"C'est la vie - such is life
Sometimes things happen,
Things so cruel,
Things so unfair,
You lose faith in life,
You lose faith in humanity,
You lose faith in yourself.
But sometimes you have to bite your lip,
Close your eyes,
Get a grip on life,
And pray for better times soon.
C'est la vie - such is life.
The waters have been rocky,
The wind has been fierce,
But you have to hold on,
Pray for calmer waters,
And hope for the best.
C'est la vie - such is life.
Things happen,
They happen to us all.
C'est la vie - such is life."
This AMV is dedicated to Toshi (aka Miju Maru), one of the kindest people I know on Youtube.
Toshi, I know you've been having a really hard time lately. I started this amv project several months ago, back when I was having a really REALLY hard time as well. I'm dedicating this to you as my way of saying you are not alone in this world. I realized the lyrics seemed to echo all that you have been expressing lately. It's as if the song was made for the both of us at this time.
I'm not going to lie, life can just really suck sometimes. Really suck. Friends and relationships fall apart, hopes and dreams shatter to pieces, plans go awry... and there's often not much we can do to fix it. But such is life, c'est la vie. All you can do is be patient and wait for time to make the bad things fade slowly until they don't matter anymore. Trust me when I say time is on your side, even if it doesn't feel like it, and things DO get better. No matter how lonely you may feel, you are NOT alone. It will be ok, I promise you that.
