So much in life needs our constant attention
Be a grown up. Upkeep and vigilance
Nothing is said without equivocation
Waiting to be put back in your place

Be a grown up. Upkeep and vigilance
Anxiety weighs on us, the millstone of a Saint
Waiting to be put back in your place
The struggle with darkness leaves its taint

Anxiety weighs on us, the millstone of a Saint
Back and forth, the voices in authority
The struggle with darkness leaves its taint
Try to be good. Try to create security.

Back and forth, the voices in authority
Nothing is said without equivocation
Try to be good. Try to create security.
So much in life needs our constant attention.

Band, Being a grownup, Hugs, Job, NaNoWriMo, Stress, Unrelated, Writing

Alright, so things in my life have been going, well, all over the place is probably accurate. So a short update.

  1. I reached 30k words in NaNoWriMo last night, I’m more than half way!
  2. the band is coming along really well, we’ve got some good songs coming together
  3. my job situation is up in the air and moderately stressful, but it’s more a case of working out which job to take than not having one, so that’s nice.
  4. my housing situation is in a bit of a state of flux which is moderately stressful
  5. I don’t get enough hugs in life. I also don’t give enough hugs.

That’s it, really.
