Saturday Swings

Shout-out to today's picker-upper : Yes! by Jason Mraz uploaded to Youtube by Max Holanda.


It's one of those days again when I woke up more vulnerable than I can manage -- vulnerable to negative thoughts and paralyzing emotions. Visions of travel, adventure and escape keep replaying inside my head, almost uncontrollably. But these always get punctuated with reminders of clients to be impressed, deadlines to be caught, interviews to be accomplished, requirements to be fulfilled, relationships to be maintained, and (worst of all) income to be earned. Impressions of being trapped, of being stuck, of being restricted flood in again and overwhelm my being. And then I'm paralyzed.

Looking for an outlet, I try to confide. Maybe it's me, maybe I really have difficulty communicating how I really feel, but after a few moments of seeming lightness, I'm back to my dark corner again. And then, I found the below album and I find myself tapping and bopping to the beat. And I hope the feeling will last through the day until I regain my pretentious strength and elusive sanity.
