Kitelike
I'm a man, I'm not a child...
A man who sees
The shadow behind your eyes
Who's to say where the wind will take you?
Who's to say what it is will break you?
I don't know, where the wind will blow...
Who's to know when the time has come around?
I don't want to see you cry
I know that this is not goodbye.
- Kite (U2 - All That You Can't Leave Behind)
There seems to be a limit to how much you can't leave behind. There's only so much that you can take with you. There is much more you want to take with you than you ever knew. There is so much more accumulating in your bag.
I would probably never be able to leave it all behind. I would probably never be able to classify what it is that I can't leave behind. My list would probably outgrow everyone else's. I probably would be, or probably am, the most nostalgic person around.
I live in the past. I lurk in the shadows of the times gone by. I try to go back to the immediate past. I long to live my life in rewind. I wish to relive all those moments with my loved ones over and over again. Also, I know that this is not possible.
However, it is these memories that are mine. All that I can't leave behind. And I know this for sure, that there is no limit to the amount of past my present can carry along to the future.
I think that I can see the shadow behind my own eyes. I would never want to know where the wind would blow me. I would not want to know what is capable of breaking me. All I know is that I am able to believe. Believe that this, or for that matter any moment gone by, will not be my goodbye.
All I know, is that I am the kite whose string shall never come undone.

I did not find it strange and you may yourself just dismiss these thoughts as random musings.It was perfectly sense to me,when I think about getting bogged about things changing way too soon for my liking.The present already past,I dont know where the wind will blow......
