Vienna waits for you ..

.. Is something a lot of people don't understand. But it is from Billy Joel's song Vienna. My absolute favorite song. At one point he sings - "Why don't you realise - Vienna waits for you". It's basically about someone trying to grow up too fast, hence "Where's the fire, what's the hurry about". "Vienna waits for you", means that the rest of you life will wait. Vienna symbolises the rest of your life. I don't know why I love it so much. It just makes me stress down a little, I think. That all the pressure, all the obstacles don't matter. I think it makes me think of myself many years ago. I've ALWAYS tried to grow up faster, because I've never really been happy with where I am "right now". There's always been something better ahead. Even now. And it kinda makes me realise that no matter what I do, I'm always going to be growing up at the same rate, so I might as well make the most of it. And I need to slow down a little. Everything will fall into place. I also absolutely love "Slow down, you crazy child, take the phone off the hook and disappear for awhile. It's all right, you can afford to lose a day or two". Cause that is exactly what I need sometimes. Sometimes when I'm listening to this song, I actually imagine how I would LOVE to go to Vienna - or Paris for that matter - and just .. chill out. No phone, no internet. No pressure and no stress. Sometimes you just let everything get to you, you know? And that is what creates this stupid circle that makes you burn yourself out. Still though, I can't wait for the future. Most importantly, to get my student hat in just 8 months! I just picked mine out today. Victory will soon be mine. In one of the hats, it is actually possible to have an inscription written in the shade. I was thinking "Vienna waits for you" would be a nice touch. But it doesn't really matter. I've anyway got it all up here (points to head).

God, I love this song. It can make EVERYTHING that worries me go away in an instant, and it just makes me so .. relieved. Vienna waits for me, remember?
