It’s been a hard time creatively, and I’m curious if the well is dry or I just haven’t taken the time to venture into the woods, stumble around a bit, lean into the pit, and take a look at whatever moss-covered animals are down there.
I’ve felt overgrown, constantly longing to connect to the person I was in my late teen years. My portfolio of personal projects seemed to develop at a much faster rate than it has since 2020. These days, I’ve got the time and a million excuses to fill it. I’m so frustrated and tired of longing for a version of myself that still lives somewhere in by brain.
This is “don’t slip away,” a ten song playlist as a sentiment to express my desire for a new spark, fear of not being exceptional, and realization that there is still so much time.
there’s a great big beautiful tomorrow – “when it becomes a reality, it’s a dream come true for you and me”
everyday people – “I am no better and neither are you, we’re all the same, whatever we do“
easier said than done – “don’t worry about the future, she said, “that’s easier said than done”
good morning fire eater – “I’m afraid you’ve stopped to lick your wounds”
fool – “just say what it is that you want”
take your guess – “I breathe in and then I breathe out, I’ve got a trillion doubts, and that’s fine, I took a road that wasn’t a road, But it was something I chose, and that’s fine”
my song – “this is my song and nothing can make it die”
sage – “a brittle sense of self yet capable”
older – “you think you look older, I think you look alive, you were right before when you told me, “living takes more than to just survive”
to learn – “I’m losing again from holding too tight, but I’m living to lose what I can do without”
poor man’s son – “I’ve got plenty of time but I want everything now”
walden pond – “stay in that water and keep where you’re feeling fine”
