One of my friends felt troubled because she felt that she cannot be what she want no matter how she tried. Well, I post this lyric to cheer her up - an old song from Billy Joel, called ‘River of Dreams’ (I rearranged some of the wording, though).
In the middle of the night,I go walking in my sleep,from the mountains of faith,to a river so deep.I must be looking for something,something so undefined.But the river is wide,and it’s too hard to cross.Even though I know the river is wide,I walk down every evening and stand on the shore.And try to cross to the opposite side,so I can finally found out what I’ve been looking for...
Well, all I can say now is, just ‘walk down to the shore every evening’ and don’t push too hard to get across quickly. I believe God will bring you to the other side in style one day – and you will come out of this storm stronger and wiser, so this all will be another verse that rhymed well to the rhapsody of your life.
(It’s not always all sunshine and rainbows on the other side, though - the worries and problems will still chase you down the alley. But once you got across, you will be able to laugh genuinely despite all of worries, and all the problems will make you be more grateful for everything you have. And for me, that’s what a good life is.)
