Why torture yourself when you know you're in love? Throw your pride in the ocean and be happy beneath the stars above. Confess your feelings to the ones you love and let's live before it's too late. Let's live. Why deprive yourself of the wonders of life? Time is getting shorter. There's no reason for those lonely nights. If you don't love me, you'll miss the boat. Let's live. Before it's too late, let's live. Why should you live in a sad state of mind? Problems, problems, problems all the time. Do your best to get them off your chest. Everything, everything, everything will be just fine. Love is nice, love is sometimes cruel. When you've been in love, you've been to the greatest school. So try and make an A, honey, and I'll do the same. Let's live, before it's too late.
Let's live.
I'd like to say I came up with the above "paragraph," really a song by the great Aaron Neville. It's important to value these advising melodies. Not only because Aaron Neville is a legend, but also because he's telling us something so important, something I took perhaps too much to heart: that an agenda is nice and makes us feel organized, but that love and living comes first. Hell, I named my forgotten blog after this school of thought, coined by an extraordinary pair of psychologists. Well, at least I think Larry David and Woody Allen are psychologists.
That's why I can't say enough times: whatever love you can get and give, whatever happiness you can filch or provide, every temporary measure of grace, whatever works.
