About Me

I can't say I've had a bad life. I've been tested, sure, but i believe I have come out well. There are people in my life, with whom I would not be here if it were not for their generosity, critizism, and optimism. I've been in love and I've been in pain, but hasn't everyone? I'm no different from you. I am blessed to have the hands to play guitar and the voice to sing. If I did not have this, I could not show you who I truly am. I've made mistakes. I've made many mistakes. I fall too quickly. I fall far too hard. Words are all I have. I hope you enjoy them.
