My Runway Never Looked So Clear

Those are the infamous words of RiRi herself from her song Hard. Actually my runway doesn't look all that clear but I hope to be saying these words one day soon. I am so ready for my plane to take off. I would like to know what does being Hard mean. Does anyone really know? People use to tell me when I was young that I had to be hard. I would like to say I am hard but I tear up every time I hear a Ray Lamontagne song and I hate sending things back at restaurants. So maybe not. But then again if you knew my life you may know that I have had to be hard not to go insane. Life can do that to you sometimes. I think we all harden ourselves to some degree as protection from the reality and the people that surrounds us. It is actually very sad if you think about. That life forces most people to become no more than hardened images, to afraid of what would happen if their real selves were exposed. We're just really walking shells of existence. Well today I don't feel like listening to Ray and crying or finding a solution to the sadness that is humanity. I'd rather bob my head and watch Rihanna shake her ass.
