The word balancing got me thinking. People always say that things are best in moderation, meaning we must learn to balance things within our lives. Then I also remembered that my astrological sign as well as Drake's happens to be Libra. The sign of the Libra is coincidentally illustrated through the use of the scale.
I find it funny that Libras are described as having a secret desire to live an easy uncomplicated life because for me nothing could be more true. I always say I am a person who strives to make everything in life convenient. I work tirelessly to balance things in my life so that everything runs as close to perfect as possible. For example recently I spent hours upon hours on my schedule for the spring semester so that my classes would all be in same general vicinity and back to back, I wanted my semester to be easy and uncomplicated. Many call me lazy but I like to look at it like this: why exhaust more effort than need be?
I'm not one to follow my zodiac sign but I did find it eerie that my horoscope for today was dead on. People always say that horoscopes are written in such a manner that no matter what any sign could fit any person's life at any given time. The assumption is that they say general and ubiquitous things like; today you will encounter a problem....hahahaha However I read the horoscopes for the other 11 signs and none of them came close to fitting me as perfectly as my own sign did. The Libra's horoscope for today reads:
"Even if you don’t have secrets, when you keep your thoughts to yourself it can seem like you are hiding something. Further discussions about your future are due to take place. Tighten the purse strings, it’s time to consolidate. "
Just today my family not so jokingly accused me of having a secret life because I don't talk to them as much as I used to. I guess in the future I do need to "consolidate" with my family more.
The two things I must balance on a daily basis are school and my own happiness while Drake must balance fame and normalcy. "Fame is like a drug I've taken too much of" -Drake
And just like real drugs it is so easy to get hooked on an impossible to quit, which is why Drake fears fame so much. Its a recurring theme/fear in his songs is that he will get caught up in the superficial life and lose sight of humble roots. He fears mostly that he will never find a mate that will love him for who he is rather than just Drake, the record breaking rapper, we hear blasting on the radio.
"Bein part of this life I feel like I'm bound to end up with somebody that's been with everybody" -Drake
"I fall in love with girls caught up in superficial glamour" -Drake
When I say I must balance school and being happy I basically mean that school for the most part is the sole source of any unhappiness. I want to do well and get good grades but at the same time I still want to have a social life and not spend eternity studying and writing papers.
