A long time ago, A long time ago that I've given up, I've given up on what I thought I should do, I was afraid, A long time ago, I can’t recall the time, I thought I'm not good enough, I thought that with time I'll find my way, But it was only a step back, I stepped back and never moved on, A long time ago, I've given up on myself, I told myself I'm not good enough, And today, years later, I can't fall sleep at night, My mind keeps buzzing with silent screams, I look up at the ceiling and wish for it to stop, A long time ago, I thought that I should not do it, I thought that I'm not good enough, Now years later I feel the after effects, Now my heart shows me what my mind has denied, It doesn't matter if I'm good enough, I still can retract my phases from years ago, I still can be my own, I'm good as it is, I'm good, as long as I find joy.

I've heard multiple songs by Glen, and I'm pretty sure I've heard this song above as well. This particular song was featured in the movie "Once", in which Glen appeared in the main role. While reading the novel "The life list" by Lori Nelson Spielman, it struck me by surprise that this movie was mentioned, I was amazed because the day before reading this particular part in the novel I was listening to the song and went to IMDB to read about this movie, and it was a nice coincidence! I often encounter such coincidences, ok not often, but I do encounter and these situations still amaze me.
