I love music so much. It’s accurate to say that music saved my life in North Florida when I was a beaten-on reject misfit. I’ll forever be grateful to Tori, to Hope, to the Smashing Pumpkins, to Tanya and all the other artists who put part of themselves out into the world to let me know there was something better out there waiting for me.

And there was. I am living it. Not sure I would’ve made it without their signs and omens. In fact, I’m quite certain I wouldn’t have.
