No Matter What People Are Struggling With,

Once You're Away From Music, I Realize That's As Intrinsic To Who I Am As Anything Else. That's The Part That Takes Me Out Of My Brain.

I Think Grief Is A Step Towards Strength Because It Allows You To Be Porous And Take Everything In, And Have It Transform You. What Will Sit Within You Is Despairing, But At Least It's Feeling. You're Not Numb. Grief Is Sort Of The Allowance Of Feeling.

I Read A Lot; Fiction And Non-fiction Are The Mediums I Find Most Edifying And Inspiring. I Watch Movies And Listen To Music And Take Lots And Lots Of Walks. Nature Is A Nice Reset Button For Me, It's How I Get A Lot Of Thinking Done.

If Your Whole World Of A Band Or Music Is Taking Place In A Digital Realm Or On Technological Devices, It's All Mediated Through Those Things. That Takes Away From The Experiential And Sensual Nature Of Music. That's A Lot Less Exciting For Me To Think About. It's Not My Ideal Way Of Living With Music.

I'm Pretty Horrible At Relationships And Haven't Been In Many Long-term Ones. Leaving And Moving On - Returning To A Familiar Sense Of Self-reliance And Autonomy - Is What I Know; That Feeling Is As Comfortable And Comforting As It Might Be For A Different Kind Of Person To Stay.
