Hey man.
I read your post and I initially thought, 'Damn, this shit is heavy.' That's not a derogatory comment, I just didn't want to be flippant and leave you any platitudes.
I reckon there comes these periods in our lives. An author put it one way, decisive moments. And at these times, the justification for being otherwise is really strong. I mean, really strong. I won't go on my own sob story with this tangent, but it's at these times, our habits really define us.
Some stick to the tried and true, and the habit helps them execute, create or do whatever it is they appreciate themselves doing. Others, buckle under the pressure of very real, valid circumstances and deviate from who they believe themselves to be.
I don't mind how long you take between sharing- because as you've shown, you do come back. It may not be with the frequency you like, but even so, your habit of being present only reinforces that you could increase your visits- you have it in you.
And that's why I didn't wanna come here with no BS about, 'Damn, that's tough'. Hell yeah, shit's tough. But like you, the tough get going. You don't give a damn about pomp and circumstance, and remain unabashedly you. I like the pages in your book, and I'm takin' 'em. I disillusioned myself for a bit here, then fell away whenever the market discouraged me, but I'm back, kicking ass, cuz I enjoy the art of it.
I'm a real aesthete. Drafted my latest movie review just now, actually. Finna post once I finish this comment.
What I'm saying is, NoNames, keep going. You have no idea how many people are watching- waiting for you to lead the way. But I'll help you out. I can tell you right now, that I am one of them. I'm following your lead, man. Do it for me, man. Do it big.
I hear. Don't expect these sounds, so I'm listening close. That shit hits different for sure. Got me thinking here. Then a part of the mind wants to overlap, throwing excuses and explanations my way. Not writing that shit down in response, for reasons; because they're not reasons.
"Lead the way." So I'm sitting here thinking, did I need to hear this?
WTF is good leadership without teamwork.
Thanks man. I'm getting there. People are getting it, cool. So I could go get it, too.
