when I first bought my Mandolin I fell in love. I was going to spend the money partying, but standing in the music store I knew i would have get more pleasure from this small beautiful instrument than any few hours of partying.. I didn't realize how important it would actually become.. Since that day in September 2014 I always have her with me.. I am in no way an expert but i am in love, and she has become a crucial part in my creative process. Slowly i am hoping to save enough money to buy an acoustic electric so eventually when courage strikes i may choose to perform. being in that music store that day with my little brother Nick was easily one of the few positive things that happened in 2014, and became the force in which i processed the imbalance and destruction faced throughout the year.... i will always appreciate experience, getting to turn it into a positive through music or poetry gives me power over my fears and strength in moments of weakness. stay beautiful, fall in love with yourself, and challenge life with love.. because love is the ultimate sorrow <3
