A journey rich with music

Today I DANCED.

I put on this song, cranked it up, and I just let loose. Completely. Hair flying, hips shaking, who-gives-a-fuck-who's-watching, absolute lunacy.

I wasn't trying to exorcise pain or depression. I thought that's what I was feeling, but it's not either of those things.

I'm trying to rid myself of apathy. Emptiness. Holding pattern blahhh.

I feel like -- if I just keep doing this, keep singing and dancing about, taking in the music, and remember to hold onto what it does for me --

I might, just might, be able to get my joy back.

Then the sky opens up and everything feels possible.

:D

There's really nothing like music.

I like to think you are getting your joy back, bit by bit...

I surely hope so. I just have to remember to keep doing those things that make me feel so happy. Like singing, or writing, or dancing crazy around the house.

*hugs you for your wonderful, thought-provoking words*

All so true, Dakotah. Thanks for reminding me. I needed it!

And the lovely message on your kick-ass, heart-breaking Hodgins & Brennan user pic gave me a good nudge, too. Thanks for that!

As long as you let on when you need reminding, I'll be more than happy to do it. :)

I do make good use of this icon, don't I? Not only do I love the episode dearly, but the notion in this scene - that whatever you're contemplating is going to make or break you, but you can't give up until you try - is one to remember.

Let on when I need reminding? Ah see, now you're starting to get a glimpse of my ridiculous personality. *GRIN* I am more than happy to be there for others, but find it terribly difficult to ask for the same in return. I find it excruciating. Isn't that silly?

Nevertheless, I will try harder to let you know.

:)

Yes, you use that icon well, and it's wonderful. I love that moment, that scene, that whole episode. The message is powerful.
