Do you guys ever get the feeling that you're just waiting for some moment or some time that you'll suddenly and forever break out of your shell and become who you want to be? As all these short years go by (19 to be exact) it seems increasingly stupid and sad to be honest.
I keep seeing that the world is like some kind of cycle that repeats itself with the same types of people. Like there have always been a sort of you. If you looked hard enough you could find some old guy or lady, that 50 years ago was you, pretty much. There have always been like the skeleton of a person and as the times change the people change, somewhat, but deep down they're always exactly the same type of person. Thats why old music still makes sense today.
Old music makes me feel strange sometimes. When I can relate to a song sung 30 years ago and feel just how the person in that song feels it makes me think that was 30 whole years ago. Nothing has changed and nothing will change.
If I look back 5 years in my own life nothing really has changed. I still want the same stuff. I might be older and wiser, but the real deep down me has changed not at all. If you looked back 50 years has anything changed? Not deep down. The kids are the same and the old people. Substitute racism for gay rights and inject some rap and computers and you wouldn't be able to see a difference.
The only way to change something is by your own will. Life is some kind of repeating movie and you can play around in it as you like, but if you don't it will just play on as it always has.
Its like we're sitting down and watching life go by, instead of being a dynamic force within it.
We're on a conquest of life and instead of being Alexander The Great we're playing it like...a nameless person...nobody gives a damn about the name of a nothing. Harsh, but you know its true.
You can lead a horse to water...and you may have to beat him with a stick to make him drink. It's better to have beaten your horse than to have a dead horse because of dehydration.
