Hey, remember me, I remember you...

Walking Away...

I haven't been here in a while. Oh well. Sorry to those out there who've missed me. I hope you come back to read this... anyways...

Yeah, life goes on. Classes, work, sleep, people, classes, work, sleep, people... That's all life is when you live it this way.

And isn't that how we design our lives... to work that way? I'm supposed to spend the first 25 years of my life learning everything I can, despite the fact that I'll never remember much less use 90% of it. Then, I'm supposed to spend the next 40+ years making money so that I can eat food, own a house, drive a car, and relax every once in a while. All this, while trying to make lasting relationships with people who are doing the same monotonous things as me.

Is there really a point to it all?

Is our simple existence really worth all the things we go through?

And yet, I realize this, have the potential power to change it (I at least have the power to try), but I don't do squat. I get up every morning, go to school, go to work, maybe spend some time with someone, play some games or watch some TV, go to bed, and get up and do the same thing the next day.

I grow tired of the routine.


"Walking Away" by Lifehouse

---The sun goes down as the city lights
Pave their way through the darkest night.
Rain drops fall as an old man cries,
Never thought to ever think twice.

Of all he had, of all he lost,
A selfish life I guess comes with the cost.

Hey, remember me, I remember you walking away
Hey, remember me, I remember you walking away

Same old street just a different name,
Same old house just the families changed.
Picket fence, the windows stained.
Freedom spells by a man in chains.

Silence is all we have to give and
The memories of a life I wished we lived.

Hey, remember me, I remember you walking away
Hey, remember me, I remember you walking away

From all that you made, that you lost or threw away,
Trade it in for a brand new life.
But I cant, can't let go, cant turn around.
Hold my head high and walk away.

Hey, remember me, I remember you walking away
Hey, remember me, I remember you walking away ---


Feels like I need to walk away...
