Hey Hive, all good? Today nothing fancy for me, I'm here at a gas station drinking a beer while I look in the map how to get back to Paraguay. I'm going there to see how the busking goes because I've been playing over and over at the same market and I don't want to bore the shit out of the staff that works there. Gotta give them some time to rest from the same songs hahah.
Life is good overall but I sometimes get caught up in the challenge of how to improve my situation. Things tend to degrade faster than I can keep up with. My clothes keep getting stained, my bagpacks are tearing apart, the strings of the guitar are always getting cut and money starts to run out super fast if give myself the space and time to enjoy other things.
You might think, shouldn't you skip the beer then and save the money? And you are correct. I should. But always doing what you should degrades your mental flexibility, makes you rigid and keeps you in a sour mood that degrades your health.
For now the strategy is just to keep practicing singing and hopefully at some point that will start to invert the situation.
Here's a Brasilian classic I'm learning right now:
Got a long ways to go 😂
