I worried 'bout rain
And I worried 'bout lightning
But I watched them off
To the light in the morning
Marking the slope
Slung low in the highlands
(Where the days have no numbers)
If it's harmed me, it's harmed me, it'll harm me, I'll let it in
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
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.
i have noticed occasionally that some recs are turning into, dare i say, tweet-esque things…i think it’s easy to slip into acting like this is any old social media platform when it is not that; it is a special little place to tell people things you love ❣️🌀
