Three Little Words

Stress is a funny little thing. It sneaks up on you and swallows you whole until you can't breath and then suddenly disappears into the great unknown. Right now I feel emotionally drained and physically tired; it's the end of the semester and those final tests are coming in fast and furiously. I have tried many things, but the best solution for me has been to take "breaks" from whatever stresses me out. Most of my breaks are an assortment of chillings with friends (getting coffee, talking, watching a movie, etc.). This song was playing while I was chilling in my friends room and I immediately got excited. It was as if God was telling me that yes grades are important, yes finding money to buy a house is important, yes packing up your stuff in your dorm room is important, but that is not more important than building relationships. God has blessed me with sooooooo many good friends and sooooooooo many memories to cherish. This is not the time to let stress or the problems in my life consume me; it is the time to praise God and thank him.

"L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N." by Noah and the Whale

... From the hard time living 'til the Chelsea days
From when her hair was sweet blonde 'til the day it turned gray
She said :

[Chorus]
L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.
You've got more than money and sense, my friend
You've got heart and you go in your own way
L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.
What you don't have now will come back again
You've got heart and you go in your own way

Some people wear their history like a map on their face
And Joey was an artist just living out of case
But his best word was his letters home

His standard works of fiction about imaginary success
The chorus girls in neon were his closest things to friends
But to a writer, the truth is no big deal

From the hard time living to the sleepless nights
And the black and blue body from the weekend fights
He'd say

[Chorus]
L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.
You've got more than money and sense, my friend
You've got heart and you go in your own way
L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.
What you don't have now will come back again
You've got heart and you go in your own way

[Bridge]
On my last night on earth, I won't look to the sky
Just breathe in the air and blink in the light
On my last night on earth, I'll pay a high price
To have no regrets and be done with my life

[Chorus]
L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.
You've got more than money and sense, my friend
You've got heart and you go in your own way
L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.
What you don't have now will come back again
You've got heart and you go in your own way
