Never have I felt so... called out by a song from an animated movie before.
(Disclaimer: I am not currently overly stressed. The visit to Oceanside was extremely helpful in dissipating the built-up pressure of Ordinary Life.)
Today's earworm: Under the Surface (Encanto).
But wait, if I could shake
The crushing weight of expectations
Would that free some room up for joy?
Or relaxation? Or simple pleasure?
Instead, we measure this growing pressure
Keeps growing, keep going
‘Cause all we know is...
Pressure like a drip, drip, drip, that’ll never stop, whoa
Pressure that’ll tip, tip, tip, ’til you just go pop, whoa-oh-oh
Give it to your sister, it doesn’t hurt and
See if she can handle every family burden
Watch as she buckles and bends but never breaks
No mistakes....
