Just a little Monday humor!
Sometimes, I’m way too consumed with my future. I have all these dreams and goals that I feel I need to achieve to validate my life. But other times, there are these beautiful moments when I’m just having a hell of a time getting to wherever it is I’m going. I think everyone needs moments like that to keep them sane, but especially to show them that the future isn’t a year a way—it’s only a moment. The future is often right in front of us … we just forget to realize it.
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.
It's okay if you don't have all the answers. Answers aren't really something to be "had" in the first place. If you already had them, you wouldn't be looking for them in the first place, now would you? All of life's greatest questions are not answered with certainty, but rather learned through experience. So, start asking when you don't know, start questioning what you do and accept the fact that sometimes we never will. In the end, it was never about "getting" the answers—it's about finding them. That's where our journey begins. It is where we begin.
Jake Bugg gives contemporary music hope.
"Out Of The Vein" was a criminally underrated album.
