by Simon & Garfunkel “No matter if you're born To play the king or pawn For the line is thinly drawn 'tween joy and sorrow So my fantasy becomes reality And I must be what I must be and face tomorrow So I'll continue to continue to pretend My life will never end And flowers never bend with the rainfall” Up until last year I couldn‘t wait to be an old lady so that I could just remember my life instead of having to actually live it. This song helped me get over that with it’s sort of hopeful negativity. Like, my life’s going to be whatever it is and I don’t have to force it into any specific shape.

Incredible song. When I was a younger lad I was obsessed with Simon & Garfunkel.

steelyfan1998 hazy shade of winter used to have the opposite effect on me. I’d listen to it constantly when I was 15. I was acutely aware of how young I was and how I’d never be so young again. It made me so carried away to be a young man, to be in the springtime of my life.

I'm sentimental, so I walk in the rain I've got some habits, even I can't explain Go to the corner, I end up in Spain Why try to change me now? I sit and daydream, I've got daydreams galore Cigarette ashes, there they go on the floor Go away weekends, leave my keys in the door Why try to change me now? Why can't I be more conventional? People talk and they stare, so I try But that can't be, 'cause I can't see My strange little world just go passing me by Let people wonder Let 'em laugh, let 'em frown You know I'll love you 'til the moon's upside down Don't you remember I was always your clown? Why try to change me now?

it literally depends on what state my life & mental health would be at the time **asleep by the smiths: i’ve had enough. i’m fucking done. i’m depressed, everything that could possibly go wrong has gone wrong i’m low energy, i‘m exhausted, i feel worthless. i feel betrayed by, not only some peers but, myself as well and probably even by God so i am accepting defeat “sing me to sleep im tired and i want to go to bed don’t try to wake me in the morning cus i will be glad to go don’t feel bad for me i want you to know deep in the cell of my heart i will feel so glad to go there is another world there is a better world” 😮‍💨 bars **little wing by jimi hendricks: i was in a good state of mind, content with life, grateful for whatever came my way just in a good place overall with friends & family. maybe i have a lover maybe i don’t either way im chillin i left the world happy, hopeful, & at peace so im accepting the end with that being said, i’ll either come back as a guardian angel or it’ll be my gaurdian angel speaking to me as i die/ transcend “‘it’s alright’ she says ‘it’s alright’ take anything you want from me fly on little wing” 😮‍💨 HEAT

Tired of lying in the sunshine, staying home to watch the rain And you are young and life is long, and there is time to kill today And then one day you find ten years have got behind you No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

I sometimes worry that I wouldn’t be such a feminist if I had bigger tits.

My toaster is having a bad week so she doesn’t have the energy to hold the lever down anymore. Which means I have to stand there pressing it down for three minutes making sure my toast doesn’t burn. I used to take that time for granted, now it’s being robbed of me by my broken toaster. Trying to give her grace.
