Stubborn Love

Y'all should be grateful that I almost always provide you with a playlist to my blog. I'm introducing/reminding you of great stuff. New favourite song: 

I've been trying to do it right. I've been living a lonely life. I don't know where I belong, I don't know where I went wrong, but I can write a song... 

I had yet another date on Monday night. Another suit. I hadn't seen him in awhile and I was shocked when he showed up to be reminded of exactly how much he looked like one of the the last guys I dated. I definitely have a type. And...I was so bored. 

Dear Suit, I know you make tons and tons of money. Thank you for reminding me of it over and over again all evening. 

Can I put this out there to the Universe? Yes, you should have a job and do the best you can in life. But tons and tons of money? I don't need that if you don't have anything other than that and a cute face to offer...I'm just not all that into you.

Next night, different story. I had dinner with 27. Y'all know I love being great friends with my ex's. Yah, it didn't work out but if you liked someone awesome enough to date them for awhile, where does all that good stuff go when you break up? 

There's something to be said for a guy you can just hang out with, cook dinner, listen to music, talk...and none of it is about money. Or trying to impress each other. Once you break up, that chapter is closed. The awesome thing about guys like 27 though, is I never had to try to impress them in the first place. It was just always easy and comfortable. 

I've met my fair share of amazing people over the past couple of years and it's crazy how many of us are *stubbornly* trying to do the thing we love and become artists: writers, singers, musicians, poets, fashion designers, the list goes on. Yeah, most of us work day jobs. But that's not really who we are. 

Will the majority of us make it on the side jobs? Probably not. But they are all amazingly talented and we are at least trying the long way round, even if we don't end up with tons and tons of money:

And those are just the ones with their own websites. There are a lot of us out there. :)
