If there is one metaphor for life, that's the Little Prince, my favorite book in the entire world.
You know, the Little Prince lives on a planet with his rose and volcanoes, and he goes on a trip to see the other planets.
Every character in the book is golden, but tonight I'll tell you about the baobab trees. You know, we each have a planet. The wind brings seeds to our planet, and little baobab sprouts may resemble small rosebushes. We may believe in them, we might think they will grow into something beautiful, we tend to them. But they are in fact baobab seeds, and if we let them grow too big, they will take over our planet and break it into small pieces. So we must uproot them as soon as we realize they are baobab trees.
Just take my word and read this book if you haven't already, it's just beautiful.

I can almost hear someone saying to me:
"Numb"
I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless lost under the surface
Don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
[Chorus]
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
Become so tired so much more aware
I'm becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you
Can't you see that you're smothering me
Holding too tightly afraid to lose control
Cause everything that you thought I would be
Has fallen apart right in front of you
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
And every second I waste is more than I can take
[Chorus]
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
Become so tired so much more aware
I'm becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you
And I know
I may end up failing too
But I know
You were just like me with someone disappointed in you
[Chorus]
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
Become so tired so much more aware
I'm becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you
[Chorus]
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
I'm tired of being what you want me to be
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
I'm tired of being what you want me to be
