September has been another month that didn’t suit my fancy. It was another month filled with separation, loneliness, and frustration. People left, I made tough decisions, and spent a lot of time thinking by myself. It’s been difficult for me to get through it, but I did.
I’ve been looking through my camera roll to recall the memories of September, but honestly I don’t have many. A lot of my time was spent alone with my music. Most nights, I came home from work, took care of the animals, and sat down at the keyboard. I’m no piano player by any means. I know basic chords. But sometimes, that’s all you need to get that music out. I recorded a bunch of it, but there isn’t much worth sharing. It was mostly practice.
This was the month I decided I needed to give my notice to resign from my position at work. As far as this site goes, I’ve been very open about how much I love my job. I’ve gained so many skills and opportunities and friendships. I’m very sad to be leaving, but unfortunately, it’s what’s necessary for my lifestyle at this time. Many people have given me crap about it, but I’ve had enough of it. Yes, I will miss my job very much, but I do believe this is the right decision for me right now. The animals need me. The house needs me. My family needs me.
The animals have been keeping me great company and have kept me very busy. I love it. If it wasn’t for them, I would be in a much worse state. They stay close to me. They give me purpose. I’m grateful for them.
Lastly, here is a small clip from one of my little music sessions.
