“But really, as a songwriter, the only thing I do is make jewelry for the inside of people's minds. That's it.” ” - Tom Waits

Without fear, there can be no bravery. I accept fear but don't back away from it. It point you somewhere like all negative feelings do. I was never afraid to follow my dreams though. Maybe that's because everything else seemed to be so much scarier. Music gave me purpose and meaning. It made me want to learn. It made me want to socialize and be a better communicater. Music found me on a one way road to chaos and failure, showed me an exit and put me on the map to a joyful life. It was the cornerstone of my personality, my survival and is now a gateway to my true Self.
