ALIBI
You should never fight your feelings
When your very bones believe them
You should never fight your feelings
You have to follow nature's law.
I wonder if there's any truth to this song by Embrace. Amazing, amazing song by the way.
David Gray is the master of all melancholic things. He doesn't only make melancholic music, his newest video, Alibi, I almost couldn't finish watching it.
I can spend only so much time wondering what I really am. I can only spend so little time wondering why I did this or that.
They say time heals everything,
But I'm still waiting.
It's like my scars being laid bare open again in front of my very eyes and maybe I should just bleed and faint and not think for a second just to make myself feel better.
Shudder.
And this time, I really have to wonder why people like to put themselves into boxes. I mean, that really striked me as you wanting to put your life into a box, one that's so rigid that maybe you're a claustrophilia. I don't know about you, but at that very instance I was wondering can that box hold you in there forever. Can you really breathe? Are you really happy like that? Do you really want others to label you the same way you did to yourself? But maybe it's just me. Maybe you're doing that with enormous pride. Maybe you like the way you belong to 'somewhere' by being in a box. Maybe that's better than not being in anywhere at all. You have a place of your own.
Maybe I should start getting myself one too. And let myself know - At least I have to really verify I can indeed suffocate when you're in a box, decide that I don't like it, and from that moment on, I hope I'll be free.
Maybe that way I can carry my scars with a little bit of pride.

The week has been a wreck. Team 2 has been almost rewardless - it's been the worst week in team dos. Teaching round ended without even me noticing since doctors had to attend a workshop. Duh. I slept for 3 hours, woke up in a real zombie state, and the teaching round was non-existent. Sleeping too little - the fault's mine, but this week being zero - I really expected more.
Shudder.
