Greek, 29, depressed and unemployed.

  Today I feel angry. As a matter of fact lately I've been feeling angry most of the time. Angry and sad. Sometimes I feel like I hate everybody around me except maybe my cat. Or my boyfriend's dog. Or my niece who will be seven on the 8th of December.
 December and Christmas. I always liked Christmas time, except the time when I was mad with God for my father's death. But these days I was actually looking forward to decorating the Christmas tree. Although I wouldn't be able to buy any new decorations just like last year or the year before that. Who needs new Christmas decorations when you can use the same ones as the ones you used ten years ago, right? Christmas is about family and friends and love and joy and FUCK IT. Why can't I buy a new fucking Christmas tree with brand new shinning lights like some people do? Why can't I go to London or Paris? I can't even afford the fucking ticket for the Nutcracker ballet. And you know what? I know that we live in a shit world where only a few have the money and the power but it really sucks to be on the other side. And what sucks even more is not to be able to do something to change your life just because some decided that the country I live in must be bought out without giving a shit about destroying a few million people in the process. 
 Forget about decorations and travels and presents you will say, as long as you have each other. Well WRONG. The first thing you learn about being poor is that friends and acquaintances magically disappear. They don't want to make you feel bad just because they can afford going out for drinks twice a week and you don't. You on the other hand don't want to make them feel bad just because they have a job and you don't. So the phone rings fewer times and finally stops ringing at all. People don't want to hang around people who have problems. That is the sad truth. That's why you learn to hide the fact that you are poor. You can't say hi, I'm poor, how about you? As you can't say hi, I'm Lila and I have depression. I remember a time when I said it to a girl, well not exactly like that, and she laughed and asked me what I meant. I said the one which is diagnosed and goes with pills.I remember her face. People don't stay around people who have depression either. But that's another story.
 I don't know the exact reason for writing this but I do know that I don't feel so angry any more. This is the point where I would say let us all wish for the best and have a Merry Christmas but I won't. Because there are so many out there who deserve shoving the Christmas tree up their butt.

Μπήκαν στην πόλη οι οχτροί

Μπήκαν στην πόλη οι οχτροί
τις πόρτες σπάσαν οι οχτροί
κι εμείς γελούσαμε στις γειτονιές
την πρώτη μέρα

Μπήκαν στην πόλη οι οχτροί
αδέρφια πήραν οι οχτροί
κι εμείς κοιτούσαμε τις κοπελιές
την άλλη μέρα

Μπήκαν στην πόλη οι οχτροί
φωτιά μας ρίξαν οι οχτροί
κι εμείς φωνάζαμε στα σκοτεινά
την τρίτη μέρα

Μπήκαν στην πόλη οι οχτροί
σπαθιά κρατούσαν οι οχτροί
κι εμείς τα πήραμε για φυλαχτά
την άλλη μέρα

Μπήκαν στην πόλη οι οχτροί
μοιράσαν δώρα οι οχτροί
κι εμείς γελούσαμε σαν τα παιδιά
την πέμπτη μέρα

Μπήκαν στην πόλη οι οχτροί
κρατούσαν δίκιο οι οχτροί
κι εμείς φωνάζαμε ζήτω και γεια
σαν κάθε μέρα...

It's never over

Hey, Orpheus!
I'm behind you
Don't turn around
I can find you

Just wait until it's over
Wait until it's through
And if I call for you
Oh, Orpheus!
Just sing for me all night
We'll wait until it's over
Wait until it's through

You say it's not me, it's you

Hey, Orpheus!
De l'autre côté de l'eau
Comme un écho
Just wait until it's over
Wait until it's through

And if I shout for you
Never doubt
Don't turn around too soon
Just wait until it's over
Wait until it's through

It seems so important now
But you will get over
It seems so important now
But you will get over
And when you get over
When you get older
Then you will remember
Why it was so important then

Seems like a big deal now
But you will get over
Seems like a big deal now
But you will get over
When you get over
And when you get older
Then you will discover
That it's never over

Hey, Eurydice!
Can you see me?
I will sing your name
Until you're sick of me
Just wait until it's over
Just wait until it's through

But if you call for me
This frozen sea
It melts beneath me
Just wait until it's over
Wait until it's through

Seems like a big deal now
But you will get over
Seems like a big deal now
But you will get over
And when you get over
And when you get older
Then you will remember

He told you he'd wake you up
When it was over
He told you he'd wake you up
When it was over
Now that it's over
Now that you're older
Then you will discover
That it's never over

It's never over (it's never over) [8x]

Sometime (sometime)
Sometime (sometime)
Boy, they're gonna eat you alive (eat you alive)
But it's never gonna happen now
We'll figure it out somehow

Sometime (sometime)
Sometime (sometime)
Boy, they're gonna eat you alive (eat you alive)
But it's never gonna happen now
We'll figure it out somehow

Because it's never over
It's never over (it's never over)

We stood beside
A frozen sea
I saw you out
In front of me
Reflected light
A hollow moon
Oh Orpheus, Eurydice
Its over too soon
