"Out Of The Vein" was a criminally underrated album.
Just a little Monday humor!
F. Scott Fitzgerald could put me to tears with how beautifully he writes. It's not so much the eloquence, but rather his effortless ability to explain exactly how I'm feeling. He once said, "All good writing is swimming under water and holding your breath." We all have so much to say, but how do we find the words? How does he? But most importantly, using so few of them. I suppose thanks to him—we don't have to.
Someone once told me, "We all die. The goal isn't to live forever, the goal is to create something that will." Well, it was actually Chuck Palahniuk in one of his novels, but you get the point. I made a tumblr not only because writing is my passion, but because one day I will die, and all that will be left are my thoughts. Instead of storing them away in journals and word documents, I want to share them with you.
I don't own the copyright to any of the photos or videos, but the words are mine, and if they're not, i'll quote whom ever they are. I don't care about followers or shares, I simply write to write.
When we give, we actually receive. This doesn't have to be in currency, but it could be. However, I've found that it is the things that cannot be appraised, that have no price—these are the greatest gifts one can give. Our time, our love, our empathy, our word—these things cannot be bought. They must be given, and they are best given freely. It's in giving freely without expectation that we learn to live with constant appreciation.
Your worst enemy will critique your flaws, question your motives, and they will most always find something you could do better. They will be quick to doubt you and slow to accept you. They will minimize your success and heighten your failures. Your worst enemy will never believe your good is "good enough." They will key in on your weaknesses, never letting you get too comfortable.
They will undermine your true ability until you prove otherwise. Your worst enemy will push you to your limit, often testing your true character. And if you've any character worth having at all...your worst enemy will be you. Your worst enemy should always be you.
