you and I spoke of
And others just read of
And if you could see me now
Well then I'm almost finally out of
I'm finally out of
I'm finally dee dee dee dee dee dee
Well I'm almost finally, finally
Well I am free, free, free

And it's okay if you have go away
Just remember the telephone
They're working it both ways
And if I never ever hear it ring
If nothing else I'll think the bells inside
Have finally found you someone else and that's okay
Cause I'll remember everything you sang

Cause you and I both loved
What you and I spoke of
and others just read of and if you could see now
Well then I'm almost finally out of
I'm finally out of
I'm finally dee dee dee dee dee dee
Well I'm almost finally, finally out of words.
