Still Around

An ex-student contacted me yesterday and we talked for a while. He was telling me that a lot of his friends and people he knows are having relationship problems recently. It's like a frenzy of relationship issues. Relationships consisting of friendships, couplehood and family issues as well.

I couldn't solve any of his problems, but he told me at the end that he was glad he came to talk to me because I listened.

I just want to say, to whoever's reading this now, that although sometimes you may meet someone or some people who make you upset, make you disappointed, make you angry, there are still plenty of people around you (friends or family) that have been in the sidelines, supporting you silently all this while. Just because you don't hear from them often doesn't mean they are not there.

They are definitely still around. If you would only look around.

Here is a song (an old old old old song from MY generation, but hey it still works! :P) from the long-unheard-of boy group A1: Still Around.

I find the lyrics heart-warming and touching, especially when I run into relationship problems myself. I always turn to such songs to soothe my feelings and remind myself that however unloved or lonely I might feel at that time, I still have people around me who love me and care for me. I hope this helps some of you too :)

In this life of uncertainty

There are people that we all need

Someone to face you

With no disguise

In you there's a remedy

That makes every day

Seem trouble-free

No distance and no device

'Cos you hear the words

When no one understands

When my world has come undone

And I've lost my setting sun

When all I see are clouds

You're still around

When I fall into a tear

Inspirations disappear

You clear away that doubt

'Cos you're still, you're still around

Now I've stumbled on uncertainty

Never thought this could ever be

No contradictions

Left inside

When I feel the rain come my way

You give me sun, you're my brighter day

Intuition's telling me

To stay

'Cos you hold the words

When nothing's left to say

When my world has come undone

And I've lost my setting sun

When all I see are clouds

You're still around

When I fall into a tear

Inspirations disappear

You clear away that doubt

'Cos you're still, you're still around

I find the lyrics really meaningful. What do you think?
