New Soul

I changed the name of my blog to New Soul because after thinking about the lyrics of Yael Naim's song, "New Soul," I found it to be quite applicable to my existence...and to the existence of every other living soul.

I'm a new soul

I came to this strange world

Hoping I could learn a bit 'bout how to give and take

But since I came here, felt the joy and the fear

Finding myself making every possible mistake

See I'm a young soul in this very strange world

Hoping I could learn a bit 'bout what is true and fake

But why all this hate? Try to communicate

Finding trust and love is not always easy to make

This is a happy end

Cause you don't understand

Everything you have done

Why's everything so wrong

This is a happy end
Come and give me your hand
I'll take you far away
I'm a new soul
I came to this strange world
Hoping I could learn a bit 'bout how to give and take
But since I came here, felt the joy and the fear
Finding myself making every possible mistake
New soul...
In this very strange world...
Every possible mistake
Possible mistake
Every possible mistake
Mistakes, mistakes, mistakes...

Life is trial and error. There isn't any easy way to get through it (unless you don't take chances, I suppose...but that's fairly boring) without making mistakes. It's what one learns from the mistakes that one made that determines the type of person he or she is.
