Should I just keep chasing pavements?
8 Aug
It’s just another random and a not so boring Sunday at work. Oh well, it’s been a while now since I last scribbled and thus, my art skills strike again. Yes I am a self acclaimed artist. I don’t know, but in moment like this (i.e bored), it comes out naturally, involuntarily as I would say.
I was holding the mouse, facing the monitor with an absent minded look. Slowly my right hand started to move, creating random lines, scribbling like a child who is still learning how to write. As random as I am, my hand created something I didn’t imagine. It’s pretty hard to sketch using a mouse (especially if you got shaky hands). But my hand didn’t give up, it continued scribbling. Then I was surprised seeing the output and don’t even know how to interpret it. And so I browsed for some nice qoutes, sort of description that would fit to the image my hand created, but of no luck. I tried again when suddenly I remembered the song “Chasing Pavements” by Adele. I would say I also like the song especially the chorus part that goes like this:
Should I give up
Or should I just keep chasing pavements
Even if it leads nowhere
Or would it be a waste
Even if I knew my place should I leave it there?
Should I give up
Or should I just keep chasing pavements
Even if it leads nowhere?
So what does Chasing Pavements really means? One question that has a lot of answers. Everyone is entitled to their opiniion. It really depends on how you understand the phrase. As per artist, the song was inspired by a particular incident of her life. She got her story and I got mine, we all do. Yes, at some point, I chase pavements. Going after a dream, a possibility and holding onto a thought, a feeling regardless of how hopeless it may seems. I get tired too. But there are just things I can’t easily give up. Believing that I will see a rainbow after a heavy rain. That every cloud has a silver lining. Even though there are no guarantees.
Pavement is endless.
Will you just keep chasing pavements?
