You guys came at a good time for me. I had no idea what I was getting into, and I was a little nervous and scared. You came out of no where, honestly, and in just a few weeks, we have really created something of ourselves. Three weeks ago I would have never pictured myself sitting in a car for five hours, having some of the best conversations I've had in my life. Transitioning from 2016 to 2017 was not the best time for me, and I didn't know how much I needed you until I realized I couldn't imagine where I'd be without you.
The truth is, I didn't know how close you could grow to two people in a matter of weeks. I didn't really know how much making music would not only bring people together, but bring me out of my shell and help me heal. We took an idea and made it into reality, and now, we are having some of the best times of our lives simply making music.
I want to say thank you: for reminding me to laugh at myself, for reminding me of what I have to offer to the world, for being unbelievable musicians and even more incredible people, and most importantly, for the endless support and harmonies you provide in my life. You truly mean the world to me, and have shown me a kind of love for music, people, and life that I didn't know existed.
To those reading who aren't Katie or Joe, I want to tell you to try something new. Try something that you're not sure you'd love, something that you're scared to do, and do it anyway. It could really surprise you. Surround yourself with good people and take in the positive energy. Especially when going through difficult times, these people and these experiences can be your rock and the highlight of your day. Being involved in this group has caused me to grow in ways I couldn't describe. It has encouraged me to step outside of my comfort zone, to meet amazing individuals, and to be incredibly raw, honest, and open with my feelings and emotions, and to not be ashamed of it. No matter what the future holds for this band, I know that it will be a part of me. Because I know that this is what life is supposed to be about.
Cheers to Two Bank Street. Thank you.
