Bio
I am a musician and own a small indie label. Writing is the best way for me to express myself. I struggle to explain how I feel in person but when I write I find it easier to figure out what is happening inside my head.

The Quiet Kid
There is always that one kid in class. The one who never speaks. Sitting alone in the back of the classroom just trying not to be noticed or seen. It always seems to work, they just fade into the shadows disappearing just to be lost in the world without any notice. Deep down they want to be known. Deep down they want to be heard but this lingering fear deep in their mind whispers that if they are seen they will be hurt or made fun of. So they just sit their, remain quiet, and keep to themselves. They live in a quiet place amongst all the noise of the world telling them things to ruin their self esteem. They fear the unknown and everything that can't be controled. Their life is in chaos because they are stuck in their head.

Why You Should Live Stream
So you are a content creator and want to grow your fan base and reach more people but do not know where to start. Connecting with people and building relationships is the most important part of influencing others and sharing your creations with strangers. This sounds way easier than it may be though, so don't worry if it takes some time to build a following. If you want to have strangers come back to you and view more of your content you are going to need to connect with them and add value to their life. Unfortunately, we live in a world where people are selfish and don't want to help others. Knowing this we can build a strategy around helping people and make them feel like it is all about them.

Compromise
So we live in a politically saturated country that has become very toxic. It's either you agree with me or we are enemies. We have slowly become less and less willing to see anything from anyone else's perspective. The society we have created has become a toxic disease that is slowly devouring each and every one of us. It has divided families and friends? Created rifts in what once was a solid relationship. What will it take to survive this mess and come out on top? Is there even anything any of us can do? Where are we even going to start if there is something we can do.

Sessions Part 1: Wes
We have all gone through tough situations in life but what defines us is how we get through them not that we went through them. We are not our issues and do not need to be defined by them. However, our issues do make us into the people we are today and how we respond to them can have a major impact on our lives, whether for good or for bad. You can probably relate to this project because we all go through difficult situations in life. If not please share your secret with us on how you have a perfectly happy life. Whether with friends, family, mental health, or any other challenges that may arise we all have struggles we deal with in our lives.

The Rescue
This is part 2 of the story if you haven't read part 1 check it out here. It was a normal day for Mike. Nothing stood out as exceptional except for his imagination as to what was going to happen this weekend. He and his wife had this amazing trip planned to this cute little cabin in the middle of the woods. They were planning to leave once she finished her final shift of the week at the library. They lived in a small town and she was the only person who was on staff at their local library so she couldn't get off work early but this weekend the library was going to be closed so they could go on a much-needed vacation. It was going to be a much-needed getaway for the couple to connect again and hopefully spark the love that they once had for each other. It had been a trying couple of months and Mike wanted to spend more time with his wife. He was counting the minutes until Susan would walk through their front door and their weekend together could finally begin. The hands of the clock seemed to move extra slow today as they did anytime something fun and exciting was approaching.

The Librarians Nightmare
It was a normal Friday night for Susan. She worked at the local library and she was just finishing up prepping the library to close for the weekend. She had placed the last book back into its place on the shelf and was finishing her routine cleaning off the shelves of any dust and trash that was left behind by those sloppy school-age kids that came in after school to finish any homework before the weekend fun they were all about to have. Everything was quiet and seemed so peaceful maybe even a little too peaceful. Something seemed a bit unsettling to Susan and she had this odd feeling in the pit of her stomach that she was being watched. She tried to ignore it and continued to go about her business. She was very excited to leave because once she was finished here she had an exciting weekend planned with her husband that she was looking forward to. Susan and her husband had a weekend trip out to a cabin planned and it was going to be one fun, romantic getaway. A much-needed break from the everyday hustle they both were living. A librarian job may seem so easy but it was a constant grid because it was a small library in a small town and there was no money to hire more help. She had to do all of the cleanings, checking books in and out, maintenance, and every other job that must happen to keep a library open every day.

The Space Pebble Purchase
It's not every day you get the opportunity to buy something so unique and rare you didn't even know it existed. This is exactly what happened one summer day and the whole reason for me to tell you this story. This story is about a guy named Jimmy. It was an ordinary Friday afternoon for Jimmy and he was casually wandering around his local pawn shop seeing if there were any cool deals. He was a sucker for old unique collectible items and spent a few hours every week going through pawnshops to see if there was anything cool he could snag. This week seemed like it was going to be a disappointment, nothing seemed to stand out to Jimmy and it looked like he was going to have to go home empty-handed. Just as he was about to leave the final store he planned on visiting that day something odd caught his eye.

Back to 2020
The year is 2050 and Mike was once again tinkering with his new time thruster. There was always something going wrong it seemed and no matter how much he studied and worked on his time travel techniques he could never seem to get it right. He had dedicated the last 10 years of his life to studying space and time to finally be the first person to make it successfully to the past. There had been many attempts and many theories were made about how time travel would affect life here on earth.

Love
Some people love Valentine's day and have spectacular acts of love planned out for months in advance and they count the days until they can go crazy for their loved ones. Yet there are others that dread the day and cannot wait until the celebrations of love are over. Why is it that people have such a different reaction to this day? Why are some people so filled with a passion that they must fulfill and want to express themselves to others while some people just want to get through the day without being noticed? Neither person is better than the other and we all see life through a different pair of eyes. Try to put yourself into the other person's shoes before you judge them on how they see this holiday. There are scars that begin to hurt when people see others continually falling in love with another human. They wish that it could be them falling in love but they once again spend a valentines day alone. We are all unique and in a special place in our own life. I think we all view Valentine's day in the wrong way. It has become a commercial holiday of Love. But do we really celebrate true love or just are fantasies of what we really want love to be.

Snow Day
I woke up this morning to a winter wonderland outside. These frigid temperatures and the snow-covered ground have me reminiscing about my childhood and the fun we would have any time it snowed. I remember being so excited when there was even a chance of snow, especially on a weekday. If we even had a slight chance to get a snow day that would make little me's whole week much more exciting! Sometimes I wish I could return to a time when everything was much more simple. Where the biggest worries were so minuscule and unimportant. A time where I didn't have to worry about if my choice would screw up the whole rest of my life. Looking at the bigger picture of life, it does not matter who had a crush on who back in middle school. Looking back now, it does not even matter who the smartest kid in class was or if you always had your homework in on time. Yes, those things are important and if you are still in school try to do your work on time and do your best in your classes but remember the world won't end if you slip up once or twice.
