There are two of me.

Asterus:
For the original topic, I'd say that that sort of situation has been pretty ubiquitous in my life, but I'd say the best thing is that I have plenty of things attached to my memories that allow me to relive them and temporarily go back to a facet of who I was. To this day, the combination of Simple Plan's "I'm Just a Kid", and "Welcome to my Life" along with Yellowcard's "Inside Out" and Green Day's "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" reminds me of a trip to thailand with my first mp3 player and a few random songs from a relative's computer. I can remember my old enthusiasm from high school when driving down auburn rd. around 4 pm on a 70F day, and I still feel the giddy sense of euphoria from the memory of putting together "K-On's really cool dance song". In fact, these associations were pretty much the reason I began writing poems daily for a while, hoping to encapsulate that feeling for later.

IDU, you are talking to someone. Unless you don't count us as people? T_T

Patrick:
The relative impersonality of the internet can make for a bit of a disconnect. I guess that's another duality that each of us have.

I've already resigned myself to the fact that I'm just not cut out for the mainstream "get an education, get a job, start a family" thing. I'm hardly able to take care of myself, let alone all the billions of things you have to take care of to have your shit in order. But for some reason I'm still considered a contributing member of society by the people I meet.

It's hard being broke all the time, and I don't like it much, but it's the only way I really know how to live. And if music doesn't pan out, well, that's the only option I have because its all I've left for myself. It's the only thing I have going for me, but I've got faith it's going to work out. Because it just has to.
