Changing Places Won't Change Anything: Why Can't I Be You By The Cure


This is turning out to be another one of those weeks where I always wind up going without. Just when things can't get any better, they just got worse.  Sometimes I feel tempted to wish I was someone else.  Yet as tempting as it sounds, I know deep inside that won't solve anything.  Keeping that thought in mind reminds of the song "Why Ca n't I Be You" by The Cure.

Whether it's personal, professional, mental or emotional, it all comes down to dealing with problems.  Sometimes so many come at once that you feel you're alone and have nothing to deal with the situation.  During those times, you'd wish you were someone else.  Someone who has all and doesn't have to deal with any crap that life throws at others.  Someone who has everything you don't and nothing that would give you a headache is the type of person you'd wish to be at the moment.

Sadly, that's just scratching the surface.  No matter how perfect the other guy's life appears, that person is probably dealing with crap that is probably worse than yours.  You may not see it, but it's probably worse than what you're dealing with now.  In the end, you have to find the solutions yourself and wanting to be someone else is not going solve your problems.  When you think that way, you're just running away from it all.
