My love...
the fall has hit and slowly the summer warmth fades out... It's a weird feeling to see seasons change, letting us know that time passes by and will never come back... Making us realize that everyday is meaningful if we don't take it for granted and if we really do everything we can to keep ourselves out of the secure comfort of stagnation and lazy routine... Aren't we all looking for borders to frame our dreams and anchors to master our life, hoping to control what we don't even understand most of the time... No wonder we are freaking out when we realize we don't have much understanding of others as we hardly manage to control our own thoughts, actions and reactions... no wonder we can't admit we have such an endless need of love and understanding, a need to feel important, a need to be secure and just to know that we are at the right place... there's nothing wrong in questioning where we're at and where we want to go next...
Aren't you fed up of just thinking and rethinking about what happened yesterday, last year, your childhood and take these as excuses to stagnate, paralyze in a thick mud of self pity or self destruction, blinded on the beautiful gift and talent you have? Aren't you tired to drag this heavy burden of trying to be perfect and to make it all happen on your own with the pride of doing it all alone? So you don't need anyone right? but who's gonna share your victory? What is worst...Crying with someone because you failed or winning and not having anyone to celebrate with?
You might say "I've never found real and nice people to share and be true with"... I believe you... They are hard to find because it involves suffering to be real and true, it requires humility and generosity to take the time to welcome someone without judging, without imposing our own vision... it goes against our selfish nature to love without expecting some kind of return on our investment... That is why in our YFE family we treasure the relationships so bad! We found in each other an open heart that is encouraging us to BE that refuge for someone else... someone once said that there is nothing better than giving our life for our friends...giving your life... What a crazy thing to figure! Then I look at what is going on here... I see this week that Alex is still sick... but knitting in his head the plan for the whole year ahead of us, the album, the videos, the tour, the promotion, the fans, the crew, the studio... I rarely see him taking time to relax or rest... He would never accept for something to go only half well... he is pushing so that all departments can run smoothly and effectively... Alex is constantly thinking of the next step, always a step ahead to be able to avoid hurts, predicting the challenges and making sure everyone is ready in order to succeed... In the end the only thing that matters for Alex is that the whole family enters in its destiny with each individual it his place.
It is amazing to see, as we are moving forward in our destiny as a band, that every one of us enters the next level of our talent and role... This week, Ben has been shopping and negotiating to get the finest studio equipment for the album recording, at the best price, thinking and rethinking about what would be better to produce the best YFE sound...Can you believe this guy never EVER studied in a music school? He learned everything by himself and I have truly never met someone as talented and musically intelligent as him! Why is Ben in such a proactive and important position that influences not only his own career and ours but also will influence so many other artists? Because he is surrounded by loving people and HE decided to grasp that love, to trust, to be himself, to take his place and to love in return. It's the same thing for you my friends! Be in movement! Be proactive! Choose to go forward and try to love and trust! Surround yourself with people that are not just there to please you or use you... choose people that will push you even if you don't feel like it, people that will not let you sit down when it's time to rise and shine, people that will stand for you when you'll be weak... and if you have NO ONE like that around you, BE that person for others and BE the first one... You know you have Your Favorite Enemies behind you as much as you let us be in your life... We want to open this path for you, show you what is possible... but do you want to see this path? Do you want to open your eyes and jump? I have a hard time doing it myself... I understand your hesitation... But really... if time passes by so quickly...why not spend it with our eyes opened? with our arms opened? with our hearts opened? with our hopes BRIGHTENED!
I love you
Miss Isabel
