Well, it is official! I am retired, that’s right retired. Wasn’t sure if this day would ever come when I was a young man. This day seemed to be a long way off yet, here we are. We are getting our wandering legs going again and where we are going is a small northern town in Northern B.C. Such a quiet place where hopefully my brain can retire a bit itself. No real guarantee’s of course but that pursuit is never ending for me. As The Tragically Hip song says “waiting for a place to happen, making stops along the way” will this finally be where i can find some peace. Most people i have talked to about this think it is easy…just do it! I totally wish I could agree with them. I know that they mean well with comments like that but, it always makes me think i am more broken than i figured. If it was that easy then why haven’t i been able to accomplish this simple task yet. Probably because it is not that easy! Such a stigma attached to mental health and i wonder if they will ever treat it like a broken bone of a scrapped knee. No they won’t because there is too much money in keeping us on their medications, keeping us docile. I can’t live that way so, I need a small quiet place where i can rest my brain for a while. Even had someone say to me that I was heading up north to kill myself, how the ever loving crap does someone say this to anyone. Why would they say that? Kind of pissed me off big time but all i want is no attachments, no actual commitments just me doing my show and listening to music is that too much? One headlight by The Wallflowers is one of those songs about resilience, pushing thru difficult times with whatever limited resources you have. Moving forward with One Headlight symbolizes moving forward on a journey even when you lack full capacity, clarity, or everything is partially broken. Lets hope this time is the last time and there is hope, and less internal dialogue. Fingers crossed…
