SORRY

Post by mojobone » Fri May 26, 2023 10:54 pm

I've been real damned busy being me, and for far too long. Not to put too fine a point on it, but I've been rudderless, since my mother passed. I don't get points for not taking it out on other people, but I've struggled to come up for air. I have a certain perspective on life and work, for some reasons. I lost half my nuclear family suddenly and violently before I graduated high school, but that's just circumstance. What I'm saying is it shaped me, but losing the only consistent presence in my life for over fifty years gutted me, and it's taken some time and some serious health concerns to slap me sensible. Time is short. But I'm back, and I'm ready to get better. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zj3afZXiwcQ

No "like" button here, so I guess I have to say what it means. It means a lot. Thank you.

Totally understand Mojo, so sorry to hear of your loss. Sounds like we've traveled similar paths, lost my dad unexpectedly in '99, then my mom unexpectedly in '19. We all cope in different ways, do what you need to do, and reach out at any time. Tons of friends around here that care about you.

"Sorry. I've been real damned busy being me."

Potential here for a country song??


How about the chorus going.... "But I was too damned busy being me."

For the song title... "Being Me".

I have schizophrenia so my mind is always picking up stuff. Your message to all of us was so heartfelt, I think you captured it in the first line you wrote..."Too Damned Busy Being Me." (paraphrasing).

Okay. the page is blank now, but let's start filling it in.

Chorus 1..."You were everything I wanted, but I didn't see. I was too damned busy being me."

Chorus 2..."I knew our love was meant to be. But I was too damned busy being me."

Chrus3..."You drove me crazy, set me free. But that's the price I pay for being me.

Just tossing around some ideas here. I'm not Bill Shakespeare by any stretch but my spidey senses think we're on to something here. :)
