This weekend I'm off to Sligo for what will be a massive session for my friend Matt's house warming and my friend John's going away drinks. It's going to be great to catch up with a lot of my friends.
Over the past three years I've missed a lot of family occasions and friends birthdays due to being away on tour or more recently money problems. It's been something that's unfortunately aided the breakdown of friendships and relationships over time but these things happen when you choose a career path that's more like a circus than an average job. I've often thought how nice it would be to have a normal 9 to 5 job but every time I do work in other jobs I really start to miss the crazy lifestyle that comes along with music.
At this point in my life I wish i was more financially stable rather than scraping through each week, but I'm also very grateful for having the opportunities and experiences I have had. My future at this point is very unclear and wont get any better for some time but I'm focusing on the good things like my friends and family and I'm trying to just enjoy life.
With the way the world currently is, it's very easy to get depressed and feel like there really is no point to our existence. It's something we battle on a regular basis these days but I try to remain positive by spending time with the people I care about and trying to not let life pass me by.
So I'm looking forward to Sligo on Saturday and hope the hangover isn't too bad. Knowing my friends it will be, but just like life at the moment we can all struggle through together.
