Hey everybody.
Thanks to all of you, I feel like I've finally found a niche that isn't cumbersome.
I enjoy writing. It's like keeping a journal of my most important stuff and sharing it with all of you.
I am also taking donations to help keep the blog going, but they really aren't necessary at all.
What's of the utmost importance to me personally is the health and well being of all of you. Many of you have discussed with me things that have really really helped me to see what's really important. Supporting all of you in all your struggles and with your creative outlets is very important.
Many of you have unfulfilling jobs that you have to have in order to pay for the necessities that this life requires. I understand the struggle totally. In writing this, I've decided to take the donation button down as soon as I finish this post.
Money has never been of great importance to me, although I've always had a liking for nice audio equipment and decent clothes. But as long as I have the basic necessities in life, that's what really matters.
I started this post with the intention of writing about music, but I think this piece has taken on a different direction as I continue to write.
A friend reached out to me today in my Twitter inbox. Several of you have. The thing he said was that I needed to let writing define who I am. That meant a lot.
It does feel natural to me to just sit here and think, write, and type. It's a very simple process for me. I just sit here and type whatever I'm thinking at the exact moment that I'm typing it.
None of this is scripted.
None of it is written down.
This is a pure, unfiltered look at my heart and soul. And it's for every one of you that clicks the hyperlink that sends you to this page.
True artistry is not about how much money you make or how many nice things you have. Money dilutes the experience of the art, and places the art further away from the people that make it possible.
Support is defined by being a true friend, no matter what the situation is.
It's defined by being loyal.
By being there when it matters.
Through the best and worst of times.
Many of you have seen me through some of my darkest days this year. Gave your support when it was needed.
Offered words of encouragement.
Sent positive vibes, peace, and love my way when I needed it the most.
What I do every day is for all of you.
We share the same passions.
Similar struggles.
And so much beyond that.
That's why I will never accept donations on this blog. I refuse to accept any monetary support, no matter how little, in exchange for my writing.
