1. NOTE TO SELF: you can’t teach an old dog new tricks. I don’t know who the dog is in this scenario, but looking back I’m remembering I’ve been called bitch, and stupid, and worse 
2. NOTE TO SELF: always remember that you are Unique. Just like everybody else.
3. It’s going to take something a LOT more
EPIC
to convince me to even respond to the existence of a person who regularly makes me feel like a bloodspot on a dirty road.
4. I am furious
5. I’m so furious right now I’m blogging about it. I’m months of pent of rage furious added to years of pent up rage furious.
I don’t want to go into it…
6. I’m so sad. I can’t even process it.
7. I’ll be around for things I need to be around for, but I have obviously not been doing well and it’s time for me to sort through some stuff before I end up someplace crazy.
Now it’s affecting my work.
HUG
and I will take that hug, still-got-the-birthday-energy-girl
Denise,
I don’t know you from Adam. But, I am a songwriter as well. I’ve been put down. I’ve had my work put down in more ways than I can count. And, in some cases I am inclined to agree with what they say about me and my work.
But, at the same time…..I couldn’t have written a song like Hellhole California and you couldn’t have written a song like Invisible Girl without some degree of pain and suffering in our lives. That is what makes us unique. That is what makes us better then all the people that try to put us down. We see things from a different perspective. This lets us create things that no one else can create.
Creativity comes at a huge price. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering. But suffering is what makes art. No suffering no art. And, in the end, I think it is worth it. Honestly, I wouldn’t have it any other way.
I hope in your heart of hearts you feel something similar.
No matter. You do great work. Please keep it up!
I know you’re right… and this is a great comment.
it’s hard not to hurt when we … hurt… but it’s good to have something to turn to that is self-fulfilling and even – important, perhaps
thank you
Your welcome
I’d be lying if I said it didn’t bring some comfort to know that others go through the same hell.
Knowing your not alone is important. Keep up the good work!
you too
Whoever or whatever it was, I hope you got it sorted ?
it’s a whatever. sometimes you just have to blow people off and then move on
but thanks.
