Emancipation

This is a song for anyone
With a broken heart
This is a song for anyone
Who can't get out of bed

I'll do anything
To be happy
Oh cause blue skies are calling
But I know that it's hard

This is the last song
That I write
While still in love with you

This is the last song
That I write
While you're even on my mind

Cause it's time to leave
Those feelings behind
Oh cause blue skies are calling
But I know that it's hard

I don't think that it's the end
But I know we can't keep going
I don't think that it's the end
But I know we can't keep going

But blue skies are calling
Oh yeah blue skies are calling
Oh blue skies are calling
But I know that it's hard

It's been long old chap.

I am sitting here, eating my cereal sans milk contemplating going for a run, cleaning my room, checking my bank statements, and other things I know I will not do. To say that I am a procrastinator is an understatement at most. I think I have a fear of the unknown. That's it! I've got it! I do not like not knowing! Yet I love not knowing. Eh I am about as complicated as it gets.


I have also realized that aside from having a fear of disappointing myself, I have a worse one of disappointing others. In particular society. There is so much I want to do with my life that does not include being in the workplace, and yet I am spending the next for years at an institution to teach me the skills I need to do just that; be in the workplace... for the rest of my life. Tell me that doesn't sound terrifying! I have a hard enough time choosing what I want to have for breakfast in the morning, (you should have seen this mornings scuffle), how am I going to choose what I want to do forever?... FOR EVE RRRRRR.

The problem lies in the fact that I am a multifaceted person with a personality to match. I am never really consistent in what I wear, what I eat, who I like, what I listen to. My decisions are constantly changing. So how will I know if I choose a vocation now, I will like it when I am 20?, 30?, 40? Will I really want to do it till the day I cannot work any longer?
