Before the flowers of friendship faded friendship faded.
An audience is always warming but it must never be necessary to your work.
I loved my 17 years with R.E.M. but I'm ready to reflect assess and move on...
I realised how paranoid and guarded and not trusting - walled-in - I had become. Not consciously so but just this armour that I kind of have protective armour. It's not for my friends or family but for being.outside in the world always on guard.
