Could I live the rest of my life as an introverted basement-dwelling songwriter? Well sure I could. Is this a realistic way to live? Of course not.
As I get older I have mixed feelings about writing songs and why I keep doing it. One part of me wishes that I would have stuck with the bands that I was in when I was younger and strived to "make it". But another part of me says "Oh well. I'm just going to keep writing songs because it's something that needs to be done." Whether the songs are good or bad to other people's ears hardly matters to me. To me it's like pissing or shitting-it has to come out. I can't control it. I don't even have the urge to perform for people anymore. I just simply enjoy creating music.
On a slightly different topic: Is it wrong, at the age of 29, to envy someone so much to the point that you wish you were them. Or is that considered a type mental disorder? Reading what I just wrote-It almost sounds like a lack of self respect. I guess envy is something almost everyone has felt at one time or another. Hell, they made a word for it.
