"Tell me life is beautiful"
STRESS. It's taking over my life. I am almost done with my entire undergraduate career. Believe me, it hasn't been easy. And it will remain difficult and rife with stress until the very end.
I have recently become addicted to Keane's song, "Crystal Ball." I am not sure if it describes my general feelings, the amount to which I feel overwhelmed by life right now, or just how harsh my experience of stress is now, but it really seems to fit. I want to share the lyrics with you so you can see for yourself (under the cut).
"Who is the man I see
Where I'm supposed to be?
I lost my heart, I buried it too deep
Under the iron sea
Oh, crystal ball, crystal ball
Save us all, tell me life is beautiful
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Lines ever more unclear
I'm not sure I'm even here
The more I look the more I think that I'm starting to disappear
Oh, crystal ball, crystal ball
Save us all, tell me life is beautiful
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Oh, crystal ball, hear my song
I'm fading out, everything I know is wrong
So put me where I belong
I don't know where I am
And I don't really care
I look myself in the eye
There's noone there
I fall upon the earth
I call upon the air
But all I get is the same old vacant stare
Oh, crystal ball, crystal ball
Save us all, tell me life is beautiful
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Oh, crystal ball, hear my song
I'm fading out, everything I know is wrong
So put me where I belong"
Right now, it's difficult to get everything together and pull through. I know I can make it, but it's going to be very difficult until I get there. Life is pretty darn stressful and my motivation seems to be decreasing by the day. I need a break pretty badly. I just have to keep telling myself "life is beautiful" (alas! No crystal ball for me!) and that I can come out on top (I know I can do this). That's all.
