Splender- I Think God Can Explain

There's a lot of things I understand
And there's a lot of things that I don't want to know
But you're the only face I recognize
It's so damn sweet of you to look me in the eyes

It's alright, I'm ok
I think God can explain
I believe I'm the same
I get carried away
It's alright, I'm ok
I think God can explain
I'm relieved, I'm relaxed
I'll get over it in the end

The scent of vaseline in the summertime
The feel of an ice cube melting over time
The world seems bigger than both of us
Yet it seems so small when I begin to cry

It's alright, I'm ok
I think God can explain
I believe I'm the same
I get carried away
It alright, I'm ok
I think God can explain
I'm relieved, I'm relaxed
I'll get over it in the end

I'm so much better than you guessed
I'm so much bigger than you guessed
I'm so much brighter than you guessed

It's alright, I'm ok
I think God can explain
I believe I'm the same
I get carried away
It's alright, I'm ok
I think God can explain
I'm relieved, I'm relaxed
I'll get off of your back

I think God can explain,
I think God can explain
I think God can explain

Holidays were meant to be happy and exciting. Its the time of the year where you relaxed, ease your mind and do some fun stuff. However, I'm not sure whether i shall enjoy the holidays. I'm dying of boredom right now. Nothing to do.

Yesterday night was awful. I should not be typing this but i want to let out my anger and frustration at the moment( no vulgarities though). Mum was in tears last night. She rarely did that unless she watches any touching movies but that night... She was really in tears when then television was switch off. She was talking to me when she suddenly told me something that makes her cry. It was painful to see a mother cry. I guess she just cann't take it any more. She needed someone to talk to and I was the only one left. (the rest of my siblings were asleep).

I felt so helpless...
Maybe I am helpless...

Sometimes i wished that everyone would be happy...
I wished that everyone would smile
And not having any problems bothering them
But i know such things would not happen

What is life?

-Because I have loved life, I shall have no sorrow to die. -Amelia Burr

-How is one to live a moral and compassionate existence when one is fully aware of the blood, the horror inherent in life, when one finds darkness not only in one's culture but within oneself? If there is a stage at which an individual life becomes truly adult, it must be when one grasps the irony in its unfolding and accepts responsibility for a life lived in the midst of such paradox. One must live in the middle of contradiction, because if all contradiction were eliminated at once life would collapse. There are simply no answers to some of the great pressing questions. You continue to live them out, making your life a worthy expression of leaning into the light-Barry Lopez

-Three passions have governed my life: The longings for love, the search for knowledge, And unbearable pity for the suffering of [humankind].
Love brings ecstasy and relieves loneliness. In the union of love I have seen In a mystic miniature the prefiguring vision Of the heavens that saints and poets have imagined.
With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of [people]. I have wished to know why the stars shine.
Love and knowledge led upwards to the heavens, But always pity brought me back to earth; Cries of pain reverberated in my heart Of children in famine, of victims tortured And of old people left helpless. I long to alleviate the evil, but I cannot, And I too suffer.
This has been my life; I found it worth living. -Bertrand Russell
