If I'm not doing anything to make a change, then I'm responsible.

Because you never know where life is gonna take you, And you can't change where you've been, But today, I have the opportunity to choose.

Tolerance is the seed, and the gift of pure acceptance is the tree

One of the things that I've worked my way out of doing, and I knew that I needed to, was comparing myself to other people. That just poisins everything. It all of a sudden dtermines even clothes you're going to choose to wear that day or what you're going to do with a music production or how you're going to sequence it. It poisinseverything. Your real job in the world is to be you. Comparing yourself to other people I think that hurt me more than anything. Allowing myself to go there so much in my head hurt me.

When it comes down to the song writing, I'm just very slow - very slow. Because the songs are about my life, so I'm doing emotional work on myself. As I'm writing these songs, I have to learn these lessons and dig real deep into my heart to write this stuff.

I decided that instead of apologizing for having a lot to say, I wanted to create a format where people would come to hear me sing and speak.

Any time someone is passionate about a cause, it's because they want to heal something inside of themselves.
