you need both blessings and difficulties, because one without the other is neither. you dont realise how much you have until you dont have it anymore. and of course, you need the obstacles to know whats comfort during better times.
how true.
sometimes i already cannot tell whether im stressed or not. maybe sometimes i am, and sometimes im not. a part of me wants to fight this out to prove to you. but another part sees no point in fighting.
but whatever it is, before i figure that out myself, i shall seek joy with each passing day, especially amidst all the crazy studying.
and studying at the reading room was quite productive. (: just that im always running out of time. haha.
marching bands of manhattan.
if i could open my arms
and span the length of the isle of Manhattan,
i'd bring it to where you are
making a lake of the East River and Hudson
if I could open my mouth
wide enough for a marching band to march out
they would make your name sing
and bend through alleys and bounce off all the buildings.
i wish we could open our eyes
to see in all directions at the same time
oh what a beautiful view
if you were never aware of what was around you
and it is true what you said
that I live like a hermit in my own head
but when the sun shines again
i'll pull the curtains and blinds to let the light in.
sorrow drips into your heart through a pinhole
just like a faucet that leaks and there is comfort in the sound
