When you reach the point in life where you're supposed to be stable,secure and satistied only to find that you're not, it really stinks. The worst part about it is when there are so many unanswered questions and bad decisions that plaque your thoughts day in and day out, it starts to take it's toll on you physically and emotionally. No matter how many drinks you chug down or how many walks you take, the longing and regrets just won't go away. The fact that all these things bear down upon a person results in an adamant refusal to just accept things, yet solves nothing. When I'm in this mindset(which is becoming more frequent}"Against The Wind" by Bob Seger helps me calm down a bit.
The song describes a free-spirited individual who was rebellious and always went against the norms of people around him. From the days of his youth to the cross-roads of his life, he still remains the same old rebel as before. Though the person is set in his ways, he does admit that there things that he has lost out on that would have made him complete and decisions that he regret making. Alas, for better or for worse, what's lost is lost and he's still running against the wind.
You can say that there's a little of bit of that kind of person in all of us. When we become unsatisfied or unhappy, it really stirs the rebel inside of us. Even at times when we achieve some form of stability, we often search for the things that we missed out or the things that we always wanted to have that would give us a sense of peace. The sad part about it is that we become so obsessed of being in control that we throw away other things that would have helped fill that incomplete part of us. As a result, many of us find ourselves alone and unfulfilled. I know that we should accept things for what they are and build on that sometimes there comes a point where it becomes unacceptable and when that point comes, then it's that time where we find ourselves running against the wind.
