- This is such a long
and complicated story. One I covered quite extensively
5
years ago.
What remains true, is the person this is about still has
never contacted me (we are still connected on FB, though
no one seems to use that much anymore) and as I say in
the song "at this point forced apologies won't mend the
past". But having it all brought up again 27 years later
just ripped me apart. It made for a very, very difficult
song for me, but one I'm quite proud of.

- After a drink or two
one night I told Talya I was gonna tag her in the song
'cause FUCK IT after 30 years, but I won't. It's
just not fair, she was so young, she was so influenced by
the religion and the religious school that made every
young woman feel guilt for ANY pre-marital ANYthing. And,
of course, she could absolutely have felt pressured. Of
course as I wrote in the entry, her words and actions
were that of a girl who was simply hyper-concerned that
I'd think she was a slut (as if that was bad when you
were a teenager) and that was the only pressure or
concern she had. Because goodness once that was off the
table? Oh, there was most certainly no holding us back.
Goodness teenage hormones are crazy.
-
- And so ends the 2nd
dozen. Outside of "The Journey" I'm making 12-song mixes
of these songs so you can listen to the all in a row.
Basically, for Talya so she can listen in the car. Yes,
this project has basically just become the 2020s way of
making a mix-tape for your girlfriend ala 1988. You know,
when Talya turned 4.
