Feel Like Myself Again by Brendan Benson

Because hard luck is all that I had
And I felt stuck in the mud
I was a sad and sorry case
But I turned about face
And I feel great
I’m gonna run and I won’t brake
For nothing, no one, just wait
Til I feel like myself again
Til I feel like myself again
Til I feel like myself again

Seasonal depression, stress, debt, lack of excitement (or inability to be excited), lack of exercise and getting chubby, the constant battle between the idealist and realist within me, feeling uninspired, spending every waking moment in front of my computer at work, fear of what might come out and what it might mean or do…I can’t really pinpoint what it was that made me throw my hands up in the air one day and stop blogging. It was so many months ago, I can’t even begin to remember.

All I know is after getting back from SXSW Interactive in Austin yesterday, I am unbelievably inspired. Renewed.

The people. The brilliant people. The fun people. The technology. The feeling of being alive and on the precipice of the it and seeing the future of our collective tomorrow. It was what I needed.

There is lots to tell about the conference - and about the past few months. I’ll be working to get it all out on here in the next few days.

I’m back - re-inspired and free of whatever was holding me back.
