Same Old Shit


I am freshening up my life a bit lately. A favorite teacher of mine in Chicago once told me to only work on projects that are trying to be beautiful. If it succeeds in being beautiful, it's beautiful and if it fails, it's funny. That's art. I love this idea, and since coming home as a new girl in an old place, I've been trying to make my life art.
I bid farewell to something that was hard for me to let go of Thursday night. I have been performing with a group for almost four years and though I love them dearly, it was time for me to move on. Thursday night was my last show and in an effort to (if possible, beautifully) release all the emotions surrounding this experience I wrote and haphazardly recorded this song Friday. I then spent most of the day trying to figure out how to get it onto the internet and am just now celebrating my victory.
