Memory Box

It is mostly a memory now, the part I took in bringing info. from the Reggae-Rock scene to the people and fans. It all seemed so easy; yet, it was work! It was a great freelance job because it was and still can be considered a movement - there are people who use this music to alleviate some of their stress from everyday demands and injustices. It is a nice way to unwind or just listen to some really good tunes. I had it all when I wrote about music because I was able to check it out and then tell a story. It was awesome!

Nowadays, I wonder whether I should keep it all in a memory box. It is hard because I am with a musician who is still active in his band. In fact, the band is great and I should be excited that I get to go to their shows and listen to powerful music. It is more relaxing and fun to enjoy music vs. criticize it. Here I am, however, trying to decide if I should get involved again.

There are many reasons why I do not want to go down that road another time. I have tried my hand twice at getting involved in the music scene and I did not enjoy doing so as a journalist. I did not like having to compete with non-media to secure passes, I do not enjoy the favoritism, and it is, indeed, work. In fact, the main reason I would go back to reporting on the happenings is to bring information to the people. I believe I am doing some a favor by delivering awareness on what can touch a soul or move a body. I just cannot stand the industry portion of the music scene.

I am here with Pandora's Box and it is as if angels are telling me to go out and give information freely to the masses; yet, I still hesitate. Information is not free - in fact, it takes a lot of time and dedication. It can be enjoyable but it is a job. Although I could be useful to many parts of it, something is also telling me to leave it in the past. I should let it go like so many other things on my wish-list.

#Writer

As I fill my writing ambition with music, news, and blogging, I must admit, like one of my favorite band sings, "I'm exactly where I want to be." (Pepper)

I just got "signed" to a News website which boasts seven million readers and just put me through a program which sharpened by writing skills... a lot. Perhaps I can even call myself a journalist- a position I originally wanted to avoid due to deadlines, competition, and format.

Originally, I saw myself as an author. I dabbled in fiction and non-fiction writing, and admit it was fun creating stories, or re-telling ones. Honestly, however, my storytelling became repetitive, and I sought short, sweet stories instead. As soon as I finished graduating from college, however, I was approached to review and write about music. That was fun, and still is fun because I still do it! I love to do it, and I don't take it for granted! Sometimes, however, I can't always make the show; especially if I have to pay to review it! It's just the type of economy I am in.

Over the last three weeks, I wrote about news and topics which strongly hold my interest. Though learning the information to publish my articles was tough, I was so happy to write the approximately 30 articles I did because the subjects are meaningful to me. Although I just discovered what I am passionate to write about doesn't always make the views, it is still a great way to get information out there which I personally find both interesting, and sometimes vital! No one can please everyone, but still, there are some who share my interests and take the time to read my material. Again, for that I am grateful and a believer in unity! Not only is this reason part of the reason I write, but to write helps build knowledge and an informed opinion for myself and others. Information is vital and well-accepted!

I am a writer. I will "hashtag" the word because it is what I am and what I do. It does not define me; although, it defines my interests! I love to write- there is no doubt about that! I am grateful to be the writer I am today, and I look forward to keeping up the motivation! Otherwise, who will bring the news and reviews? I will pledge to do so when the time comes!

Thanks again to all my devoted readers! MUCH LOVE to YOU, always!
