Living Is Simple

Today was a pretty good day, hey. Met up with Yuan Hong to study and it happened that Toh Ming Xuan and Eddie Ang could come too. Its been ages since I last saw them, much less talk to them. Ha. Edmund Teo and You Jin came along too not long after. That was what I freakin' missed so much about secondary school; the people who you can relate to and feel comfortable doing what you like. Damn it felt good to have them around.

I studied an acceptable amount, given my 4-day hiatus over the weekend and yesterday. It's just that I haven't really got the hang of all the variance stuff. More practise needed. Anyway I'm going to start running again tonight, after buying all the stuff I need to hang on while Mum's away. Wonder where I should run.

Life's alright, only when I don't think about things. I guess it's a skill I need to learn. I shouldn't let others affect me. Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoy once said, "If you want to be happy, be." Wow. He makes it sound so simple, and at the same time he makes me wonder whether it really is that easy to be happy.

Is it that simple?

Maybe it is, maybe not. It's pretty difficult for me to evaluate. I know the key to true happiness, and it's God. Key's lying right there on the table. All I have to do is pick it up and open the door...

Living Is Simple - Switchfoot

Living is simple
It's gravity
Gravity isn't so hard
Living is simple
it's entropy
Entropy, falling apart
I'm falling apart again

Living is simple
And breathing is easy
it's easy to do
Living is simple
And losing is easy
I'm losing my cool
I'm losing my cool again

All will be made well
Will be made well
Will be made well
Will be well

Is this fiction?
Is this fiction?
Hope has given himself to the world
Is this fiction or divine comedy
Where the last of the last finish first
Living is simple

Living is dying
Your mercy, Your mercy
Is how I believe
Living is dying
I can't understand it
I'm down on my knees
Confessing my needs again

I've had my choices
I've chosen today
I've had my choices
The choices remain
