What’s a chapter of your life you’d title “The Hard Years” — and what got you through it?
Well I think I am living it now. The chapter is called “Ummm Now, So This Is Whats Happening”. I am pretty sure there was another time where it truly some hard years, but I am a fairly optimistic person. I am not the person to stay down long. If I am able to control the control-ables, I am usually in an okay spot.
In time, things will pass. Also being an active participant in the “now” also churns better outcomes. They won’t always be perfect, but you will get on by.
I remember the hard years were my teenage years. There was so much uncertainty and fear there. I am pretty sure it was filled with anxiety as well. Music, movies and sports kept me going. Music mainly was the driving force because there was a song for every emotion or feeling.
My college years, near the Recession 2008 was hard too. Years of college debt, low end jobs, unable to run away from family problems, again being active, having many passions, writing and music again was my saving grace to get me through.
I think I need to write music a thank you letter one of these days.
