  • Seeking myself

    I seem to be struggling with a few things at the moment.

    • So much I want to say, yet can’t.
    • So much I want to do, yet can’t.

    And all the reasons I can’t are out of my hands, out of my control. And I am finding it far too easy to focus on those negatives. And when I focus on the negatives I don’t say or do what I can. I wallow. I lose myself. It’s a downward spiral I have to avoid.

    Thankfully there is art, there is journaling and there are my soundscapes and lyrics. I just have to find myself amongst the detritus of current circumstances. My future will be different.

    The path is ahead of me is all I have ever wanted and desired. As the sun rises and crosses the heavens, so I follow my path.
