Awww... hopefully soon. I gave up for a few years because I became discouraged, the band I had with Kevin kind of fell apart... I also had so much happen in my life with the accident and afterwards, I found that I was overwhelmed mentally and emotionally. I wasn't able to process everything and I believe that is why, after writing all my life, the songs stopped coming. In truth, I haven't written anything new in a long time. At the same time, it was a pivotal moment for my kids and I felt they needed me around as much as possible, so I stopped playing out. Watching you, Jason and Jessamyn on here, and this platform in general, has given me new hope in regards to music. Something I haven't had in a long time. Sorry if this is much, but now you're caught up lol. I wanted to share it, but also thank you for your support and inspiration. Long story short, I'm very rusty and practicing right now. Ha :)
Thanks for sharing that with me, @lucyjane. Life happens. Death happens. And I think at some point in our lives, we have all drifted away from our creativity to focus on the more important things, especially when family is involved. Truth be told, i never really stopped playing music but I cut my live gigs with the guys to maybe once or twice a year because family comes first! For the past 6 or 7 years I have been jamming with a few of my buddies just once or twice a month for a couple hours at a time. We're all grown up now with jobs and families so we have to prioritize, but the music helps us blow off some steam and maintain our sanity :) I've only written probably 2 original songs in the past 5 years. So, if music can't be your thing now, or at least for a while, you obviously have many other areas of interest that you can share here. That's what make Steemit so awesome!
Definitely! There are other things to share here for sure, but I'm gaining new desire bred by the hope I'm finding here. I'm excited to get back into music again. This platform makes it easy to share what you love without compromising those 'adult' things. I love this community already!

I'm so glad to hear that! It has definitely been an inspiration to me and pulled me out of my creative rut. I'm sure you will do great here!
I'm glad you're still playing, my friend. Jam on
:)
