My days spent caring about this band are quickly dwindling. Could just be my advanced age (at least I'm younger than you, HR!) and my desire for complete simplicity in life, but I just don't get caught up in the day to day rumors, wonderings, ponderings anymore and can barely even muster interest in anything less than an official word from the band.
I don't hate anyone. I will always love this band and all it has given me over the years. I will always love and keep close the music they have given me. The rest just doesn't matter anymore.
I will buy any new music if and when it happens. I will see them on tour if and when it happens. Beyond that I'm letting go of it all, physically and mentally. Everything short of the music and Dave's book are going on Ebay when I feel ambitious enough to tackle that! Scrapbooks went in the garbage already last year.
I feel more liberated already. It is extremely exhausting loving this band. It shouldn't be that way. I'm too tired and old for it. OK, I'm only in my 40's like most of you, but I've been there since 1978 and it's been a long, long journey!
Edward has always said he's just a musician. He is ignorant to the idea that there are people out there that spend every day waiting and wondering. Most people don't get that. In the end, I try not to judge what other people do. Just because he doesn't do everything the way we want him to is really our problem, not his. Let go of your expectations of others and life goes on with no disappointments.
Remember the good old days and enjoy whatever comes in the future as it comes! It's all good!
Sermon over. Peace out, Army!
