"draw a map, find a path, take a breath, and run".-lyrics by He Is We
I was listening to music, on a bus ride home today. As many times as i have heard the song "And Run" by He Is We, these lyrics struck me today. Especially.
I don't know why.
I just posted for the first time in 9 months a few hours ago. Now i'm posting again as a reminder of why i wanna post what i posted in the previous post of my posts of my many blog posts.
- to leave a message to anyone who read it.
(if anybody reads at all?)
- and to give myself the encouragement i had hoped to receive when i didnt have anyone to confide to
(not that there wasn't anybody, just that, i was ... well... scared)
------------------------------------
I forgot to mention this:
I realise that, yes we all long to be in love, to have a crush, to fall out of love, to have your own fairytale, to fall for that perfect guy/girl you've always dreamt about. And yes, it is difficult and hard.
and probably very dramatic when it doesn't work out.
and you lose hope in love for a long while.
you tell yourself you'll never meet someone as special as he/she was again.
but i guess eventually we'll all find that one person.
i mean, well.
look at my mum and dad.
they've never really shared about how they had gotten tgt (asian parents are shyyyyyyy :p)
and to be honest, i can't really imagine their dating days.
but even after so many years, after countless fights and quarrels, numerous complains and rants, they still truly love each other :')
and i see that in their daily actions.
my mum nags at my dad, and my dad gets mad
my dad disturbs my mum, and my mum gets mad
but then you see that smile they have right after all that.
:)
and i know someday, i'll find someone like that too.
someone that doesn't weigh in percentages of how much he loves me
someone who doesn't mind what i wear and how i look
someone who is proud to hold my hand in public
and someday you will too!
back to the lyrics:
sometimes you just gotta
"draw your own map" of possibilities,
"find that one path" you wanna go on,
"take a deep breath", tell yourself you can,
"and run"
just keep running
and yes you might stumble and fall,
you might run into a wall,
but you'll hear your name call
and standing in the hall
is this guy who's really tall
he'll take you to the mall
and thereafter, a ball!
then you'll say "hey ya'll,
i'm glad i had the gall,
to keep on running".
