This weekend has been filled with nonstop laughter and nothing but good times. I couldn’t have asked for a better way to kick-start this band, made up of nothing but my closest friends. I am so incredibly blessed to have this kind of brotherhood and love-actually.
Tonight, we all went grocery shopping and made a gigantic homemade meal for 5. Brinner at it’s finest. We set the table and ate until we blew up, followed by more laughing and too many cigarettes. If I could marry my best friends, I would.
I haven’t felt this good in a long time. All this non-stop, bullshit depression that’s been plaguing my mind as of late is all but present. I’ve got a new start and a new opportunity of a lifetime to hang my hat on. I can’t begin to express to you guys how much this band and how much the people in it mean to me. In our first show alone, we’ve impacted so many people. We’ve gotten messages on messages from people saying how they can feel something so much bigger than themselves in our music and they felt the undeniable presence of God they’ve been running away from for so long. We’ve caused smiles and tears, and a hundred lifted voices. I have never felt so at home with a group of people. All we’re doing is pouring our hearts on stage, and it’s finally making a difference in more lives than just my own.
My life always some sort of a left turn at every thousandth post I make on here, and this case is no different. I’m living life with the best people and having the best times. Joy is an understatement. I have found my worth in something more than just another person. I have a family. I have a strong bond with the Foxes and we are in way over our heads. I wouldn’t have it any other way.
There’s a whole world out there, and I think I finally, truly believe that I can change it.
