Spin

Last night, I listened to the whole of Darren Hayes' Spin. Listening to it, I remembered why it was the soundtrack of my life for four years at MUIC. ("If the going got worse and the worse got rough and days became endless and hard and tough, I'd be good enough." The mantra of my university life!)  I used to listen to it every single night, practically, but now at home, where there's other stuff to do, I hardly ever. It makes me think of friendship and relationships and life in general. Everything takes effort - even a favorite album, that helped you through heartbreak and crisis, has to be listened to every so often to help you remember why it was your favorite in the first place. Friends need to stay in touch and relationships need to move forward, otherwise, they lay around collecting dust and eventually, will be destroyed.
But, are there some relationships that aren't worth salvaging? Are there some people who you thought you wanted in your life, only to realize that it was a drain on your physical and mental resources? Maybe it's just me, maybe because I'm a moron sometimes. There are some people who just made a beeline for my life and I didn't have the heart to give them the boot, even though I should have. Then there are other people I dismissed out of hand, kicked out of my life before I realized how compatible we were. I guess I'll never know...:(

Final thought: Better than best would be simply to be good enough. Good Enough, Darren Hayes' Spin
