day 30 | ‘life is good’

Journal Excerpt: 2001

wow. i’m dizzy. it feels good. i could stop to think about it but i won’t.
the weeds are tall but that’s ok. the roses are bountiful

today i missed some of my friends in new york. i thought about the ones who
maybe sacrificed too much trying to “make it”. some of them have been battling the
music business for almost twenty years now. that’s a long time. it just creeps up
on you

it’s hard to know what to do sometimes until it’s too late. i went down kicking and
screaming, but now i’m married, have an amazing five year old daughter and a
perfectly charming little house. i got lucky. it could have gone the other way

we just got back from going out to dinner. isabelle met all the waitresses and they
hung up her crayon drawing from the paper they put on the tables
she is the joy of my life

it’s eight thirty five and just starting to get dark. it’s quieter now than when I started
writing this. maybe I should go in the house. i need to memorize my scenes for
monday’s class

life is good
bye
