L’artiste

I’ve been spending a lot of time listening to music, reading, looking at photos, studying pieces of art.  It’s starting to work.  It’s starting to inspire.  It’s causing me to think a lot and write a lot.  Writing is good, writing is key.

For me, lyrics come long before melody or ‘something to put them to’ exists. I’m feeling a little impatient in regards to the fact that the music does not exist yet and that it may not for some time, but I continue to remind myself that it will come. 

The desire is there, so it will come.

Ps I’ve been teaching myself the French language for a few months now & practice it daily.  It’s going well & something I really enjoy.

I owe myself a huge apology for not doing with my life the only thing I’ve ever known to do.

I Can’t Come To Your Party!

So I’m trying to ‘rediscover myself’, which sounds so cliche.  The deal is I used to know myself so well, what I eventually decided was ‘too’ well based on the fact that I was stuck in my head so much of the time and eventually my brain demanded a break from that.  I took great strides to get out of my head and it worked out really, really well for me for a few years.. but I think I took it too far. It’s not working out for me anymore.  I’m no longer connected with myself and it makes me sad.  I guess I don’t know how to balance focusing inward vs. focusing outward.  I can’t seem to find a way to toggle between the two without going insane.  It kind of makes me wish I never took the leap of focusing outside myself to begin with.  Granted, I’ve made a lot of good friends along the way (also learned that not everyone is as good of a friend as you think they are!), but I’ve distracted myself so much from my own wants/needs/interests that I feel like I’ve quit myself.  It just leaves me feeling LOST.  That is the best way I can describe it, LOST.  But I do feel a peace about it, like I’m on the right track by even having this shift in feeling.  I can also feel that this has been festering for awhile and now the universe is ABSOLUTELY DEMANDING that I make some changes.  Anyway, I guess what I’m trying to say is, no I can’t come to your party when there is a party somewhere every weekend! I miss making music too much & need to do ‘ME’ now.
