You never really shake depression and that's a tough road you have to deal with.
I don't know any musician, successful or otherwise, that got in it to make money. Or writer, for that matter. You get into it because you love it.
I was a happy kid up until I hit the teen years.
Karma is not just about the troubles, but also about surmounting them.
I was more than just a moody artist.
I'm thankful for serendipitous moments in my life, where things could've gone the other way.
