The past couple of weeks have just been a little bit too crazy for me to even begin to comprehend. School's coming down to a close, tests are coming at me left and right. The funniest part about it all is that I've learned so much more outside of the classroom than in it.
You find out that the people that you thought you could depend on would be the ones to point and laugh when you stumble. You begin to realize that maybe not everything was as perfect as it seemed. You find out what it's like to get your heart broken by the one person that you least expected to break it. You try each and every day to find something good and honest to believe in.
...but without suffering, there would be no compassion. It takes some time, but when you take that moment to just breathe and take a real good look around, it's easy to see the good that can come from the bad. In finding out who would watch you take the fall, you also find out who the ones are that would hold out their hand, if not catch you. You realize that it is not the strive for perfection, but the understanding and acceptance of foibles and flaws that makes one perfect. As for a broken heart, I've heard the best remedy for that is a night with close, trusted friends, and an iTunes playlist that could melt John Mayer's heart. So it wasn't so much a search for the goodness and honesty that I needed, but more like life's slap in the face to show me that it was there all along.
So for tonight, I'll fall asleep to the skyline. Who knows, maybe he'll be falling asleep to it to, thinking the same things, singing the same words, and dreaming of exactly just who he wants to fall asleep with one day instead of the city lights...
