I won't be at any gigs for a while

so I probably won't get to meet very many of youu. :( I'm going to stop wearing makeup, buying new clothes, etc, because I don't need any of it. alcohol too. the things I 'need' money for, are not necessities. and tonight I've been thinking. really really thinking.
where would i be if i hadn't been taught how to write? how to express myself through writing?
I'd be a lot fucking crazier and sadder than i am now.
I can not express how grateful I am that I was given an education, even if i threw it away at the first chance I got.
and it's making me think.
those kids who we provide water for, food for - they're the priorities, right?
wanna know something? it's easy for me to say, i know, but I'd rather be given the gift of being able to write. their are probably so many undiscovered talents out there that will never BE discovered. so many people wanting to speak but not knowing how to get the message out. so many people whose minds are just as overcrammed as mine, who writing could be therapeutic for, an outlet, a dream.

that's why im giving up my material goods. it probably wont last. but i am determind this time. all the money i earn at work will go straight to unicef. the money i would have spent on concert tickets, alcohol, clothes: it's going to go to people who deserve a chance. im not telling you this to be self righteous. im telling you this because i think you guys should, im not saying you have to take it as far as i do, but maybe just a pound a month, the tiniest donation, and who knows how big an impact it will have on someone who needs it? bare love x
