Getting Nowhere With Nobody

He's a real nowhere man,
Sitting in his nowhere land,
Making all his nowhere plans
For nobody.

When the Beatles first sang this song I remember thinking that it didn't make sense. How can you be "nowhere"? Perhaps I was too young at the time to really understand but I think I do now.

I frequently feel like I don't know where I am, who I am, how I got here, and why I'm here. I know everyone wrestles with those existential questions of life but I'm not talking about those. I'm talking about the last four years. My life as it currently stands is based on "somewhere" plans that are going nowhere. They are based on "somebody" who chooses to stay a nobody in my future.

So I continue to sit in my nowhere land, with my heart making my nowhere plans, for nobody. I don't want to spend the next 4 years this way. I'll move out of nowhere land and make my own plans, even if it means losing nobody.

I want to be somebody someday...with someone who wants me.
