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.

Date: 2008-09-03 03:48 pm (UTC)I'm very sorry to say I got your message well after the fact. My grandmother had a bad cold last week, and I think she gave it to me. Most of the weekend I was feeling a bit crappy, trying to fight it off before it actually became something, but ... very sad to say, I have lost the battle. For the last day or two, I've been miserable. Sniffly, runny nose, sneezy, headachy, sinus yucky, no decent sleep, you name it. It sucks!! I can't remember the last time I had a cold during the summer. I do not like it, Sam I am. ;)
Therefore, the get-together will have to wait. (I'm quite certain you don't want this nasty cold/sinus thing/whatever it is that I have.)
But once this cold is over, most definitely let's get together and do some writing or sumthin. *GRIN* In fact, all of the above that you mentioned in your call would be fun. I think it would be fantastic, and besides that, I'd really love to get together with you and hear more in person about your amazing NY trip experience, if there's anything you'd like to share.
LOVE back! :)
