The other night at my NASH.V.ILL show, my bassist Josh made a comment about how he loved how Steph and I "work together as a team."
She manages our merch table at shows and I assist her when she has her Paradigm Expansions events.
I told Josh, "Thanks. I know that we can both succeed on our own, but us working together means we can reach even greater heights together."
I've been marinating on that concept.
In the past, I've been in relationships where I was present, but also had my own goals that I was laser focused on. I was supportive, but my drive was always rooted in my own accomplishments and agenda. I was in the relationship, but not thinking of "our future."
With Steph, I think the winning component is that we both have big aspirations, but our base is rooted in US working together and building our life.
It's a team effort, even with our goals being different. Her dreams are now my dreams to because I want to help her achieve them. There's the classic saying "Teamwork makes the dream work."
We reimagined it to say, "Teamwork makes the work a dream."
