Sometimes I'm conflicted about what I'm writing, or not feeling I am up to the task, or want it to be "perfect."

The work has ears, someone once told me. Treat it kindly.(less)

I don't know who or what I'd be without it.…moreThe same thing I love about playing music: you're never alone. Art is a way of being with yourself. I don't know who or what I'd be without it.(less)
