Day Nine: Two images that describe your life right now, and why. I'm interpreting these as specifically images, not descriptions, tho' I'll talk about the images a little.

This Room is my Castle of Quiet

If you don't know about music and why it's the only thing that's helped me keep my shit together, you've come in a bit late to this game. Back up and read some of the earlier posts in this series, or better yet, check out the album. My musical life is all hacked together, largely set aside by others, and almost entirely self-taught - but it's the one I've got, and I've come a really long way in three years. Which brings us to...

Wolfrider Turn

Life still feels very two-steps-forward/one-and-a-half steps back. That's an improvement over two-forward/two-back, or two-forward/three-back, but it's still very, very hard. And Molly is, as always, determined. Even here, when alone.

I wanted to make this image into an icon a few years ago when I made the other Molly icons, but I couldn't make it work as a square, and I wanted all the Molly icons to be square, so I left it out. It would've been highly appropriate many times between then and now. Maybe I should've accepted a rectangular icon. I did, after all, already have some.

One day left.

who's molly?

Molly Star-Racer, as seen in many of my icons. She's the lead character in the retitled-for-the-US Oban Star Racers.

Love both images, for different reasons. I think I have some idea of what music does for you, even though my own musical life is an AAA battery beside your lightning bolt (and tonight I'm back from choir practice, for the first time since my latest bout of depression started last summer--yay for small victories).

Yes! Good for you.
