The song "No Fairy Tale" tells my story. Going through the hard things leads to a richer life than just trying to make everything perfect, or worse, pretending things are good when they don't feel right. I've done that more than enough times.

Too much to ask for may leave me feeling lonely. Too little leaves me nothing.

I have three siblings. My sister makes music. My older brother is a classical conductor, and my younger brother is a mixing engineer.

Also, I'm always learning better and better how to prioritize and how to leave certain things for the next day.

You get to a point in relationships where you don't want to push anything, but things need to change, move on, or develop.

I walked away to get wisdom, but in the end I just walked home.

Where I grew up in Dallas, things might be a little more traditional. People have the same things in mind. They're supposed to grow up, go to college, get a job, get married, and have children, grandchildren. That's the world I grew up in.
