"get moving now daniel"

my back is the worst it's been in half a year and yet i still feel happy and surprisingly strong. i just quit the job that has been causing the problems with my back, that has a lot to do with how i'm feeling. my hand has been really weak lately due to it being connected to a section of vertabrae that is really fucked right now. it's been really hard to play music lately because of that. i've learned the hard way that hurting myself is not worth any amount of money anyone will pay. it's been commonplace for me to confuse discipline & hardwork with self-inflicted pain. i talked to a delivery guy the other day at work, i asked him how the job treated his back. he answered, "i wasn't born rich, so i've got to take the bitter with the sweet".

working and being down has given me a chance to remember why i enjoy the things i've decided to do. sometimes i get so caught up in the way things are progressing in whatever project i'm doing, that i forget why i even started. a break from being able to do these things has given me a new appreciation for the opportunity i have to create music and art and relationships. i'm going to take this chance i have and just run with it for a while.

totally unrelated... but shit, bill withers rules.
