5th Jun 2012 (給十年後的我 – Fiona Sit)

Today’s song is “給十年後的我” by Fiona Sit. Many things came up in my mind today and these things remind me of this song. The direct English translation of the title is “To myself 10 years in the future”.

This song is about questioning ourselves about life. In the lyrics, it is written like we are wondering about our future. It questions whether we regret on anything that we have done in the last ten years, whether we have become more mature, whether we have forgotten about our dream and working day to day just for money and whether we are happy. The last line said, don’t wait until ten years later to think whether you are happy or not, basically telling us that if we are not happy with our life now, we should do something about it to fix it. The lyrics really touch me today, I have been thinking a lot about life lately. I am at one of the lowest point in my life, very unhappy, to some extent I think I am depress as well, sometime I can’t sleep at night. I have been working very hard in the last few years to try to achieve a goal, but only in the last few months something told me that what I have done was completely wrong, and the effort that I put in is completely wasted. I feel that I could never reach my goal again, I am tired and no longer motivated. Today, I have heard story about someone that is in a similar shoes. To certain extent, he is in a worse situation. But he managed to find a way out for himself, maybe he hasn’t reach his goal, but at least he didn’t lose everything. Another person that I know of, who I never thought that he would reach his goal, have told me that he is now in the ending phase, so he will soon get what he wanted. This make me feel that sometime things are quite unfair, Me and the first friend have put in so much effort and sacrifice to try to achieve our goal, yet, we are not close to it, yet someone else who don’t put in as much effort is getting it. Then I have heard the song that I chose today, although it is not directly related, but it make me wonder what will happen to the 3 of us in ten years time. Will his success today mean he will be successful in the next 10 years? and what will this incident done to me and my other friend?

Hope you will enjoy the song for today
