The One with What We Aim to Do

"I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
My breath fogged up the glass
And so I drew a new face and laughed
I guess what I'ma sayin' is there ain't no better reason
To rid yourself of vanity and just go with the seasons..."

-- Jason Mraz - I'm Yours

I've been lyrics-centric over the last couple of weeks. After listening to I'm Yours a couple of times today, I was struck by these words. They kinda relate to my penchant for overanalysis.

How sometimes, I stumble upon something great, beautiful, amazing...and fail to realise what's right in front of me.

How it can be as plain as the nose on my face, but I can never get my head around it.

How usually, when I do manage to see it, I worry too much about how I could so easily lose it.

How my OCD can cripple my mental resolve and hamper my ability to function properly.

More importantly, they represent what I need to do to get back on track:

CHILLAX. STOP THINKING. GET OVER IT.

Fuck the red lights. Foot on the gas, and speed right past.

"If there's something you know you can do, whether it's intubating a patient, or copping a squat on the roof, and your mind keeps throwing up roadblocks, just know you can drive right through 'em."

-- Michael J. Fox as Dr. Kevin Casey

Anyways, over and out!
