Hi IF,
You have mentioned quite a bit about yourself here. I used to have a couple of cousins who had dirt bikes and road bikes. I loved cruising around with them. One day I stacked the dirt bike. Did a huge mono and flew over the handlebars into a fence. Not my best moment on a motorbike!
I never learnt to play music. One of my nieces played the piano. I would call her nearly every week and she would play a song for me. I loved it. She also sang a song about a Kookaburra sitting on an electric wire with his pants on fire. I loved those phone calls.
Like you and others have mentioned, we may all have moments where we feel like we are alone, then we can just pop onto this forum and have a "chat" with someone.
ABBA, Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, The Eagles etc : when you hear those old songs, where are you taken back to? It is interesting how songs as well as things like smells can take us back to days gone by.
The Eagles remind me of rainy days parked down near the beach with a group of friends singing away watching the waves crashing in.
I'm sure a lot of us had or still have parts of our personalities and characters we might desire to be different. My younger sister used to call me Bully Beef as I was such an angry child!
Friends? A few good ones or even a couple who care are worth far more than dozens who just hang around and then disappear when they have had enough.
Is writing songs like poetry? I presume the idea is similar in a way.
Anyway, hope you have a creative day.
Cheers from Mrs. Dools
