I'm Always Trying To Encourage

I Think Short-term Goals Are Important. Trying To Set A Missive For Yourself For The Entire Year Can Be Daunting, And It Can Feel Too Easy To Fail Or Fall Short Of That.

As A Kid, Before I Got Into Music, I Did All The Drama Classes, Went To Theater Camp In The Summers, So It Wasn't Totally A Foreign World.

The School Systems At My Childhood Had Enough Money Or Enough Parent Involvement That They Felt Like Learning Music And Songs, And Exploring The Whole Pop Or Classical Canon, Were Just As Important As Algebra Or Biology. Music Is Such A Visceral And Tactile Experience For A Kid, And To Just Replace That With Video Games Or Something That Doesn't Have The Same Sort Of Physical Impact Would Definitely Be A Poor Choice, And Have A Negative Impact.

You Do Have To Live Through Things, And To Live Through Things Is To Observe Want, And To Observe Lacking. Even If The Hunger Is A Curiosity.

I'm Pretty Horrible At Relationships And Haven't Been In Many Long-term Ones. Leaving And Moving On - Returning To A Familiar Sense Of Self-reliance And Autonomy - Is What I Know; That Feeling Is As Comfortable And Comforting As It Might Be For A Different Kind Of Person To Stay.
