What do I say? I haven't been on this site for a while......
Maybe I should explain why. I love this site, it comforted me over my grieving for my grandmothers death way back many years ago when I was 13, I'm now 20...but didn't really feel the effects till I was about 15 and my life went into a free-for-all of excess and attempted suicide.
Then, after sorting my life out, I joined the military.....became different and lost some loyal and beautiful friends because they couldn't understand the 'new' me....neither could I. Then, as one would say 'I walked through the shadow of the valley of death' a few times over the past year and a half and I got a grip. I became who I am now, a more mature/grown up all round london wide boy, well sort of!
But because of my experiences and the fact I was starting to take off in my songwriting again, I got myself a beautiful electric guitar and started playing on one again....recording songs I'd written on here and on paper. It all went well but I hit a personal wall of debilitating lack of confidence and I stopped writing songs, I stopped playing my guitar, I stopped everything in my world. I was writing songs at the time to post on here and so after a good amount of months away from this place, I've finally picked my confidence up this week....I can finally look at myself in the mirror and smile, I can finally be proud of me and who I am and I can tell people 'I love you' without fearing the cold shoulder thing I had developed a fear of since my grandmother had died that long ago.
'You're a broken person. Here, hold my hand. I love you.'
