Sunday thoughts

Hi everyone,

Just back from a songwriting session with the guitarist. I'm writing a song about breaking a pattern after being a slave of routines. Sometimes it seems like too many people are working hard with only the future in their minds and forget how to live in the present moment.  
There are too many unwritten rules and set patterns of what a good life is supposed to be these days. Study, study some more, work hard, get a family etc.
What amazes me with Dominican Republic for instance, is how people always seem so happy and at peace even though they have close to nothing. They live in the moment in a completely different way then here. If they want to visit a friend they go and knock on the door. Sometimes when I try to meet up with someone here I might have to plan it 2 weeks ahead.
It was quite scary to jump out of school for music, I guess it's about risking to fail to live your dream. I realized that if I'm ever going to be serious about music now it's the time to do it. At least I don't have to wonder what would have happened when I'm a 90 years old tripping down the memory lane.

Cheers,

Jessica
