365 Days Of Music: Day 7 Over 100 songs and poems over the last two years - this is just one notebook!

#365DaysOfMusic #Day6 'Out in the world, don't make me go, out in the world I will not go' - I wrote this in the summer during a low point when I felt like I shouldn't be enjoying summer because I wasn't achieving 'enough', I wasn't earning 'enough'. I was my harshest critic and it crippled me for a while - I used to be my best friend, growing up an only child taught me how to occupy and enjoy the time by myself and admire the beauty of the world...I lost that somewhere between the breath-taking pressures (both real and imagined) of life since leaving home. I am so happy to say that since then I have found again the friend in myself, and am fully able to enjoy life and the world as I used to - brimming with optimism and wonder. I'm sure there are challenges ahead, but I know I will not lose touch with myself like that again.

I have been living by philosophy all of December and I am so happy and excited about the small achievements I have already made, and look forward to enjoying the journey ahead of me again!

<p>365 Days of Music: Day 2. <br> I finally have somewhere I can call ‘home’ with (currently) no deadline in sight…this has completely changed my outlook on life, I now feel like I have a safe space to start building the life I want 😊 This song came to mind as it’s about this image I have in my mind of an 'ideal’ home. I’m not quite there yet, but I don’t mind as I truly believe it’s all out there waiting for me 🏡✨</p>

365 Days of Music: Day 1

Late night songwriting 🎼

As of today I’m challenging myself to create and post something music related on any of my social networks (YouTube, Tumblr, Facebook and Instagram) for the next 365 days. I identify as a songwriter and musician first above my job and other interests, but I’m aware that the wider community, and even my friends might not think of me this way as I don’t often show what I get up to. To be honest sometimes I can go for weeks at a time without picking up my guitar or recording a melody on my phone’s voice recorder anyway. But now I want to flex my creative muscle, practise my art, and share it with you - and if these little pieces of my soul will move just a few people, it’ll be worth it. Why today? Well why wait for it to be a New Years Resolution (which always seem doomed to fail) when I can start now! 😊Here we go…✨

Someone discipline me! 😊

You might not know it, but I can dance, feel the music flow, entranced. Invoke serpent hips and fire's heat, borrow eagle's wings so earth leaves feet. You might have guessed, but I can sing, I've built my strength up from nothing, Two decades of joyful bliss, of resonance then nothingness. I can paint, and I can draw, my untrained eye and hand is raw, but through it my expression pours, to help frozen emotion thaw. I can write and I can talk, of experiences fleeting, as drawn in chalk, If someone is moved, takes advice away, I'll continue to speak and write everyday. I feel wonder and awe at the world around me, when in nature I am the happiest I can be, I can feel rage and despair, guilt and jealousy, but I let them go swiftly, they do not make me. I have weaknesses too, I am bad at some things, I'll either improve or accept life's givings. Each to their own, every day is new, This life is my reality, as yours is for you.

Did anyone else used to look up at the ceiling and imagine running around and jumping the lights etc...? Ceiling world always looked like fun...

I'm floating above my anxiety...it may be only temporary, or I may have chased it into the deepest corners of my mind, and this is my new 'normal'. Either way, I'm really appreciating this view of life again - the natural optimism and happiness I was born with. I've missed it, and I'm going to fight to keep it ❤️

Wow I actually put this on Instagram first - a big deal for me 😛Another section of my new song, I'm so excited to get it all fleshed out! Lyrics: Do not get wasteful, there is only one life for you. Don't be ungrateful, remember you're alive, oh.

Tried wire wrapping a crystal for the first time, I should definitely look up some good techniques as 'just going for it' turned out a bit scrappy. But it wasn't as hard as I thought so I'm keen to try again!
