"Hold on...
Hold on to yourself
for this is gonna hurt like hell
Hold on
Hold on to yourself
you know that only time will tell
What is it in me that refuses to believe
this isn't easier than the real thing
My love
you know that you're my best friend
you know I'd do anything for you
my love
let nothing come between us
my love for you is strong and true
Am I in heaven here or am I...
at the crossroads I am standing
So now you're sleeping peaceful
I lie awake and pray
that you'll be strong tomorrow and we'll
see another day and we will praise it
and love the light that brings a smile
across your face
Oh god if you're out there won't you hear me
I know that we've never talked before
oh god the man I love is leaving
won't you take him when he comes to your door
Am I in heaven here or am I in hell
at the crossroads I am standing
So now you're sleeping peaceful
I lie awake and pray
that you'll be strong tomorrow and we'll
see another day and we will praise it
and love the light that brings a smile
across your face...
Hold on
hold on to yourself
for this is gonna hurt like hell..."

This is Sarah Mclachlan's "Hold On" and I watched her sing live almost 2 hours before I wrote the blog and immediately I broke down...crying like a stupid person. Anyway, she was inspired by this Canadian film called "The Promise Kept". It's about this brave woman who found out that the man she was going to be married was HIV-positive and the movie kinda showed the lives of the couple married and living together till the man got progressivly sicker and how the woman continued to fend and stayed with him till the day God took him. If I may quote Sarah, "the movie offered a sense of clarity and honesty." People go through dark times, it's the way it always has been and I don't think it would be any difference centuries from now. I guess the key lies in how you deal with it and the kind of changes you go through and how it made you a stronger person. Anyway, I've not watched the film so I don't really got to experience but Sarah did and she wrote a beautiful song.

Anyway, yesterday was the day I'm finished with a lot of things, my term papers to name a few. I'm all the Yoo and Hoo! And yes, in a mere an hour and a half, 2 papers. And guess what? The tattoo's done too, yes, all done! Now I know never to sit through a session if you're starving or sleep-deprived cause it'll hurt like hell!! Right now, we're back to the money issue...
