Musical Post 7: Let me love you

So, as I sweat away every morning running while the sun rises behind the Sugar Loaf Mountain (yeah, like a boss, right?), my Ipad fills my ears with lovely songs that I chose at some point. As I download several each time, some are happy surprises as 'Let me love you'.

At first I frowned thinking: 'this sounds like Bieber... How odd!'
It is him, with a very cool DJ Snake tune and at least two amazing lines:
1- burning on the edge of something beautiful
2- driving the edge of the knife

Cool, right?
I could write a whole story based on these two lines.

Let me love you

I used to believe

We were burning on the edge of something beautiful

Something beautiful 

Selling a dream

Smoke and mirrors keep us waiting on a miracle 

On a miracle

Say, go through the darkest of days

Heaven's a heartbreak away

Never let you go, never let me down

Oh, it's been a hell of a ride

Driving the edge of a knife

Never let you go, never let me down

Don't you give up, nah-nah-nah

I won't give up, nah-nah-nah

Let me love you (Let me love you)

Let me love you (Let me love you)

Don't you give up, nah-nah-nah

I won't give up, nah-nah-nah

Let me love you (Let me love you)

Let me love you

Don't fall asleep

At the wheel, we've got a million miles ahead of us

Miles ahead of us

All that we need

Is a rude awakening to know we're good enough

Know we're good enough

Say go through the darkest of days

Heaven's a heartbreak away

Never let you go, never let me down

Oh, it's been a hell of a ride

Driving the edge of a knife

Never let you go, never let me down

Don't you give up

I won't give up

Let me love you 

A friend is...

Hey,

Today I heard two things:

1- A friend is someone who has all the reasons to give up on you and doesn't.

2- The key to live well is to accept whatever comes your way.

 

In a perverse twisted way, these two truths complement each other - at least as I see it. And still they are not as truthful laws as they seem.

I do have friends who have given me a handful of reasons to give them up, and I didn't. I guess mostly because they didn't give up on me. Of course we carry scars, but those aren't bigger than the love we nurture. 

Other people I did give up. With grief, yes, but  complete aware it was for the best because I've been ditched along the way. I could make an extra effort and work on a comatose friendship but you know what? It's ok to miss the person (or the memory of the friendship) and still not want him/her around. It's even ok to keep liking someone you don't want too close.

 

Maybe THAT will bring me to the second truth: accepting.

Should I accept everything without a fight? 

Shouldn't I try to change what I CAN?

Yeah, I don't know... Maybe I'm not in the acceptance stage of emotional development, I'm still moved by reds and blues are hard to achieve sometimes. 

 

I guess the only truthful truth is that what's the best for me may not be right for you. That's where the actual law of life begins: people are different and we should accept that.

Oh!

Look at that!

Acceptance...
