[ if only life was simple ]

I listened to the same song six times today. It still plays in my head even when it's not actually playing. The songs that really stick with me, are always the melancholy ones.

I'm much more likely to listen to a sad song to complement a sad mood, then a happy song to complement a happy mood. Maybe this is because when I'm really happy I'm not usually sitting around in the dark staring at my computer.

Or maybe I just relish slight twinges of pain and longing. I feel more alive somehow when I know there's things I want that are distant; I think it gives me purpose and direction.

Yeah, if I was perfectly happy I wouldn't be motivated to do anything. I guess I'd get bored too.

That's kind of sad in itself, isn't it? That as soon as I attain something I've been longing for, it starts losing its appeal? There's got to be some situations where this doesn't apply.

I hope.
