Oh, and everything feels like "ancient history" when you listen to it after years and years have passed. You know, because you don't live in a vacuum and hopefully you feel improvement and evolution as you live your artistic life. Can you imagine how depressing it would be if it were the other way around? Knowing your best work was all behind you and you would never do anything that great again? I should hope most people would feel they are reaching for new heights, no matter how much they might love things from their past. We all have our "milestone" or favorite works, but I should hope we also try to make a future where we continue to live up to our own standards.
