Day: January 3, 2021

I have difficulty letting go; whether it’s of past events, emotional pain, or of physical belongings. Sometimes, I go through a phase where I will just clean, purge and donate almost everything away. But I feel like it’s an endless cycle; of accumulating memories, feelings, belongings, then having to purge and clean them all over again.

And then a new cycle returns, so this cycle just keeps going on, and on, and on….

When I listen to this song, it inspires me to Let it be, and just let it go, so that I can be free and happy again. Letting go is just a matter of choice. For some, it takes a lifetime of trying, but at the end, they still cling onto the past with hurt, resentment and regrets. For others, it takes just one split second of making that decision to let go, and in that instant, they’ve let the past go.

Let It Be

The Beatles

When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
And in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

And when the broken hearted people living in the world agree
There will be an answer, let it be
For though they may be parted, there is still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer, let it be

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
There will be an answer, let it be

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be, be

And when the night is cloudy there is still a light that shines on me
Shinin’ until tomorrow, let it be
I wake up to the sound of music, Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be

And let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

And let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

When I first heard this song, my interpretation of it was of releasing your constraints in life. Live a life where you know of no boundaries. Dream Big, as even the sky can not limit you. We are living in a universe amongst many other universes. Our thoughts create our reality.

My other interpretation of this song is of World Peace. There is still so much that I have to learn, and so much inner work that I still need to do in order to improve myself, and my attitude towards humanity. But I do know this, I long for world peace. I long for heaven on earth. I long for a world where we all love each other and trust each other. I long for Nirvana.

Imagine

Song by John Lennon

Imagine there’s no heaven
It’s easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people living for today

Imagine there’s no countries
It isn’t hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people living life in peace, you

You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope some day you’ll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people sharing all the world, you

You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope some day you’ll join us
And the world will be as one

I have been hurt from love so many times in the past. And it’s all sorts of love, not just romantic love. There’s family love, parental love, siblings love, friendships love, colleagues love, animals love, romantic love, and the love of mankind.

I have been betrayed by love so many times in my life. Felt like my heart was pierced by a knife, with a piece of it ripped out of me.

But all wounds heal with time. It may take a long time to heal, and there may be a scar left. However, with forgiveness, empathy, compassion, and kindness, I can finally look at that scar with understanding of the truth, and no longer feel the pain.

The Rose

Some say love, it is a river
That drowns the tender reed
Some say love, it is a razor
That leaves your soul to bleed
Some say love, it is a hunger
An endless aching need
I say love, it is a flower
And you, its only seed

It’s the heart, afraid of breaking
That never learns to dance
It’s the dream, afraid of waking
That never takes the chance
It’s the one who won’t be taken
Who cannot seem to give
And the soul, afraid of dying

That never learns to live

When the night has been too lonely
And the road has been too long
And you think that love is only
For the lucky and the strong
Just remember in the winter
Far beneath the bitter snows
Lies the seed that with the sun’s love
In the spring becomes the rose

I AM Just Fine

ALL is Well

Release and Let Go

Live and Let Live

Trust the Process

《傳奇》

作曲：李健 作詞：左右

只是因為在人群中 多看了你一眼 再也沒能忘掉你容顏

夢想著偶然能有一天再相見 從此我開始孤單思念

想你時 你在天邊

想你時 你在眼前

想你時 你在腦海

想你時 你在心田

寧願相信我們前世有約

今生的愛情故事

不會再改變

寧願用這一生等你發現

我一直在你身旁 從未走遠

只是因為在人群中 多看了你一眼
