I'm sitting on my bed right now trying soooo hard to write a good text, but every time I try I just look at my screen, think "nope" and just delete everything. It seems like nothing is good enough. Maybe there's something blocking my way. Let me see: I'm not hungry, I'm not sleepy, I'm not sad and I'm not tired. So what the hell is going on?
Maybe I need some motivation, something to make me feel a little more happy. That's it: I'll put some music. Now I'm listening to a song that I consider the most beautiful one when we talk about lyrics. The song is Drops Of Jupiter and it's from the band Train.
It talks about love and, most of all, it talks about discovering who you really are. In this song we see a lot of words related to space and Greek mythology (one of my favorite topics ever), and I guess that's what makes Drops Of Jupiter so attractive to me.
There's this part on the song that made me think about life:
"Can you imagine, no love, pride, deep fried chicken?
Your best friend always stickin up for you
(even when I know you're wrong)?
Can you imagine no first dance
Freeze dried romance
5 hour phone conversation
The best soy latte' that you ever had and... me?"
It talks about things that we like, that make life better and make us happy. Some of them are really easy to get, like deep fried chicken and some are harder, like love. And I'm thinking that there are days that we forget about these things just because we're always busy and running out of time. We forget to please ourselves. Now, I have a question for you guys: What makes you happy? What are the things that show up on your mind in the morning that make you want to get up and begin your day?
I know what is on my mind: my friends, my boyfriend, the candies I'm going to eat, the conversations I'm going to have, the musics I'll listen to, the laughs, smiles, hugs... Everything I like that can happen during the day.
One thing is for sure: Life can be a bitch sometimes (sorry, teacher), but we can't give up. We can't expect happiness to come and knock at our doors, we have to chase it. It's difficult to do that when we have a lot of stuff to do at university or at work, but I believe that every day we need to have a little something that will make the day worth it.
So, my little piece of advice is: try to take some minutes of the day just to please yourself, to relax and feel good. Just stop and breathe. Listen to your favorite song, talk with your friend, play a game, read a book, take a nap (I love sleeping <3), whatever! Everybody needs a break. If we don't do that, life will drive us crazy.
I guess that's it. This is not my best text ever, but that's what I could do under pressure and with something blocking my ideas (it's still there, I don't know why).
If you have some time, try to listen to Taylor Swift's cover of this song too. I love her and she made the song sound even cuter <3
