I think lately I've been trying too hard. Trying too hard to express myself, to get what I want/need (or more accurately what I feel I deserve to want/need) from people, and with that amount of effort comes a certain degree of expectation. In this world there is no true obligation; on my part or anyone else's. This Beatles song has given me a kind of peace because of the bitter sweet message in its lyrics. It's not hidden, there's no reading between the lines, Paul McCartney actually says it pretty clearly:

"There will be an answer, Let It Be."

I don't think the answer comes from anywhere in particular. I don't even think there's necessarily a concrete "answer". Live your life, be good to people, and when you're stuck in a rut remember to just keep swimming. Let it be.
