Farewell

Sometimes, we just have to say farewell to something taken too soon. Someone taken too soon. Opportunities or possessions taken too soon or that need to be replaced but cannot be. There's been a list of farewells but I'm not being very vocal about it. There's no need to be.

Under the assumption people want to grow, eventually you come to not only realize who you are as a person but the long list of things you don't and shouldn't have to deal with. The wild thing is these thoughts come at a time in which things are going pretty good in my personal life. I don't want to jump the gun or anything but for the first time in a long while, I had a feeling week of work and was actually happy about it. This was a victory week and something I hope to get used to. While it would be nice to celebrate that with others, they don't have to live your life, nor would they necessarily feel the same way about something going right for you. Sometimes you have the extra hand, sometimes you don't. Shouldn't stop you from seeing what has taken place.

Communication is a valuable thing when you care about someone or something. Saying whatever you can to try and go towards a set goal or outcome. If the needs don't line up however, this could mean that it doesn't work out between the two parties. In my current line of work, over half my clients are signed up for a service I just learned about. Given they know not a ton about us as a startup, they have to trust you. Trust is key and also where communication comes into play. When trust does, everything else slowly crumbles. It's like this online, professionally, family, friends, spouse, children. You can't avoid this. People will eventually go their own way. If it's a business that is pretty much guaranteed. They'll find someone else to fill the seat.

We too, in one's adult life, are essentially filling seats. As we grow, there may be less and less of them. Not inviting certain people to the table anymore. Making sure the glass you have to pour from is not only enough for everyone plus yourself, but you are able to do it in the first place. If you're serving too many and neglecting yourself, you're in trouble. If you've attempted to repair a fractured relationship and it goes the same way or unattended, you know all you need to know. I'm not one to give up on things, but if it is time, it is time.

So...as hard as it may be sometimes, I bid farewell to not only just what is not of value to me but any source I know does not value me as a person. Might also be time to say farewell to things that no longer will exist, like a dead franchise for whatever form of media you like. Doesn't mean you can't remember the good times and it goes for people too. When it has taken its natural course however, you smile, nod, and leave it be. It could be the very thing that clears your mind and/or a path to your very own personal growth. Decluttering, if you will. People or things, releasing the excess things will bring a more vivid vision towards the end goal.

I'll end this with one of the better things and a reference to the picture. Castlevania main line (canon stories) may have died with Shanoa in Order of Ecclesia, but that doesn't mean it has to die in our hearts. Thank you to the fandom currently taking a chance on me and my voice submissions for an awesome fan project. It has brought me joy and considering much else since in the direction of progression.

i’ve been algorithmically catered to for so long that i forgot how it felt to want something real not trending, not optimized. just… mine.

maybe the real rebellion isn’t glowing skin or metallic fits. maybe it’s waking up in this body — soft, tired, healing — and saying: "you’re enough. stay."

no edits. no upgrades. just presence.

I'm still very proud of this moment and I'm dealing with the fact that it didn't solve all my problems. It wasn't the magical cure all to my life like I was hoping...go figure. Lesson learned. Don't stop living even if where you are living is not where you want to be.

Day 112 2023

To Anonymous:

I was waiting for you in silence. I thought of you every single moment. Everything about you is still a big mystery that is yet to unfold. I don't even know ypur name and even your looks. I know nothing about you but I am more excited of how the two of us will end up standing at the same road. I have waited for years and am still praying for that one single moment to arrive, very soon. 

I look forward of how our stories will come to life and how we will be making our own fairytale. 

I couldn't wait of so many things between us to happen: how our first talk would be like. Perhaps, maybe, it would be full of laughter not able to notice how time is running so fast that even the sun is setting calmly behind us; our first walk together while you are holding my hand tightly, that it gives me chills, warmth and security; our first date as a couple that would be full of unexpected moments; our first fight where we'd become each other's tears and how we would reconcile; our first meeting with our parents to get their approval.

I have so many things to look forward to. I want to experience the feeling of emptiness when you're out of reach. I want to know your flaws and overcome it. And as much as I want to, I want to endlessly love you. 

Please know thay I am just here, silently praying and patiently waiting. And I hope that my message reaches you in any way possible.

I’m gonna be honest…2019 was not fun.   This year was met with more personal pain and more adversity than I have ever endured.  From the medical situations, the mind-bending reclusive spiral that often comes with such, band problems, subsequent unwarranted and unfair lambasting, and other miscellaneous yet damaging things, this year seemed like a rather darkened end to this decade.   But I made it through.  And things got brighter.  Much brighter.   While not 100%, things got better and better.  I made new amazing friends, and reconnected with others.  I made the last quarter a memorable one by doing a few shows that were nothing short of EPIC in my opinion.   Without God, McGiggles, my family, my friends new and old, the radio show, the awesome power boost that was the #mayvinvylchallenge, many many many retail therapy trips to my favorite home away from home away from home @parkavecds, all of my bandmates (complete with a new awesome bandmate!), the stage, and MUSIC in general...I don't know if I would have gotten through it.  I thank and love you all.   2020 is upon us with many projects coming to light.  More videos, more vinyl posts, more dopeness!  The return of LIVE! From Dope City, and recordings from your favorite Chris-related projects and more.   It's about VISION.  See you in the New Year.   Love,   Christopher W.

The Crossroads

It might be alright after all. In some brief moments of clarity, I've come to realize a few things due to some recent events between the two places I spend most of my living hours in. In trying to help everyone and be a middle man of sorts, try as you might to view all sides, suddenly you're dishonest or disloyal to someone. No way you can keep all parties happy, so someone gets mad, and thinks you sold them out for being honest...meanwhile you're doing your best to be the peacekeeper. The problem? Not all parties are being entirely honest with you to begin with. In these scenarios, best to just keep to yourself. Not everyone needs full transparency from you and sure as heck not full access to you as a person either. Asking for help is something we all do at one point or another and family traditions that tell you to just suck it up is outdated at the least and downright shit advice at the worst. There's also friends. Friends in which case, at times, might as well be family. Like I've said in other times, you miss all the shots you don't take. Among the despair from the last entry here, I'm still plotting towards a better path and it seems more possible due to the power of the internet. Ran into some financial trouble and some kind people are softening the blow. Resentment is a funny thing sometimes. How on earth can a person resent someone for a possession, but then actively seek to use said possession whenever possible? Talk about a double standard. You hate your friend for a having a home but ask more nights than not to stay over because you need a place to sleep? All of these are not great realizations...but there is peace in the middle path. Not all roads are created equal. I rather try to cross an unfinished road however, than try and cross one doomed to crumble.

It's a busy time for T.C.S.B currently... It's been a brief week or two where myself and my partner who I'll now refer to as 'Miss Measure twice' (simply because if I don't do things properly, I know about it.... dangerous territory 😂) have been in the process of moving in together. This is something that is a huge step for us and my art work too.... This will mean I will be moving my artwork into its own space and im hoping more opportunities to work on even more pieces of artwork 🤞 I'll update you once we're all moved in which is days away but for now, this is to say I'm not going anywhere, except patience is required for a new beginning... #commissions #uniqueartwork #newbeginings #cantwait #artstudio #patience #artroom #letsgo #ifindoubtflatout #tothefuture #moving #movingin #thebigmove #lifegoals #ambition #artist #handmade #packedup #neat #rallydiorama #scalemodel #thetimeisnow #scratchbuiltmodel #scratchbuilder #art #motorsport #excitingtimes #artistoninstagram #dioramaart #craftsmanship https://www.instagram.com/p/CeUCnifDGAp/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
