i wrote a song last night

[astonished silence]
now, you may not think that this is an incredible feat for an accomplished songwriter like myself (sarcasm) however this is the first song i have written in 4 months. i think it is amazing that i even felt like writing, because, in case i didn't mention it on this blog, i kinda gave up on music a couple months ago. after a not-so-great performance at gcc, i told myself i was done... and i didn't realize until weeks and weeks later that i hadn't since touched the piano or thought about singing or playing, let alone writing... and i would feel a twinge of sadness, and some voice that probably wasn't actually me would remind me that i couldn't do it anyway.
but this is proof that all it takes is one person to restore your hope in lost dreams. they don't even have to tell you how talented you are (you wouldn't hear that) or encourage you to pursue those dreams (you already determined their futility), but simply make you feel that you are worth spending time with, you are worth getting to know. that the well of your soul is good enough to take a drink from, the depths of it interesting enough to explore. and then you remember that you can. and suddenly you're laughing more than you have in 4 months, and then you're writing a song. :) perhaps i'll post the lyrics once i touch up the chorus a bit... or maybe i can make a bad-quality recording and post that, just so you can hear it.
