I’ve been on an intense Roger Alan Wade kick. This guy is hands down my favorite current musician. His songs have this way of evoking my own memories and experiences - the great ones and the ones that almost killed me.
I guess I can measure the lengths I’ve come not only by my own milestones, but by the feelings that those of others conjure. Maybe it is the absence of particular emotions that make it profound.
I’ve grown in many ways. I’ve come to terms with the damage I’ve done to myself and the people I’ve known. I’ve reached a stalemate with myself. I finally know peace and security , but it all stems from avoidance. Avoidance of letting myself remain close to someone. Avoidance of the people and places that were such huge parts of my life.
I know what not to do, but damned if I know what to do in its place.
I do believe that those who do their best to live out their values and their virtues in the most honest manner possible are always rewarded.
They called you a dreamer, we were seventeen The years went by so fast, now they call you other things All of the answers that you’re dreaming of They say that it’s natural, but a grown man learns how to give ‘em up
