Just Like a Pill

The good thing about an I-pod shuffle is the element of surprise. As it is without a screen display, I just never know what song will come up. My current mix of uploaded songs include a lot of old school hiphop, some 80's, r&b and cool alternatives.

So, I was drinking my cuppa Belgian chocolate from The Coffee Bean, contemplating on the early morning news which I got, and this Pink song comes up... Do you notice how every song seems to speak to you when you feel sad or maybe a little broken hearted? This song is no exception. It's pretty rock-ish but as I listened to it, in my current frame of mind (and heart), the words just gripped me...

I'll think I'll get out of here
Where I can run just as fast as I can
To the middle of nowhere
To the middle of my frustrated fears
And I swear you're just like a pill
Instead of making me better,
You keep making me ill
You keep making me ill.
- From "Just like a Pill" by Pink

I have been in this situation a few times in the past. I learned that no matter how much you love someone, and no matter how much you believe that this person is a "can't-live-without", sometimes, the reality is that having this person in your life hurts more than it helps, and at some point, you just have to let go. (Wow, what a run-on sentence).

It's sort of happening again... But, as Rocky (and Beyonce in "Irreplaceable" ) would say... "To the left, to the left" .

Moving on....
