Just do what you love and love will remain...

Music really helps me get through hard times and cope with shit, it's like therapeutic. And I try to let all my feelings out because I know keeping them inside is not healthy. I feel like this is already a huge effort I'm making by trying to cope, rather than just laying in a bed depressed. I did that for the first few months of my loss actually, but slowly I started to push myself out of bed and distract myself. I just continue to make music and doing what I love. All we can really do in a time like this is to at least get up every day and try, just try to push forward and keep on doing what you love; keep making music, surround yourself with people who care about you, keep yourself distracted. It's what's helped me get through this and I didn't even think I'd make it this far; it's been 7 brutal months for me, but I fucking made it through even if I did have to drag myself most of the way and I'm much stronger than I was before... You know, I've come to realize that the ones you love are really never gone; they are still alive in our memories and in our hearts and in our spirit... And I know that may sound a little cheesy, but it's true. A part of them will always be with you and vice versa because you shared something that no one else can replace; that connection, that love. Continue to keep it alive through your memories because the only time something is really gone is when it dies inside of you.
