The other day, I came across these amazingly perfect lines:

"And nothing ever happens. Nothing happens at all. The needle returns to the start of the song and we all sing all along like before."

Simple lines, I know. May sound depressing to some people, but it just perfectly describes how i feel. At times, it just feels like things are going on, and you're just a spectator. Quite contrary to what Shakespeare said. It feels like you're an observer, of your own life! At times, it gives people a different view, a different outlook on things. But mostly, it just makes you feel like you're just so out of control, helpless. But sometimes, that's also a good thing.

It makes us come face-to-face with reality, I, for one, think this is a good thing. These moments remind me to embrace change, to look forward to new (maybe, better) experiences, not to succumb to the comfort factor of routine life. A small change can do wonders! Change in something we do, or how we think, or our general outlook.

Maybe, only when we keep singing the same song over and over again, do we relish the novelty of a new melody. Maybe, just maybe, that is why we aspire to make a new song. :)
