Since I cracked, I found I didn’t really need to cling to making music like I did. Haven’t even touched a guitar in over a year. Mostly I practice singing with my new voice, and I’m finally getting comfortable with that. Maybe even pretty good? But I don’t really write songs anymore.
I don’t really need to. Not yet anyway. At some point there may be Valerie Mars music, but it will only be once I’ve settled into my new life well enough that I’m doing it for fun & art instead of desperation.
