I completely understand what you're saying. Floyd's comments are spot on, though -- maybe consider some time off as a "reset". It's about the music you want to make.

I have a pretty busy life and I go in spurts with the music. I'm getting started on a new spurt, but I've been gone for months. I had put another song out several months ago, but then it was months again before that that I was on the forum.

I actually feel a little guilty for disappearing and not listening to others' stuff while I'm gone, then popping in with my own. But it's the way my life goes. Everybody's got a different road.

Everybody gets it. We're social beasts. Everybody seeks approval whether they want to admit it or not. Addiction is not healthy, though. Most people don't realize that's what's happened to them when it does, but you have. That's good.

Reset, get an attitude that works better for you and we hope to see you around again.
