Takin' it to the next level...

I've begun to just write. What I mean by 'just write' is just that. I decided to start each day to sit and just write music, whatever is on my mind that day. I finished a melody and words just yesterday and have the challenge before me today when I get home to put some brainstormed words down to music. I did feel as though I filled a void. Tiny as it may have been, I felt that void missing, which was comforting as I awoke to meet the demands of the day.

I was just told that when music is created, it's like me using a coping tool in my toolbox of many things that help with everyday living. I do understand music's strength, but this was a little higher level thinking for me to the point of driving me to see what I can do as far as composing is concerned. Thanks to advice from a counselor I just started seeing, I've raised an expectation for myself, which has kept me from boredom.

Not to mention the You Tube videos I've posted about the 5-4-3-2-1 Grounding Game my last counselor, Dr. Ramboz, taught me have been part of this change of happiness I've been seeking. Here is the address I've posted if you are interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tR1gxp_OLx0 

Now, concentrating on school. Ta, ta.
