Lo que se escribe cuando uno siente algo de melancolía

No hay tal cosa como la retribución o el destino. Hay que vivir con lo que se tiene, sin esperar recibir algo necesariamente "porque me lo merezco".

Quieres una mujer en particular, quieres una PS3 o quieres ser más listo, o quizás más popular a los quince cuando ya tienes veinte. Quieres una mejor apariencia, una venganza, o bajar de peso sin esforzarte mucho, o sentirte mejor contigo mismo para no tener que estar escribiendo cosas que nadie leerá.

La mayoría de esas cosas tal vez jamás las tenga. A veces basta con lo que hay o hacerse a la idea de ello. Pero en días como hoy, la sensación de satisfacción se transforma en la de una tibia resignación.

No siempre puedes tener lo que quieres, pero si lo intentas a veces, puedes conseguir lo que necesitas.

O algo así.

¿Será la falta de luz solar del otoño o es que debo drogarme con bebidas energéticas y café para no sentirme así?

Aunque ahora me siento un poco mejor. No es que tenga mucho tiempo que perder lamentando lo que no tengo.

I saw her today at a reception
A glass of wine in her hand
I knew she would meet her connection
At her feet was her footloose man

No, you can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
And if you try sometime you find
You get what you need

I saw her today at the reception
A glass of wine in her hand
I knew she was gonna meet her connection
At her feet was her footloose man

You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you might find
You get what you need

Oh yeah, hey hey hey, oh...

And I went down to the demonstration
To get my fair share of abuse
Singing, "We're gonna vent our frustration
If we don't we're gonna blow a 50-amp fuse"
Sing it to me now...

You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes well you just might find
You get what you need
Oh baby, yeah, yeah!

I went down to the Chelsea drugstore
To get your prescription filled
I was standing in line with Mr. Jimmy
And man, did he look pretty ill
We decided that we would have a soda
My favorite flavor, cherry red
I sung my song to Mr. Jimmy
Yeah, and he said one word to me, and that was "dead"
I said to him

You can't always get what you want, no!
You can't always get what you want (tell ya baby)
You can't always get what you want (no)
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You get what you need
Oh yes! Woo!

You get what you need--yeah, oh baby!
Oh yeah!

I saw her today at the reception
In her glass was a bleeding man
She was practiced at the art of deception
Well I could tell by her blood-stained hands

You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You just might find
You get what you need

You can't always get what you want (no, no baby)
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You just might find
You get what you need, ah yes...
