My doc tells me I shut down the right side of my brain around 1965 because my parents and significant other taught me it was not proper to be artistic and have feelings. I was told to get my life organized and leave my music behind.
After college, I married and went to professional school where I was taught that anything less than perfection was total failure. That was the standard for my life and for my profession, so my art and my emotions were buried deeper as I moved into the left side of my brain.
That was my life until a couple of years ago. I retired from my profession, my mother died and I met someone who rekindled my emotions. Suddenly all the feelings that were suppressed for forty-two years came rushing out of me and I have been out of control since. The right side of my brain will not be locked up any longer
That is my story and I'm sticking to it.
