I thought depression was the part of my character that made me worthwhile. I thought so little of myself, felt that I had such scant offerings to give to the world, that the one thing that justified my existence at all was my agony. ↗

I've always loved music, very simply, as a vehicle to express myself and that hasn't changed. ↗
