As an adult of a dysfunctional, alcoholic family, I was invisible, except for the routine "BELT". I am tired of playing the victim and feeling never good enough while at the same time always trying to please others. One day I read an article, "Three Words That Will Save Your Life".......here it is........."I AM RESPONSIBLE".  Sorry this is so heavy but always remember those words.  Wishing you the best.

Sending lots of love and encouragement.  We can't please everyone.  There will always be those with negative energy who want to bring us down due to there own insecurities.  You are a good person.  Hugs...

Don´t know if it´s an artist thing to always aim higher, think most people do (isn´t actually everybody an artist, famous or not?). Guess that´s what makes you keep trying, learning and, in the end, growing...(and you´re never too old to learn, right?). The risk of never feeling satisfied is, unfortunately, the down side of it.

Reading your blog and the comment of Diane Beamer, i wonder why you write ´SOMEONE lifts it up an inch or two`, don´t we do that ourselfes?!?

I can very much relate to taking things personally/ too personal, it´s hard to find balance between taking other people serious and being and staying true to yourself. When i get a negative comment , i always try to think of that great line ´But it´s allright now, i´ve learned my lesson well, you see you can´t please everyone, so you gotta please yourself``!! (mmm, just red the story behind this song on WikipediA and that the title of that song is actually ´GARDEN party`!?!) and at the same time trying not to become an unconsiderate person. Think also that this is what makes you stay real and beautifull; you don´t get blinded by the thousands of positive reactions, but are still hurted by the few negative ones...

Wish you have fun tonight en hope to see you and the rest of the band in Cologne!

(ps thanx for picking me out the crowd in Amsterdam!!)
