Love Can Awaken So Many Things In Us

First of all a very BIG thank you to everybody who has clicked on and read my work offered words of encouragement, and to whichever lovely persons decision it was to make my latest offering a top story!

I often feel like a fraud and feel like I'm not good enough. I'd love to say that the idea of not being good enough is just related to my writing, but the feeling follows me throughout my everyday life too, so as you can imagine finally getting Top Story meant the world to me! I felt I had finally arrived!

Knowing that my work is at the top of this website brings me so much joy!

Even though Vocal has always paid me very kindly over the three years I've been here it has always been about the genuine connections with other writers on this platform that mean the most to me. The Vocal community have always made feeling alone a distant memory for me.

Why am I here?

The answer quite simply is I fell in love truly and honestly. I have been a musician for as long as I can remember. I wrote my first song when I was six on a plastic toy guitar, played in bands the lot! The years rolled on I had a bit of a lull in my life and my songwriting. Fast-forward to 2018 she walked in like a bull in a china shop, she makes me better makes me want to be better she supports me in all that I do without question, plus she is so beautiful, intelligent, and kind and compassionate. I never knew love before her. The more time we spent together I found these words just started to pour out of me. I started to play and sing again. Everything you read here are actually lyrics to the songs I have written about her. When you fall in love properly its easy for words to leave the pen and come to life on the page. My words would not exist without her. The saddest part is she does not believe in her own magic. I am guilty of this myself as you know, but as long as I have breath in my lungs and a pen in my hand I will always try and help her find her magic, just as she helped me to find mine.

Thank you to everyone who's ever read, commented on, tipped, and subscribed to my work

Not only are you helping me to realise that I do deserve to be here, and I can stand with the Vocal elite, but you are also helping my beautiful muse find her magic, and that means more to me than anything.

Hopefully I have painted a beautiful picture of her with my words, and just how amazing she is has really gotten across to you all. To those of you who have said my work has gotten you through a hard day or a hard week I am humbled. I guess it really is true what they say about the pen being mightier than the sword.

I had the idea of putting my lyrics here on Vocal over lock down mainly, because it was a real test to me not being able to see her after spending a lot of time together previously (another tip to know you really love someone is you never get tired of being in their company). My writings were my way of letting her know I was still thinking of her through a very scary and uncertain time, they still are and they always will be.

Amazing people need to know just how amazing they are!
