Being an artist, being a writer is painful.
Always another blank page waiting for you, wanting to be filled up.
Connecting to songs and letting songs go.
Digging for the moments.
From down in the dumps all the way to cloud nine and back and forth, everyday.
Listening to others and listening to your gut.
Pushing for what you believe even when you’re not totally sure.
Rejection after rejection.
Success…..nope, actually more rejection.
Knowing you have it. Forgetting you have it. Wondering if you have it. Finding it. Losing it. Rebuilding it. Knowing you have it.
It’s painful.
But it’s a choice. Never forget that.
And now that we know it’s painful…perhaps the pain will serve as a guide post that you’re on the right track…or at least in the club.
