The title of this post is a snippet from the lyrics of 'After the Storm' by Mumford and Sons, a rather brilliant tune, I must say. It's probably one of the most emotionally provocative songs I've ever heard. It simply hits me in a way that I never really thought about before, but thankfully, it's quite enjoyable, (and Caroline and I sang a cover of it for fun once haha).
Simply put, I've been thinking about a lot of things lately; what my priorities are in life, what I feel in my own soul, and what I want out of life. I've realized that some things in life pretty much consume all of my time (ie. Facebook), the amount of time that I have or haven't spent on some things is shocking, and I just needed a change of pace. As such, my Facebook is on hiatus until further notice. I deactivated it temporarily, (so if some of you happened to try and search my name on there and couldn't find it, there's a reason).
Continuing, I'm beginning to realize more and more, that all I really need in life is my music. My ability to perform, to sing, to interact with other musicians. I don't need anything else.
Do I want something more?
In the simplest of terms: yes.
But am I going to continue pining over the fact that someone I could have been quite happy with leave because it 'might not work'?
Yes, and no.
I need to step back and examine myself, and my life, before I can be anywhere stable enough to deal with love, or anything like that.
I just can't handle it right now.
If I hurt people in the process of saying any of this, I'm sorry. But, I have to move away from the familiar and pursue something else.
As such; thank you for reading my words. It means more to me than I can say.
Peace, and have a wonderful (if snowy) Friday!
