So.
Some Topics May Be Sensitive. Like The Topic of Jealousy & Ego. So if That is Unsuitable to Your Taste or Needs, Feel Free to End Your Search in Thus Thread.
But!, if You Have Found Yourself at The Mercy of Jealousy And or Ego, Feel Free to Continue Reading. For I Would Like to Share Some Personal Thoughts on Such Topics.
-
Jealous~ ‘Feeling or Showing Envy of Someone or Their Achievements And Advantages’.
-
Ego~ ‘A Person’s Sense of Self-Esteem or Self-Importance’.
Now. I Like to Think of Myself as a Musician. And Growing Up, I Loved Watching Music Videos And Actually Found The Courage One Day to Pick Up an Acoustic Guitar Myself. To Try My Hand in The Universe of Music. I Focused Intently as I Picked Up The Guitar, Grabbed a Chord Chart. And Tried, And Tried, And Tried, And Tried.
And One Day, Was Actually Able to Try And Mimic Artists I Heard On The Radio!. Quite The Achievement to Be Accomplished in My Little Slightly Modest Universe.
But!, I Was Proud of Myself. And Decided That The Fates Allowed Me to Be Apart of Thus Thing Called Creativity. But!.., There Was No Real Ego. I Never Thought of Myself as Being Better Than Anyone. Not Even Those Who Picked Up a Guitar And Gave Up On it After a Couple Tough Tries.
But, After Some Long Years of Sharing, Isolation, Writing, Recording, Falling in Love, Pain, Hope, Peace, Trials And Tribulations. I Never Left The Fields of Music. And Found, That No Matter What, That Little Kid That First Picked Up The Guitar, Was Always Waiting For Me to Come Back, And Try Again!.
But, I Also Found, in Some Very Terrible Discovery, The Void of Jealousy, And The Void of Ego. Blended Together, Peering into The Room I Silently Scribbled Lyrics in.
You See Dear Reader, I Shared My Music, And Got Little Feedback. But That Wasn’t The Point. I Once Read, Long Ago, ‘If You Can Help Change One Person, You Can Help Change The World’. So I Shared My Little Glimmers of Hope in Endless Nights. Not For Fame. Not For Fortune. But to Change The Hurt And Agony That Surrounded Me. Even in My Own Little Shell.
But The Jealousy And Ego’s Spun Me Out of Control. And I Blame No One But Myself For Being So Naive.
So. Dear Reader, If You Find Yourself Losing The War, On Either Side of The Fence.
Use Thunder & Lightning as a Metaphorical Warning Sign. That You May Be Stepping a Bit too Far into Something That Might Be Very Harmful.
So. Instead of Spinning Out of Control, Like Me. Enjoy!, The Birds…, And!.., The Breeze!.
