I don’t care what you say anymore, this is my life
Go ahead with your own life and leave me alone…
I’ve heard this song numerous times, but the lyrics resonated with me a little differently today. After hearing the song, I looked up the lyrics and also loved the following verse:
They will tell you you can’t sleep alone
In a strange place
Then they’ll tell you you can’t sleep
With somebody else
Ah, but sooner or later you sleep
In your own space
Either way it’s okay
You wake up with yourself
So often, in other people’s eyes, we are damned if we do, damned if we don’t. Yet, in the end “you wake up with yourself,” so what is most important is that YOU are okay with your decision and that you live a life that is authentic and real to you. A good mantra to help you let go of the “shoulds” and lead the life that you want to live. I’m going to use it as a reminder to stop comparing my life to others, and just move forward with the life that makes sense for me. Yes – all of this from Billy Joel on a Tuesday morning. And – on a side note – how amazing is this video from NYC in the mid-80s? Brilliant.
