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!
