load me up with some jazz babe, and watch me float away….
everytime im here, in this state of mind, i find it harder and harder to get out.
with so much going on in my life, so much drama and work, its hard for me to find a place where i can just be me, who i am. where i can reflect on the day, on my week, month, year and life. where i can calmly lay out my priorities and realize that i have everything i need right here with me: a faithful friend, my writing, family, cat and above all, my knowledge of myself.
i know who i am. i just tend to let things get to me a little too much.
and where is this place where i can reflect, relax and just be myself?
my room. my bed. listening to my favorite jazz, blues and soul artists.
i find myself connecting to the words they sing, the feeling behind their voice.
and i know, that i dont need anyone or anything. all i need are the simple things in my life that make me who i am, and make me happy.
in which, i have just named above.
i need to live for myself. not for anyone else.
