mmm looks like i will be drowning myself more in music more this semester... travelling around nus alone especially, my new full-time companion will be my ipod, with whom i've forged a relationship since 2008.
and so, after sending oly off at the airport on sunday, it was the only thing i was listening to for most part of my journey home. but i felt like it was being a little unkind to me, with the song choices that came up one after the other (it was on shuffle mode).
on the other hand, perhaps it's just that the sad songs have so much more meaning now. and the songs which would have meant nothing on normal days, now just seem to hold more significance in their lyrics.
oh well, at least i can take comfort in the fact that the days leading up to oly's departure were well spent in preparation and all that. most certainly, preparation is important, because without it there is bound to be failure (said confucius). but also, once the boat has been built and readied, one simply has to let go, let it sail out far and wide into the open seas and let nature take its course.
with faith, it will return in the same manner that it had set sail in.
and birds go flying at the speed of sound
to show you how it all began
birds came flying from the underground
if you could see it then you'd understand
