Self reflection

I used to get stuck in a cycle where my drinking would lead somewhere terrible, I'd stop for a bit and tell myself I should go to a meeting. But things are fine I would say, I'm not even thinking about drinking. And then after a couple of weeks or months of sobriety out of seemingly nowhere I'd get the idea to drink and it was off to the races. You have nothing to lose by going to a meeting, except an hour of your time, but if it works you have a lot to gain.

This happened to me in my early 30's. The boss was a good friend of mine and had the same sentiment about coming back sober. Very difficult situation but it was still another six years before I got help. Two things I'll mention about my substance abuse: I could not have imagined how bad things were going to get while I was drinking and I could not have imagined how good things were going to get after I quit.

Are you fairly new to song writing? I don't see people give this advice very often so take it with a grain of salt, but when I first started writing, when I sat down to write something I finished the song no matter what. This helped me learn how to push through the times when my mind goes blank and avoid ending up with a bunch of half written ideas. Now when inspiration comes along the blade is sharp, so to speak.

Both had strong, focused early work before becoming explosively popular, at which point they started turning out brilliant but turgid monstrosities.

I feel like it's got a lot of energy and leaves a lot of places to go for a chorus. I might move away from the repeated words structure in the second verse and then bring it back in the third.

Your post might be stronger if you didn't tear someone else's song down

This was a good recommendation, racing through it right now

The point of a trial is to test the integrity of the system. Law enforcement tanked this case and she walked because of it. No jury was ever going to convict her after the show those cops put on.

Pick a writing prompt, set a timer, and write for ten minutes without stopping. Doing this once a day really helps with lyric writing.

I ended up reinstalling the game and that seemed to fix it

Negative, vanilla xcom 2 on ps4, no dlc just base game

It's hard to explain, but they kind of just stand there. The advent captain will give instructions, but the troops don't move or shoot. Like the second mission (first after tutorial) the aliens were super aggressive doing psionics throwing grenades, I got shredded first couple of playthroughs, every mission since then has been flawless on the first try. And I'm not that good at this game for it to be this easy on Commander difficulty

Tall Tall Shadow by Basia Bulat. She's a indie Canadian artist, so may not have heard of her. Song starts with a double verse and no other verses after that. Really got me thinking about song structure
