Life goes on…an amazing song by Noah and the Whale, but I digress…

Life goes on and it goes too fast, why don’t we hang around and live it? art and color should be a part of every moment. Don’t be afraid to be you and let it shine. Although, that’s sometimes easier said than done, the things we have to do such as jobs, bills, responsibilities, housework blah blah blah, you get to a point where you think that’s all up together so you can do the cool stuff, and bang, the cycle of it starts all over again, why does it feel like life, gets in the way of living? that’s insane.

Its been a long old while since I have been on line doing the art thing, its not for a lack of interest belive me. I just never quite got there so I just stopped… only for a moment but it was enough 🙂

So what can we do?

Sometimes, we just need to stop and take stock on where we are going and what we are doing. Once we do this we can realize that we are letting everything speed by too fast and are never actually getting anywhere. What if there was another way?

Could it be that I have had it wrong all this time? waiting for that perfect moment when everything would click…. that moment is held up in godlike esteem, it is held aloft like the sword from the stone, it is when everything aligns and my life is filled with a light like I have never seen before… It is when I BEGIN….

… well, all that… quite frankly: its balls.

Epiphany!

We begin just once and ‘that moment’ is EVERY moment. It is in every second that we breathe. it is in every moment that we do the same old routine, it is in every moment we choose to listen, to see… surely every moment should be a moment we choose to live.

Balls to feeling like i don’t fit in and being too shy to say a word and to never feeling good enough. From this moment forth I will live, I will love and I will let it fill my world with color and meaning. That is what should happen. That’s what will happen and I am really rather excited.

Here is L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N by Noah and the Whale, they have sadly now split up but they are definately worth a listen if you like indie-folk type things (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noah_and_the_Whale).
