disillusioned
7 months already. i have a love/hate relationship with the city but even that is probably an unfortunate by-product of my own inner battles.
on battles
do i even have them anymore? i question whether i've succumbed to a way of life i loathe. seeking substance.
on education
high price certainly does not equate high quality. from the korean newspaper: the school kids most want to attend? NYU. the school parents most want to send their kids? Princeton. if only they knew.
on relationships
once upon a time, the idea of committing my life to someone seemed only natural. the notion has grown vague. paula was right when she said new york propagates the concept of self and inflates its importance.
on loneliness
despite my aforementioned self-absorption, i still find myself yearning.
on inspiration
i fear that i've lost sight of the bigger picture.
Ophelia
She makes believe the world is kind
And she's immune to its lies
In a perfect world she can be free
But a perfect world will never be
Little did she know Ophelia
The fairytale was wrong, the treasures were all gone
And everything wasn't how it should be
Little did she know Ophelia
The melody was wrong with an ordinary song
And she didn't know how it was meant to be
And she assumed the perfect pose
To guarantee that no one would know
She hears bells inside her pretty head
To mask what she won't hear instead
And little did she know Ophelia
The fairytale was wrong and the treasures were all gone
And everything wasn't how it should be
Little did we know Ophelia
The innocence was gone but the memories are strong
And we didn't know how you were meant to be
