up in the air

There's something liberating about the long-awaited rain (and rare Saturdays at home) that brings out the urge to (overcome that terrible INFJ inertia to) express what's on my mind, so here goes:

Since somewhere in secondary school, I've increasingly felt the need to be in the thick of things, making things happen, not wasting a minute of free time. But have recently renewed my pledge to try and stay home one night a week, cos in trying to fast-track meetings, and life in general, I've prob swung to the extreme of busy and not allowed time nor space for grace to operate. The main outcome being a lack of rest... That said, thank God for all the angels He's surrounded me with (visible and invisible) that keep me healthy and sane :)

Caught Up In The Air with KL yday, and gleaned that it's ok to not know where you're gonna land next. Not smth I can claim to be comfortable with yet, but still learning to appreciate that feeling only found in letting go of things beyond your control and trusting in God - being free indeed.

Little Superhero Girl
- Corinne May


I feel like a little girl
Trying to conquer the whole wide world
Everybody wants a piece of me
And I just don't know where to turn

I've got work piled up to my head
All I want to do is jump into bed
And wash away my troubles with lemonade
Play hide and seek with the boy next door
Take a trip to Singapore
And imagine how I'll make the world a better place

All I need is a good disguise
One where nobody can recognise
That I'm feeling so small
All I need is a secret weapon
I've gotta have faith
Zapping monsters into outer space
I'm gonna be a Superhero

If I were a little girl
Trying to clean up the whole wide world
I'd kick the bad boys back to school
Teach them fighting's just not cool
 
I'd give every kid a teddy bear
Turn starving people into millionaires
Break glass ceilings with dynamite
Sprinkle a little sugar and spice
Turn the bullies that terrorize
Into pink poodles that bark but don't bite

All I need is a good disguise
One where nobody can recognise
That I'm feeling so small
All I need is a secret weapon
I've gotta have faith
Zapping monsters into outer space
I'm gonna be a superhero

Little superhero girl, save me
Little superhero girl, save me from myself

I feel like a little girl
Trying to conquer the whole wide world
