Disclosure - Go The Distance

It’s Saturday night, been a long week but now it’s over. Usually when I walk through this tunnel, I strip the tiredness and stress away. I used to carry it with me all the way home and seal it shut with two cans of strong alcohol just to try and get by.

I’m happy I’m no longer there anymore and have learned to drop what I don’t need; the weight that holds me down and pulls the life and love to drown. I don’t touch alcohol unless it’s party time with friends or I’m DJing at a party. Every working adult has achieved this, the secret route to the warp zone and home. Work / Life balance.

I had the capacity to be a sponge and embrace the world with wonder and worry when it was going wrong. It’s good in increments but in really challenging times your shell breaks and you fall to pieces.

My sponge has not reached its limits, in fact I’m still happy to embrace the world, Disclosure’s new album just dropped yesterday and I’m so excited to listen to it fresh, feelings I had when the Chemical Brothers dropped Dig Your Own Hole, I’m just more confidently selective of what to soak up.

From open-ness to complete isolation and now on the upswing back to a positive equilibrium. This time older, and hopefully smarter.
