As a songwriter, I have one rule: I always say it to the person before I write it in a song. If I feel that I can’t speak some truth to you first, I won’t sing it about you after.

Art imitates life.
Fiction imitates memory.
Avoidance imitates heartbreak.

I suppose if you can’t tell the difference when it matters, the next best thing is a metaphor.

Wrapped up the Idaho chapter of my silly little life this past week and have been thinking a lot about the things we do for love and art. Not sure I make a distinction between the two, when it comes down to it. My motivations are the same with both.

Very proud of the work I made while I was there. And also I am so happy it’s all over. ❤️

Donated the old Cadillac I bought for my ex way back when to charity today. It’s been fun to drive it all around Portland the past few weeks while it’s been parked at my place but it was time to just let that last piece of the whole damn experience go.

Did you know you can donate your old car to most local humane societies? Repossess the vehicle you bought the man you thought you were going to marry and give it to a dog! Or a cat! Feels good. ❤️
