“I’m what time and consequences have made me.”
Tonight I took my first bubble bath since my childhood. I turned all the lights off and allowed myself to get lost in an album I had only partially listened to for many reasons, none of which are important.
I guess what I’m trying to say is I finally brought myself to listen to Pioneer from beginning to end in one sitting while soaking my sorrows in a bath of bubbles and polishing off a bottle of champagne.
The majority of you have no idea what I’m talking about—my apologies— however, a select few know exactly how I feel… extremely proud but a little sad.
To the people who know exactly how I feel:
This is going to sound cheesey but, I want to take the time and thank you all for being part of my life. Whether we still talk, lost touch, or had a falling out you’ve all shaped me into the person I have become and the person I hope to become. The best part of this experience was meeting some of the most amazing people to ever grace me with their presence and friendship. I have this band to thank for some of the best friends I have ever known. It amazes me how a band and a music scene that was once the center of my world could have a huge impact on different parts of my life. As one of my friends (<3) said on the phone the other day, this is the album they’ve been wanting to make since the beginning. What makes me a little sad is how many people I’ve lost touch with. I distanced myself from ::insert sarcastic voice here:: the scene after a few incidents made me realize I was growing up and yes, growing out of the drama that comes hand-in-hand with the scene. I miss seeing your beautiful faces at shows and losing myself in the music. So, I think we should have a reunion… minus the drama and the 13 year old girls who used to threaten me (wait, what? that was real life).
In the wise words of Penny Lane, “It’s all happening!”
