I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.
Cutting negative people from my life does not mean I hate them, it simply means I respect me.
This life is what you make it. Not matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes, it's a universal truth.

The mythical thing can enter the creating but there's the mythical place and the real place. And there's both. . . I get it between waking and sleeping. Or, when I'm doing something else. I don't sit down and think I'm gonna write about subject X or subject Y. I could be doing something and an impression comes in from outside and the song emerges out of that. It's never thought about or contrived.
