fear itself

Maybe I will come across as one of those charlatan motivational speakers but basically I’ve decided that you shouldn’t even fear fear itself. Just let it wash over you and swim through it. When you worry about the future, you don’t live in the present. My new thing for 2014 is not worrying about the outcome because the outcome will be the outcome regardless of my attempt to control it. Yes, I have crazy credit card and student loan debt. Yes, my government is spying on me. Yes, commercial musical theater is the most foolish path to run down trying to make money (especially if you’re actually trying to push the form with your content or vice versa) but if I thought too hard about that, I’d be paralyzed. And that just doesn’t work for me anymore. So my new thing for 2014 is to just do it and move on. It’s fine if you don’t agree. 

Let it Goby The Bangles

One thing or anotherYour head is filled with questionssights and soundsDistractions always gets you downTurn aroundTrying to rememberWhere you were the day beforeNorth and south and east and westWhere to go

When it’s over, when it’s doneLet it go

Frightened by the numbersAll the possibilitiesChanging minds you hope to findone more dream to remind youWhat is lost can always be regained

When it’s over, when it’s doneLet it go
