Many days throughout the year things get tough, days when I don’t wanna get outta bed, go to work, or just “adult”. Many days like today, where my energy tank is ran empty two days ago and yet I’m reminded of a lesson I learned from my good friend Leigh ...
Now you friendship goes back many years and started when I met him at a bar where bis band was playing cover songs along with some originals ... Fast forward to 2011, a night I won’t ever forget ...
I’m hanging out back with Leigh, when he drops a massive bomb on me. His father had just past away. My first thoughts were “ why do this show. Cancel, go home, be with your family” ... That’s when he hit me with the second bomb ... “The show must go on” ... He continued to tell me how he wished he could cancel every show for the rest of the year, how he didn’t wanna go on, but said “No matter how hard life gets, you gotta get up, go on, continue ... the show must go on” ... In the moment I didn’t see it, I didn’t get it, but very shortly I understand what he was saying and tattooed it to my wrist so I wouldn’t ever forget ...
So now, when I have a day like today when nothing seems to go right and I just don’t have the energy, when I don’t wanna get outta bed or be professional, I look at my wrist and say “The show must go on”
