While I was taking a look at the Kickstarter homepage, I stumbled upon a music section and the first video I see is about this very indi, very alternative rock band called Sea Wolf promoting their new album without a record label. This is one of their earlier songs that I checked out called "Winter Windows". After listening to it a couple of times, like every song that sounds like it has some sort of mythical meaning, I started to really observe these lyrics. It takes me awhile to get some things first hand. I saw that (with the power of the internet) the lyrics are connected to loneliness and depression. I then began to realize that inside, I miss my siblings a little bit. Even though they still text me and use other electronics that are available this day in age to make their presence known, it could never compare to having them by my side. It's getting to be hard in the "being the youngest child" business after awhile because as time passes by, sometimes things start to disappear. Teachers retire, peers find other peers, sometimes even family go. When people face these feelings of loneliness and depression, they begin to feel that life's not worth it and that everything's just crap. I would never wanna stoop that low. Whenever I'm alone or depressed, I always try to occupy myself or do something to help me forget my self-loathing, which is a horrible habit that I intend to get rid of in the near future.
Anyway, the really huge point that I'm trying to make is in STAC you can never feel alone or depressed. In STAC, you already have people who accept you for who you are, no matter what. It's a place where you can feel connected with other STACies, getting to know of their interests and of what they got in for originally (how they branched off from their audition to a new interest. Like entering a new chapter in a clearly well-written book How well we bounce ideas off each other just boggles my mind. When you think about it, we're all one big artistically diverse dysfunctional family and we'll pretty much stay that way! Also, i'm sure any STACie or any other person who's reading this can relate to me in their own personal way!
What can I say. Great post. Well written. You're very welcome in STAC.
ReplyDeleteaw that was a really refreshing clog to read, it sounded as if you were talking in an interview of your experience so far in Stac in relation to the link.
