"How many times have you herd someone say
if i had his money, I could do things my way
but little they know that it's so hard to find
one rich man in ten, with a satisfied mind.
money can't buy back your youth when you're old
a friend when you're lonely or the keys to your soul
the wealthiest person, is a pauper at times
compared to a man, with a satisfied mind.
when my life is over and my time has run out
my friends and my loved ones i will leave there's no doubt
but one thing's for certain, when it comes my time
i'll leave this old earth with.. with a satisfied mind"

Hello, its Sheala here in the home stretch of the longest semester of my life. My mind is far from satisfied and it makes me yearn for a simpler life, things just seem so complex it's impossible to see straight through the jumble of information, technology and jargon.
These days I think too much about the wrong things, for instance the other day I actually did no work. That never happens. But when I do no work, I think and think and think too much. This time it's the whole idealistic view of life which seems pretty shattered these days. I thought university was fun, but it just feels depressing in my box, with my work and the glow of my laptop.
I also thought relationships are supposed to be fun, but then I look at what the stresses of something minor like university engineering can do to one, and it makes me think differently about what they are like in the real world. If people actually have goals they want to attain and work for they cannot possibly have a relationship that DOESN'T suffer. Or at least it doesn't seem that way to me, because people naturally grow apart after being with eachother for so long, and lose interest in each other. At that point what holds them together? The bonds of matrimony and their children. Do they stay together based on the promise they made to God even if they are unhappy? I mean, do they get a divorce and start dating again as many couples seem to be doing later on in life.
Life seems like something quite bitter to me right now. How is someone supposed to remain happy? Do something that they love to do right? But does that have anything to do with being with their husband/wife. So wouldn't doing that slowly drive them apart. The person fufilling their goal becomes preoccupied with the work and the person holding down the fort at home becomes resentful of the spouse who spends all their time on this goal.
Its like people don't really even need eachother except for financial reasons. And a lot of the time I think that's what it is. Though what do I really know, as a person viewing it from afar. Everything seems pretty screwy to me right now. I mean, sure you could get married, but it's never going to be what you think it is, when you get out of the hellish nightmare of university deadlines and commeradery you realize the world can be a boring place in the mundane nine to five life many of us will inevitably live for the next forty years.
