so... i performed today as a guest of another student/friend at the university i graduated from. while sitting in the class, it was really like ridiculous the praises they spoke of me. not that i require the validation. the reason it meant so much has to do with the level of appreciation there was for my craft and the impact that i had made on the department just by being a good guy.
it's extremely difficult to remain a good guy when it seems not to matter to a soul. yet, every once in awhile there's an act of God that goes to show that attempts in good spirits amount to something and aren't done in vain. the professors said "if there's anything you need, please just ask. you deserve all the good has come your way and even more as good things happen to good people." and that really stuck with me. this wasn't some cliche churchgoers' phrase or exclamation, not to say those don't matter, just seems like they say it because that's what they're supposed to say sometimes. but to have someone make themselves available to me in the same way that i've always done what i can to make myself available to others... it was refreshing, to say the least.
these are the gems of life. the things that take place unexpectedly, that pay you off in a way that really touches the heart. the things that let you know that what you do actually matters and doesn't go unnoticed. cherish these moments, because they are few and far in between. but these moments are special and should most certainly revitalize us when we feel like none of this is worth the effort. push on. God would tell us that's what Christ had to do. not to be deep, just to be real. things pay off when we least expect them to and it winds up feeling the best for a more considerable amount of time.
thanks professors. and tudy. fellow su music dept students and faculty. i needed this today.
