When you're passionate about something, it's hard to put it down.  No matter what it is, what you do, or what's in your way. You sacrifice.  If you don't, you feel like there is no point.  There really isn't an 'if', because you end up doing it anyway. Before you know it, you're writing something, playing something, or thinking about it.  That's me everyday.  I hear sounds, tunes, patterns, transitions.....all day long.  I was hoping to get a break from creating for a week or 2, but it's not going to happen.  It's like a never-ending marathon.  I drink plenty of water, so it's cool.
