I've been feeling unusually melancholy of late.
I've been very down on myself, thinking I'm not good enough and maybe that's why nothing right ever happens with me.
In short, being my typical melodramatic self.
So anyway, I was terribly low yesterday and I was just talking to a friend while I got ready to go to work. Complaining and pretty much whining non-stop all throughout until I had to leave.
So I picked up my bag, put on my shoes, did a final check to make sure the electricity and gas were switched off and left, only to find my friend waiting at my building gate with his precious Ipod in hand, insisting that I take it to work as I needed to listen to some music to feel at peace saying something about music soothing the wild beast and all that.
And me being me, I took the Ipod with really bad grace, grumbled about how my bag was already heavy enough and got into the cab, only to switch on the Ipod and hear Joey McIntyre singing 'Stay the Same'.
And my heart melted inside, and the entire fifteen minute ride, I lay back with my eyes closed, soaking in the music and the warmth of friendship and realising how lucky I was that I have a friend who cares that much. Who took the trouble of running over from his building, setting the Ipod to that particular song, and just in general understanding and being his usual wonderful self.
And more importantly to N, as the Dave Matthews Band sang in #34, "I'll lean on you and you'll lean on me and we'll be okay".
Stay the same- Joey McIntyre
Don't you ever wish you were someone else,
You were meant to be the way you are exactly.
Don't you ever say you don't like the way you are.
When you learn to love yourself, you're better off by far.
And I hope you always stay the same,
cuz there's nothin' 'bout you I would change.
I think that you could be whatever you wanted to be
If you could realize, all the dreams you have inside.
Don't be afraid if you've got something to say,
Just open up your heart and let it show you the way.
Don't you ever wish you were someone else,
You were meant to be the way you are exactly.
Don't you ever say you don't like the way you are.
When you learn to love yourself, you're better off by far.
And I hope you always stay the same,
cuz there's nothin' 'bout you I would change.
Believe in yourself.
Reach down inside.
The love you find will set you free.
Believe in yourself, you will come alive.
Have faith in what you do.
You'll make it through.
Don't you ever wish you were someone else,
