104. A New Song Called Good Trouble, Inspired from a Vivid Conversation with Dr. Oran Young, Bren, UC Santa Barbara

Good Trouble
[chorus]
ah-goooood trouble
ah-goooood trouble
everything i thought
was a failure
the professor saw
ah-goooood trouble
everything i thought
was a disaster
the professor saw
goooood trouble
we need to experiment
we need some change
it may not work
but yet we tried
it's better than
staying the same
it's not by the books
but yet we tried
and shook all the static pain
[chorus]
i have some
properties
that may seem
quite quirky
in one place
that's negative energy
in another
it's thriving novelty
in one place
it's self-destroying
in another
it's breaking all boundaries
[chorus]
is there
a place for me
where i survive
spare my sanity
in the world's prison
to box your being
the freedom lurks
in the nooks and crannies
in the world's habits
down spiraling
the freedom reigns
in microcosmal humanity
[chorus]
[chorus]
It's amazing to think that two people can have two entirely different viewpoints of the same experiences! One professors views my years outside UCSB as a "failure" and an "inability to finishe" and another professor views my trials as experiences to learn and become more well-rounded! In the end, it's all relative. It's all a matter of perception.
