Well, I may just write about life instead! I’m wondering if I made the right choice in life when I left the corporate world and started my journey in the performing arts.
There is a lot of loneliness as an artist, something you don’t seem to get when you are in the rat race of the working world and the family life like most of my friends chose.
I get to feel things they don’t too like the rush of performing onstate to a lively crowd and the feeling of accomplishment of making a new song. I work at the heating and cooling business near me doing HVAC equipment sales and service, but I only work there about 20 hours a week and have a lot of free time on my hands. My friend here, who has a thriving business and three kids, told me today that he would go crazy if he had nothing to do and too much time on his hands. I told him that I worked a few hours a week for the local business doing HVAC technology work and I also told him that you have to learn to manage your thoughts when you have a lot of quiet time on your hands or you will go bonkers. I do a lot of meditation and a lot of reading in my free time and I am not sure I could handle the hustle and bustle of his life either. I like working on ductwork and furnaces while I listen to my music on my headphones and whittle away the hours.
