I am too late to the party. I just discovered “All too well” by Taylor Swift. And then I watched the 15-minute version as well.
And it made me think, how grief is a universal language.
She sang that song when she was feeling very very sad. It was her Mom who later asked the sound guy if he had recorded it.
And look at the masterpiece she has built. Wikipedia says the song is her magnum opus.
So, my friend, when an urge hits you to create, to write, to sing a song, to dance—anything that is a call from the realm of art, act on it. Even if you have an urge to work on a business presentation or a work project, act on that urge.
We are mortals doing things every day that we must be doing. We do them out of responsibility.
But urge is something that does not happen daily. So when it does happen, it is your responsibility to act on it. The reasoning mind cannot explain the reason for it, but the subconscious mind craves just that right then.
Trust your urge.
