Yes, I sang a cover

I know it's off in many places, but please hear the message behind the song :)

              

May the angels protect you

Trouble neglect you

And heaven accept you when it's time to go home

May you always have plenty

Your glass never empty

Know in your belly

You're never alone

May your tears come from laughing

You find friends worth having

With every year passing

They mean more than gold

May you win and stay humble

Smile more than grumble

And know when you stumble

You're never alone 

Never alone

Never a lo ne

I'll be in every beat of your heart

When you face the unknown

Wherever you fly

This isn't goodb y e

My love will follow you stay with you

Baby you're never alone

Well, I have to be honest

As much as I want it

I'm not gonna promise that cold winds won't blow

So when hard times have found you

And your fear surround you

Wrap my love around you

You're never alone

Never alone

Never alone

I'll be in every beat of your heart

When you face the unknown

Wherever you fly

This isn't goodbye

My love will follow you stay with you

Baby you're never alone

Of Eggs and Baskets

Ever heard the phrase, "Never keep all your eggs in one basket."? 


Well, what it basically means, don't put your all into just one thing.  Always have a backup plan. In case, you know, one of your eggs...hatches, and turns out to be godzilla's eggs and starts stomping all the other eggs out and before you know it your basket is just this container carrying all this yolk and egg white and balut D:


Well, that was a LITTLE over-exaggerating but the point is clear. People always advice you not to pour all your hope into something. This applies to everything.  From investment and gambling, to luxury time, and even relationships.


Yes, even relationships. I've seen many friends who have done the opposite of this wise warning and instead used the 'all-or-nothing' approach to their relationships...well, it did not turn out well for many of them, but when it did work, it was magical.  


So is there anything wrong with putting all your eggs in one basket? Is there anything wrong with giving someone all your eggs (sounds funny coming from a guy..meh) and hope that this someone doesn't listen to humpty dumpty? It's a risk, a big fat risk, and well, honestly I know it's beyond the odds to find somebody out there that will really take good care of those eggs.  


Something about guys like me is that, well, we tend to love to be hipsters and defy the world by putting our eggs in one basket in hope that by giving everything we have, we wouldn't lose anything in return. I mean, you reap what you sow right? So, technically, we should reap the greater harvest because we sow everything we have in the same place.  We survey the land and find the land we think should be the best to plant in and we plant everything we have there hoping that everything would grow.  If we planted rightly, then we will reap the harvest; if we planted wrongly, then we reap nothing.  


I know it's wrong to keep all my eggs in one basket, but I just can't help feeling that maybe, just maybe, we will reap the greater harvest.  That little maybe is enough.
