Don't give up

Today has been one of those days. You know, where you don't sleep and you try to work a full shift. Then when you do get home, you sit blankly at the computer screen for a bit. Actually, I'm not staring that blankly at the screen: I am doing quite a bit of thinking. I'm sitting here listening to old 70s music and reflecting on a conversation that I just had with my brother.
See, the thing is; we've been wanting to start up a band forever. I have lyrics written out the (well you know what) ...and he's amazing at the guitar. He doesn't see it, but he is. He's worried people won't like our music and everything. Here's the deal and my ramble for the day.
Whatever you have enjoyment in, whatever your hobby or love is, do it. No matter what other people think of it, do NOT under any circumstances let it get you down and stop. The first thing I drew, probably wasn't that great. I still am learning to shadow, blend, and everything. I'm by no means a "professional" lyricist. I am just now picking up the piano. However, I enjoy doing all those things. Its about having fun. Its about being creative for heaven's sake!
Seriously though. Whatever you want to do, do it. If you have the drive, the passion, that love for what you want to do; give it your best shot and then some. It might sound or look horrible to one person, but to another person they will have gotten something from it. Not everyone is going to like what you do, what you are, or even who you are but you are you.
I suppose the point of this blog is simply, don't give up because of a few negative comments that you might (and will) receive.


Until next time, keep on keepin' on and much love to all you out there. Hopefully, someone will find this blog and it will help them I hope.
