$ - II

As long as we don't forget
the reason we set out to sail
The shore will come into sight
An almost holy sort of grail

But who really remembers who he was
in that lifetime lifetimes ago
And the pretty picture on the postcard
has long gone up in smoke

Won't you speak up, dear darling
I want to drink up your every thought
and remember each word you say
will it replace each one I forgot?

Ah, but Apologies and Bitterness
have no place here at sea
Every beautiful thing is flitting by
I know it can't be just me

So hold my hand, my friend
As we go down with this sinking ship
The world is coming to an end
And we're at the end of our last maiden trip.

.

End Of The World

It was the end of the world as we knew it.
And I didn't even know.
Now it's too late for goodbyes.
And we're left with the rest of eternity for silent regrets.

Was Neverland really only a dream?
I think we made it up inside my head.

How shall you complete the wall?
Use memories, Mr. Pink. Use memories.

Letter to a Friend

To A Friend,

Yes, things do get better.

No, it just seems like you're the only one. Things go wrong arbitrarily. As hard as it may seem to believe, no omnipotent power is picking on you.

Maybe sometimes you ARE just making a big deal out of it. Sometimes.

Wallowing in regret is pointless. Really. Learn from something if you must, but don't brood.

Appreciation and flattery are two different things.

Suicide is cowardly.

Sometimes, you are snapped at because the other person is annoyed with life. Not everything is about you.

Drinking to the point of death will not solve anything. So if you're drinking to "stop the pain", its just sad. Stop.

If you really want something, give it your best, not your all.

And if you can't change it, accept it.


But most importantly, Don't worry and (you will) be Happy.
Let it Be.
"Life is very short and there's no time, for fussing and fighting my friend".
Live and let live.

Peace.

Indecision

How do you decide whether you should do something or not if you can't fully comprehend the consequences?

I've always been confused about my indecisiveness, but I think I've finally figured out how this works. As long as I know what's probably going to happen as a result of my actions, I can decide. I can choose. It may take me a while, but I always can.

However, when the decision is to be made regarding something where the consequences are such that I either can't comprehend them at all, or something horribly mundane and unimportant, I never know what to do. You can give me a day or a month or a year, and I still won't know what to do...

All this revelation thing is fine and everything, but it doesn't help one bit!!! I need to do something and I need to do it now. Or I need to stop thinking about it.

"As you grow older, you'll find the only things you regret are the things you didn't do."

Damn it!

Oh well, when you can't decide, I think you should always look for poems, quotes or songs dealing with the question. The great secret (that you're better off not knowing) is that you never let them decide for you. You subconsciously choose the song/quote/poem where the choice that you want is made.

Thus, you get to do exactly what you want without even having to figure out what it is that you do want. It works perfectly.

I guess I know what I'm going to do now...
