I stared writing lyrics when I went of to college through the inspiration of my Uncle Clay. My college sweetheart bought me a guitar for my 21st birthday. And my Grandma has led the way in teaching me how to play it.
If something bad happens to me, I write a song. It is my way of getting something positive from any experience. I can look back at anything and say “well, if that hadn’t of happened, I wouldn’t have this song.”
Maybe it is silly, but it’s what I do. And now I say I have had few ‘bad’ experiences in life. I recommend to anyone to do SOMETHING--whether songs, calling someone, talking to God…--when they hit a rough spot.
I have been declared disabled for the next year at least. There are a lot of negative aspects to that. But since I have the time, I have been taking guitar lessons and now I signed up for vocal classes. Because of the negative experience, I will improve my playing and singing. I may never be a rock star, but music is important to me in this way. It gives me something positive when finding something can be difficult.
