“Je te laisserai des mots” by Patrick Watson is one song I can’t quantify how much i’ve listened to, I do not even know the meaning of the song, all I know is it means “I will leave you notes”, but the sound, the melody, the coolness and the tune, does something to me. I want to leave you notes of what the sound reminds me of. The most beautiful thing is it brings out all my emotions and it helps me understand them better.
I will leave you notes, notes to remind you that it is okay to not be okay, it is okay to not have life figured out, it is okay to be confused, it is okay to not have dreams, it is okay to not want the same thing everyone wants, it is okay to want what everyone has, it is okay to feel hurt, resentment, hate, envy and jealousy. it is okay to have negative feelings. Do you know why it’s okay to feel like this? that is because we are humans and no matter how we try to hide it, we are made up of positive and negative emotions and its totally normal to feel everything. it is okay to not be perfect. No man is.
I will leave you notes to remind you to keep going even though it might seem hard and difficult, I’m here to tell you it is okay to take a break when you feel tired and overwhelmed, it is totally fine to cry, I cry a lot, people tell you not to cry when you feel down, “crying solves nothing” , oh how wrong they are!, for me it solves everything, when I wail and cry my eyeballs out I feel better, I feel relieved , I cry the pain out and I feel better, so please cry when you want to, don’t hold it in, hold it in only if you plan to cry it out later, when you hold it in, it makes your heart heavier. we do not want that.
Leaving you notes to tell you it is okay to share how you feel with people, if you think it would make you feel better, and it is also okay to keep them to yourself as well, do not be coerced into anything, do only what makes you feel better and comfortable.
The last note I would be leaving you is one of hope. The sun rising every morning is a sign of a new day, and for you, for me, it is the symbol of a new dawn, a new beginning, another chance to be better, another chance to try again. what you failed at yesterday, a new day is that second chance to go for it again. until we die, we are blessed with new days, new beginnings, exploit this privilege, you don’t have to get it right the first 500 times but the one time you get it, that’s all that matters. you keep trying, you keep getting better, that’s you taking one step forward, one step at a time till you get it right.
