Now I know, that you never listened, listen...

I can't believe how much worse I've gotten. In all my years of high school, I've become more and more of a procrastinator and cared less and less about it. I'm accepted to my college of choice and my GPA is above a 3.0, can I just end school here? I'm ready to go to college. I'm ready to pack up all my things and start fresh. I'm ready to move in with someone I hardly know. I'm ready to make good choices and bad choices. I'm ready to start working towards what I want to do in life. I'm ready to move on from high school.

Rant over.

I've decided, despite my falling out with music, I'm going to cling on to it with all that I am. Nothing will ever tear me away from my one and only true love. I've been playing more and more and listening less and less. I don't think that it's necessarily a bad thing, I just think that I've listened so much and been so inspired, that life has decided that it's my turn to inspire someone with my music. I've also decided, the first thing I'm going to buy with my graduation money, is a guitar. I've been playing so much lately and I think I'm actually getting better day by day.

I think I need to touch base with my roots, go back to the beginning and start over. Listen to The Strokes for days on end and see where it leads me. The songs I've been in love with lately, that used to inspire such a passion within me, seem to have lost that affect. I want it back. I NEED it back. I think I will know, if The Strokes have lost their ability to stir every piece of me, from my head to my toes and into the very core of me, that I've lost something, something I don't think I will ever get back. I hope that's not the case. Please Julian Casablancas, work your magic on me.

'Never needed anybody, I never needed anybody
I never needed anybody, I never needed nobody
Don't worry about it, honey
I never needed anybody
I never needed anybody, it won't change now.

Am I wrong?
Don't sing along with me.
I said I was fine,
It's just the second time
We lost the war
'
