Marathon
You can do a lot in a lifetime
If you don't burn out too fast
You can make the most of the distance
First you need endurance
First you've got to last...
OK, flashback to high school. New yearbooks just came out, and everyone is passing them around for signatures for future proof that they had friends. And, in an effort to look and to create a legacy of being cool, I started signing my friend's books with profound lyrics from such rock greats as Rush and Led Zeppelin. Childish and stupid, I know... but then again, so is high school.
Anyway, I picked that quote because that's what the past 3 (4?) months have felt like. Things are going very well in all aspects... but like the pink bunny, they just keep going... and going. One thing after another, no rest for the wicked, blah blah blah. I'm not complaining, mind you; it's good to be busy. But it seems like by the time that all of the energy is spent on work or other commitments, there is little left for myself or those I love. The rewards have been wonderful, though, and I can't help but think that if I can just keep up the pace a little longer, there will be time to rest and recuperate soon.
More than just blind ambition
More than just simple greed
More than just a finish line
Must feed this burning need
In the long run...
