Looking back over the years has brought me insight. Navigating through a complicated life brings clarity. As humans, we can have the same experience. Yet, the way we respond or process it makes each journey and experience unique to the individual.
Personally, I have found it easier to continue moving forward than to stop and linger on the hot coals of despair. I have felt the painful burn of loss. As Papa Roach sings, "the scars remind me the past is real." Not a day goes by that I don't think about my Nanna, Aunt Donna, Mom, Dad and Aria. Each of them possesses more than a chapter in the book of my life.
Growing up my Dad had a great collection of Albums. YES-RECORDS!
Whenever we had a get together, he would play a mix of music. Because of
him, I have a huge repertoire of music taking up space in my brain.
Music has always been my voice. It is the window into my soul/emotions. Most of my memories include a song. The last few years can be summarized "So Far Away" by Avenged Sevenfold and Broken Bones by Rev Theory. How do I live without the ones I love? "Lie to Me" by12 Stones, and Far From Over by Rev Theory sums up my years at USP because I nearly ruined my relationship with my best friend. "
Throughout my life, the Afghan Whigs (all Greg Dulli) and Nine Inch Nails have consistently been my two of my favorite bands.The angst, moodiness, pain and hurt just always seems to be fitting. If you are singing it, the words belong to someone else. If you are singing it, you don't have to say it.
