    Really don’t stress “getting good” at making music because the journey there is the ocean of creativity. 20 years from now, you’ll cruise to this tune and realize how perfect it was all this time. The lost sessions are the most charming. Thanks for sharing your heart, history, and creativity with us. Very inspirational. We need more skateboarders to promote mental/physical wellness.

I really wish to channel all my energy into this. But i love skateboarding so much. I felt like I needed a break and i stopped a couple weeks ago and I really miss it. Don't know. Maybe I could do both passions and make it work. Or maybe I cant. One always take away from the other.
