On a kind of serious note, I've recently had a bit of an opportunity to reassess my priorities. (Note I made while proofreading: this paragraph was very hard for me to type) This weekend a girl I went to high school with was in a terrible car crash, and she passed away a few hours later. My hometown is a small town and it's largely in shock right now, and I think I am a little bit myself. I didn't know her very well, not nearly enough to call her a friend, but at the same time we had many mutual friends and many common connections. But at the risk of sounding selfish this tragedy made me realize a few things about myself... some of which were kind of hard to swallow. It's not about me in the slightest, but to be totally honest I'm still trying to work through it. She was actually younger than I am and it got me thinking... it just as easily could have been me in a car crash.
And so, here I am! The stories I have up on here are fun, just little things I enjoy writing. They're a good outlet and they're great practice, and some of you pretend you actually like to read them and boost my ego a little bit! I don't quite consider them art though, and the problem is that I'm pretentious enough to consider myself an artist. So what I'm going to do is...
...Wait for it... gotcha;)
I actually haven't decided. I'm probably going to write another novel, which means the pieces I have up on Penana might stay in Limbo for a little while. Regardless, I'm going to better prioritize what I'm really passionate about from now on, which is writing (and music to a lesser extent, but that's neither here nor there.)
Moral of the story? You aren't getting rid of Bobby that easily;)
Folks, if you'll indulge me: try to appreciate what you have, cause if it ever goes away you'll want to be able to say that it was fun while it lasted.
I have big plans, as usual! Sorry I disappeared for a while, I'll do my best to keep you all better updated from now on! Come with me, on the road to greatness B-)
