my whole life i have paid for mistakes and i grew tired of that same ole same ole thing,,so one day i sat down and looked back on my path and found a reason to erase what i had created and painted in my life that i dreamed of and left the sad and bad out for another day ,,, in a lot of my writes you will see this process

true, i think of my writings as painting pictures with words, no matter what we do it is always up to us to paint that life we want to live and to ensure that we follow the right path in life to gain the most from what we do and see on our journey,, the paint brush i hold in my hand paints the life i left behind and the one ahead,so i can learn from the past to gain ground in my future
