I
was listening to NPR where a singer was getting interviewed. When asked where she got inspiration for her music,
she said “people leave and dreams die.”
How
starkly candid. It got me thinking. Sometimes you spend more time trying to just get
on, despite it all. It might be
something to actually slow down and look at the fallout. People sometimes, in fact, leave and not
always in the most affable of ways.
Dreams die, people disappoint you.
Avoidance is my M.O. Alternatively,
to look at and try to process it, so it’s not dictating your life under the
surface, might be a thing. <----wow
that was honest. Having a failed marriage under my belt seems to haunt me.
I’m
a romantic but I hide it really well. I’m
so unnerved about exposing myself in my writing, that I'm fighting to not make this
particular post anonymous. I’ve
swayed so far away from anything “romantic” at this point in my life, I sexually
identify as a golfer.
I
will try to illustrate this next part without gushing, because I love Marc
Maron so much I might not be able to pull it off. He was interviewing Springsteen. What is better than an informed, intelligent performer
interviewing the Boss for fucks sake? At
one point Bruce was talking about the fire we all have inside. He said, “. . . you get the burn, you aim it
towards the right thing.”
