Six Degrees

While I would love to tell everyone about the wonderful events that transpired last March 31st, and the days leading to it, I do not think my words would give it justice. Frankly, I don't even know where to begin. Let's just put it this way: The Script were brilliant - passionate and charming as always; the night was perfect - one is never enough; and we felt infinite. I wish every day were March 31st.

You know how Chiropractors put your health back in order by a simple re-alignment of the spine? This show was like that - only it was chiropractic for my soul.

The days and weeks after the show, I found, brought about a kind of "process" and epiphany for me. Put me back on the right frequency/wavelength, if you know what I mean. It put me back in the right mindset, and brought back the inspiration and the urge to do all that I've always wanted to. In Six Degrees or steps.

FIRST
For a while after the show, I could not listen to The Script alone (and through my earphones) because I would get so overwhelmed with emotion it felt like I would burst. For one I was euphoric after having seen some of my favourite people live again, and after having just experienced one of the best nights of my life. But at the same time I felt heartbroken over the thought that it was done, the source of so much joy and excitement over the past few months had finally passed.

SECOND

Come the first few days of April, still not able to listen to them alone without feeling like I was going to crack, I'd play them loud through my speakers instead. With them in the background I felt the urge to be productive so I started cleaning my room, and clearing my mind and finding a fresh perspective on things while at it. 

THIRD

With the fresh perspective came the realization that I've always known what I wanted to do with my life and that it was not impossible to achieve. I decided I was going to chase after it again, starting by opening myself to options I hadn't considered before.   

FOURTH 

I chose to believe again that my prayers were being answered and the Universe was leading me towards my dreams. I was in the right place at the right time, and anything happening at the moment was not there to confuse or trouble me but was actually presenting so many possibilities. 

FIFTH

A need to be more patient presents itself. Nonetheless, it's also another prayer answered. Things don't always go as we imagine, but they happen and, in this case, are happening right. 

SIXTH

Things are looking bright again. I'm not as anxious as I had been the last couple of months or so. In fact, I'm more excited about the future again. It's still a struggle to be patient sometimes, but I think about how I felt on March 31st and the few weeks right after that, and I feel better.

Yes, I got all that from one band, one show. Such is their effect on me. Seriously, it's like magic. Or again, just chiropractic for my soul. :)

Wishing yours some of it, too!
