I never have time to write anymore. And when I do I only write about how I never have time. It's work and it's money and I've written more lists than songs lately. I stay up all night to do all these things I need to do, be all these things I want to be, playing with shadows in the darkness that shouldn't be able to exist. Empty bottles and cigarettes while watching the sunrise, why do I complain? I have it all, everything I ever asked for. Charlotte Eriksson
About This Quote

The first half of the quote is a very poetic and beautiful statement. The second half makes this quote feel like it's about work and money. As if the speaker has no time for anything else. This is an issue that many people face as they get older.

They sometimes feel like they don't have time for some things that once seemed important to them. This quote shows that the author doesn't let the little things bother him anymore and has moved on to bigger and better things.
