About Me


I am waking up.

I am a human being.

I was born one.

I learned who I was.

I am still learning.

I will love someone.

I will love myself.

I will have a beautiful life.

I will die.

Life isn't about "what's next?". It's more than likely about not worrying about it. Getting through to the next day is what we've come to make our mission. When it should be more of what makes us smile and laugh.

I'm in a band called The Color Truth. We are a rock band. Check out the first of my Top Friends and you'll find it. Add us please, and you won't regret it....... I promise.

The other day, I was at a default with myself. Life started to seem too boring. Or, non-eventful I guess. Wishes that were made, never came true. Lives that saved, never said thank you. I know what I'...
