Title: Sarah's Adventures
Post by Kelly Goodlad on Jan 16th, 2004, 10:20am
Reading about Sarah's time up North, was anyone else insanely jealous?  I mean, to be able to take your piano somewhere for a month or more just to think and read and write and paint and...BE.  I know Sarah works hard, and that it takes a lot of discipline to be able to construct your own schedule and be self-motivated...but I'm wondering if there's anyone else out there, musician or other entrepreneur, who has managed to create this kind of lifestyle.  I hate the 9-5! :)

Insanely jealous.

yes, that I was indeed.  I am a bit of a hermit though, in a secret kind of way.  I have spent the last two christmases all to myself and refused all company.  My friends think I am crazy, and even worse: depressed.  But I don't think there's anything wrong with taking the time to just be with yourself and say "hey, how's it going? I've been neglecting you for a while... this time is all for you."

For a long time I have ranted to my friends that I want a cabin in the mountains without any electricity or furniture.  Just my guitar, a box of paints and something good to read.  When I heard Sarah had done just that (or at least something similar) I was like "SEE. I'm not nuts."

But, unfortunately the conventions of this world make that dream a slim possibility.  Work, work, work. We need money to live.  It's this fact that makes me all the more bitter and pine especially for that cabin in the mountains.

Perhaps it will happen, probably not, but we can always dream right!  :-/

Hey, none of us are crazy...Chris Martin of coldplay wants to live in a wooden house too, lol...I've always wanted to live far far away from the city ...after living in the city for so long, some change would do anyone some good  :)
