"You say life is a dream where we can't say what we mean, maybe just some roadside scene that we're driving past. There's no telling where we'll be in a day or in a week and there's no promises of peace or of happiness..."
"Well is this why you cling to every little thing and pulverize and derrange all your senses. Maybe life is a song but you're scared to sing along until the very ending..."
"Oh, it's time to let go of everything we used to know, ideas that strengthen who we've been. It's time to cut ties that won't ever free our minds from the chains and shackles that they're in..."
"Well life is a dream 'cause we're all walking in our sleep, you could see us stand in lines like we're dead upon our feet. And we build our house of cards and then we wait for it to fall always forget how strange it is just to be alive at all..."
*JUST A THOUGHT: This is a really beautiful song that summarizes a lot of things about life like taking it for granted and not living up to our full potential mainly because we are afraid of the risks it implies or afraid of letting go of things, the past or something that is holding us down.
Life is unpredictable and maybe that is why plans are somehow unnecessary, I've already touched this point in a previous post, it is nice to have them but the truth is we don't know what will happen. To me life is made out of moments, and it could occur that in one you want something so bad, but in another something happens and modifies your perspective, as well as your plans. The latter does not happen all the times, things may change in life but sometimes our objective is the same, just now harder to reach.
Lately my life has been, let's call it weirder, weirder than it had been being. I find myself in a turning point, where I must choose what I want out of my life, how I want it to be. It all comes down to being afraid, thinking about the risks, implications and limitations, after all it is a big choice. Will I have what it takes? Will someone be supportive? Will I succeed? Will I fail? Will I end up alone? and HOW will I do it? Are some of the questions that run through my mind these days. Are there some warning signs? I think the first and most important sign is that I'm not truly content with where I am right now and casually there is this poster near my desk that says something like that "You'll never discover new oceans as long as you are afraid to walk away from the coast." Should that be a second sign? I don't even now if I should take them as signs or not, but what if the things I have been coming across, watching, listening and feeling are supposed to mean something? What if is a wicked way of fate of telling me "screw this, go for it"? Time and me will tell.

P.S. The following has nothing to do with the post but needs to be written. In order for people to complain about something or to recriminate somebody, they must remember what their actions have been in the past so they can avoid being incongruous as perhaps you once did what you are complaining about or recriminating. At least I did stuff and did say goodbye...
And remember... If you liked it, buy it...
