Kelly Clarkson "Catching my Breath" lyrics..

I don't wanna be left behind
Distance was a friend of mine
Catching breath in a web of lies
I've spent most of my life
Riding waves, playing acrobat
Shadowboxing the other half
Learning how to react
I've spent most of my time

Catching my breath, letting it go, turning my cheek for the sake of the show
Now that you know, this is my life, I won't be told it's supposed to be right

Catch my breath, no one can hold me back, I ain't got time for that
Catch my breath, won't let them get me down, it's all so simple now

Addicted to the love I found
Heavy heart, now a weightless cloud
Making time for the ones that count
I'll spend the rest of my time
Laughing hard with the windows down
Leaving footprints all over town
Keeping faith kinda comes around
I'll spent the rest of my life

Catching my breath, letting it go, turning my cheek for the sake of the show
Now that you know, this is my life, I won't be told it's supposed to be right

Catch my breath, no one can hold me back, I ain't got time for that
Catch my breath, won't let them get me down, it's all so simple now

You helped me see
The beauty in everything

Catching my breath, letting it go, turning my cheek for the sake of the show
Now that you know, this is my life, I won't be told it's supposed to be right

Catching my breath, letting it go, turning my cheek for the sake of this show
Now that you know, this is my life, I won't be told what's supposed to be right

Catch my breath!

Catch my breath, no one can hold me back, I ain't got time for that
Catch my breath, won't let them get me down, it's all so simple now (it's all so simple now!)

Catching my breath, letting it go, turning my cheek for the sake of the show
Now that you know, this is my life, I won't be told it's supposed to be right

Catch my breath, no one can hold me back, I ain't got time for that
Catch my breath, won't let them get me down, it's all so simple now

Ranting yet again

Once again I have run into a situation where I am just plain ol ticked.

The reasons and wherefores aren't all that important, and in the general scheme of things it really isn't that big of a deal, but it has once again hit upon that one fact of life that never seems to change.

Growing up, we are all taught to play fair, be nice, treat others well, play by the rules, etc.  I do my best to do so.  I do my best to be fair, open and honest.  Occasionally I fall short and I end up ticking someone off, but often it is because of a lack of information.  Either they didn't communicate the entire situation and left me to make assumptions or more rarely it is because of my preconceived notions of what I should be hearing/seeing/etc

But when I run across others who don't feel the need to "play by the rules" it just pisses me off.  Sadly I have been running across more and more people who feel they can and should do what they want.  They dismiss the concerns of others by dismissing their concerns / feelings with versions of "lighten up" "don't be a prude" or 'oh get over it' .. Why?
