Life Is Beautiful - Vega 4
Life is beautiful
We live until we die
When you run into my arms
We steal a perfect moment
Let the monsters see you smile
Let them see you smiling
Do I hold you too tightly?
When will the hurt kick in?
Life is beautiful
But it's complicated
We barely make it
We don't need
To understand
There are miracles
Miracles
Yeah, life is beautiful
Our hearts
They beat and break
When you run away from harm
Will you run back into my arms?
Like you did when you were young
Will you come back to me?
And I will hold you tightly
When the hurting kicks in
Life is beautiful
But it's complicated
We barely make it
We don't need
To understand
There are miracles
Miracles
Stand
Where you are
We let all these moments
Pass us by
It's amazing where I'm standing
There's a lot that we can give
This is ours just for the moment
There's a lot that we can can give
It's amazing where I'm standing
There's a lot that we can give
This is ours just for the moment
There's a lot that we can give

Commitment is always hard. We may want to do something, to take up a stand, but when faced by the overwhelming odds, unfamiliarity of the situation, or just complete illogicality of the matter at hands, we find ourselves completely beaten down by our own insecurities and fears. And we let everything slip, we let every single bit of commitment go.
I was watching Grey's just now. Today's episode featured the patient who burnt herself to get herself out of taking her Bar exams, because she was afraid of failing it again. Something about that patient endeared herself to me, because she was so real. I'm sure we'll see real life cases of such patients in the future, but yes, the point is that the fear can really overcome all rationality sometimes, and then you put your hand to the burner, let your hand become charred meat so as to let the pain distract you.
But at the end of the day, its important to know that everyone fails. Everyone feels alone all the time. What matters most is that you know that you aren't alone, that you won't shun away from help given to you, because sometimes, everyone needs some amount of help to make it through, someone to make sure you are ready, someone to make sure you don't slip up. And that someone out there will eventually depend on you to help them too.
If you think about it, you realise that Life, isn't as terrifying as people put it to be. And that though complicated it may be, its great to take a break once in a while, to smell the roses, and make a mental note of all the little, beautiful miracles that you see.
I like the song above. Featured in Grey's as the said patient finally accepts Izzie and Meredith's offer of help.
P.S: I bought the soundtrack for Grey's season 3 at a freaking ex price of 30 dollars. I must be crazy, but then, what's new? Next up, season one's soundtrack at a grand price of 41 bucks! HMV should award me with a 'most valuable customer' award or something.Labels: emo, grey's anatomy, music |
