For as long as I can remember I've had two major desires in my heart. The first was to find forever love. I had thrown my heart into relationships searching for that love but ended up hurt, disillusioned and disappointed. The second was to become a musician. A musician that impacted people in the way that I had been impacted by music. But I never really believed in myself enough to pursue it. When I was a teenager, I started getting high with friends for 'fun' at first but then I started using it as a major crutch to numb the hurts and disappointments that I began to accumulate in my life. I started having severe panic attacks. I couldn't work, eat or sleep. I felt like I was going crazy. Right in the middle of this time, my cousin Rocky came to my mind. I knew he had gone through similar things & he seemed to have turned his life around.
