Let yourself go

Just going to put it out there: I've been a bit overwhelmed with stuff this week. You know when you've got so much stuff to do and so much stuff to organise and it's all piling up (quite literally, paperwork is piling up on my floor) and you just reach a state where you are like: "can't fit anything more in my head. It's too much to take in, so nup! I don't have anything. I'm on top of things. I am so in control right now"- all the while, you're just in deep denial? I felt that way when I was in my final year of high school and I feel that way now, and I know the perfect song for that feeling. The absolute perfect song, which is Green Day's "Let yourself go"

I'm not going to quote any of the lyrics because it's got a bit of swearing, in fact, it's quite explicit with the swearing, so I apologise in advance. But MAN! they are hitting the nail on the head. This song is the reason why music exists: it puts your emotions into words and transcends them to a sound that is shared universally, and you realise that you're not the only one who feels a certain way. Because I really have reached a point where I just don't want to deal with any more paper work or any more drama. However, the paper work and the drama just keeps growing on a daily basis, which I said to one of my friends: I don't know whether I should laugh, cry or just shrug and say "meh." But over the past couple of days, I've been listening to all of my Green Day songs (because they are one of my favourite bands for a reason, and not just because I have a crush on Billie Joe Armstrong) and I partly have come to the conclusion that I'm just going to embrace everything and laugh, then run. I don't know. I'm very confused and befuddled and discombobulated (my favourite word of all time) right now. So here is "Let yourself go" from the album "Uno!" (it also has an upside down exclamation mark in the title, but I don't actually know how to type that)
