You got me running round in circles

So the other night our band Volumetric played our first 'official' gig on a stage in a club and everything. There were even roadies with beards and I got to ask for more foldback for the vocals like a real rockstar! In all seriousness though it was a wonderful night; one of those occasions that seem to be multiplying where I am so overwhelmed by the generosity, kindness and support of those surrounding me, and also my bandmates. It's really wild. 


I guess 'happiness' comes in so many forms, and on so many different levels, that it's hard to choose a happiness that you could consider the best, or greatest, or largest. Somehow it's difficult to compare them, too - the happiness you find when lying on wet grass in the middle of the night singing pop music at the top of your lungs is incomparable to the happiness of achieving career goals. Perhaps one is greater than the other, but would living without either leave you lacking? I guess I think so... 


Anyway the point is I can't ever think of anything to be sad about when I get to play the music I love, with the people I love, to the people I love. And if it can be that simple for the rest of forever I don't need to worry about what will become of me because I'll just let this whole thing become me. Become of me. The end.
