// 'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony.

This life.
Try to make ends meet.

Life plays funny little tricks on you. It's as if God does that just to make sure you're paying attention to what's happening around you. It just knocks you back down to reality.

After waking up and heading off to church armed with a coat and no breakfast, I finally got there. It was cold, I was still tired, and even more... I was hungry. What surprised me though was that on my walk back home, I saw my dad and sis in the car driving past. They picked me up and off we went for lunch. Pretty normal so far, but it was weird. When I got back home my sister needed to work on her essay so she sat me down and played music while staring out the window and pointing out random details.

An airplane landing.
A bird flying by the window.
The mountains, all high and majestic.
A car zooming down the road.
Someone walking home by themselves.

It was then I noticed, and I quote : " Everyone walking around outside oblivious that we can see them from the window; which is why we are all connected ". Gets me thinking, of course I do that every so often. When no one is around, or It's late at night and I can't fall asleep. I plop down on the couch and just stare out the window. It gives you some time to think about things and reflect upon current predicaments and to put things in perspective. Calm is the sea when the mind is calm. I just kind of forget about everything, all your problems and worries when I do that. I look outside into the pitch black dark and I am trapped in the moment. I realize just how small my problems and worries are, as I watch the world go on with it's business right outside my window. We are only seperated by a thin wall of glass, their problems are just as real as mine are and I am not the center of the world. The worries don't automatically just go away, but hey. It helps.
