Why I started and Never Giving up. Blog #1

              I've avoided writing blog posts since the creation of my official website. I remember telling my self that I don't know what to say. The truth is there is a-lot I can say about this roller coaster ride, I just didn't know how to put it together. So here we go Blog #1 March 13,2022. 

              We all have our reasons for whatever it is we do. From work, too hobbies, and passions. The first step in any of it is finding our "why". Some things our "why" is more obvious than not; for example , Work. You may enjoy your job but there is one reason you are there, and that is to earn a living to support you and your families lifestyle. That's an easy one. The, there are things that you do that you have to dig a little deeper to find what is motivating you, but with out they 'Why" you will give up .

              I've thought over my "why" for perusing music. When it started it was my escape, the one place I was free to be myself without judgement. I could be anyone and anything I wanted to be with out being questioned. As the years went on my reasons changed. From wanting to connect with others, making some side money, back to it being an escape. The truth is I fell in love with the way stringing words and chords together felt like home. 

            In recent years it has been hard to stay motivated. We have all experienced a little bit of our. own personal hell from 2019 to now and it is enough to shake anyones foundation. There was a point that I was so exhausted with the grind and the politics of playing music that I wasn't. giving my supporters what they deserved when I plugged my guitar in. Then I found a new reason to do what I do. The songs I have been writing don't hide anything and some where in that I was able to touch people. Even if it is just one person it's worth it. My goal through my music is to be real rather it is a gut wrenching song or a joyful one. This world has turned so cold that we all need a reminder sometimes that we are not alone in our struggle, and that there is nothing new under the sun. At the end of the day I continue to do this because I saw my own light fading and I knew someone out there was feeling the same; sand maybe just maybe my music could open the door to tell them "Hey, things get better, you get stronger, and yo find another reason to move forward".
