everything must come to an end.

"so there goes my life/my body aches, and it hurts to sing and no one is moving/ and i will see you again, a long time from now..."
- City and Colour

it was a great run. though i choose to be completely oblivious to the reason why great things must cease, i guess whoever designed this whole existence thing must have included it in the package of life and learning. i will forever be grateful for the years of playing, of developing who i am as a person and musician and i will forever be their greatest fan. there may be more in store for me and the dela cruz brothers, but there will always be a void, knowing that we are now cautiously contiuing to take different steps as individuals. though we will always know where each of us are, it's sad realizing that we will no longer be able to share the stage collectively. not in the near-future, needless to say. the best times in my life and the most meaningful experiences i have endured happened while i was holding a guitar and going completely insane onstage with robert, russell and rommell. i thank them for making me part of their family.

as a unit, we are all thankful. for the strength we've gained and the lessons we learned will forever guide us back to who we are and where we come from. and for the memories of many understanding as much as we did. that is one thing we can never lose, forget nor abandon.

hazed, wasted and blown away.
