Out There

Blog Category: Blog — Blogged by: Art on February 6, 2007 at 10:03 pm

The great thing about music or any art (no pun intended) for that matter is that everyone has their own interpretation of it. Take this song for example. Some might think its depressing some might find it optimistic. Relationships are hard, love is hard. We have all been hurt, hurt to the point where we say “I am never putting myself out there like that again, its just not worth it”. We all have said it. Some of us actually mean it and live it. That is sad. Yeah it hurts, bad. As bad as it hurts though it is worth it. Feeling that strongly about someone even if it is just for a second, even if it is not reciprocal is worth it. It is worth seeking, it is worth fighting for, and yes it is worth maybe getting hurt for. There is no destination just the journey. I learn about myself every time I get my heart broken and I am glad these people came into my life because they gave me that feeling, some more than others and had I not met them I never would have felt that. Yeah, I want to feel that way again. So if you are sitting there with your walls up and playing it safe you wont see me, cuz I am out there.

word is born, Atrain. Any feeling you have and experience is worth it, I think the key is to try to embrace them and not fight it. If you are bummed out and hurt, then be bummed out and hurt, damn it and do it good. When you feel good, then feel good and do it good. And all the feelings inbetween too, because they are all real and part of life. Every one makes a big deal out of always feeling good like it is the best thing ever, it is nice, but as the song says- to love is to feel the pain. take the time to know it.- not that you need any advice from me, you’re pretty much the coolest dude I know.

Keep on a-rockin’, Art! Keep putting yourself out there. Even though my life is falling apart, I’m doing my absolute best not to let my fears control me any more.

Life IS about the journey, not the destination … and as long as we continue to learn and grow, with each experience we become a better person.

That’s the kind of thinking I like to hear! Chin up - cherish all the good moments in life - and just make it through the bad ones. ;-)
