Is Art War?

I have a particular way of being whereas I get very competitive. VERY competitive. Kill everything in your path and be unstoppable. BE the greatest ever or be nothing. There is no middle ground. Nowhere along the climb that is sufficient for settling. That’s how bad I want to win. There is no backup plan, no other option. I feel that way a lot.

But I write a lot of slow songs. A lot of love lost songs. Mostly soft songs where the intention is to comfort, provide a moment of peace in the midst of the rat race. Songs that just want to give you a big hug and let you rest on them when you’re sad or lonely.

I guess it’s all about balance. I keep coming back to that. Not just this year, but my whole life. Keeping my balance. Maybe I’ll buy a slack line.
