This is supposed to be a page all about me, what I can do, what I can't do and the things I'd like to be able to do but fail miserably at. But, as usual I'm struggling to come up with words to describe myself. I don't think I'm very successful at telling you (the internet) who I am, in order for people to get to know me we need to spend quality time together. So instead I'm going to tell you about all the things I love, because the things I love shape the person that I am and ultimately the things I love are me. So here I am, the things I love. I love family. Family are the people that I will love no matter what they do. The people that love me no matter what I do and that's seriously one of the greatest gifts a person could ever receive. Family isn't just the people you live with either. Like I said, family are the people that I will love no matter what and those are sometimes people who live very far away from me. Maybe even across a big ol' ocean but that doesn't stop me from loving them, and it doesn't stop them being family. I love you family. I love music. Without music I would be emotionally flat and deadlining. Music is by far my favourite divine creation. Music is what gives me motivation to get out of bed in the morning. Not because it's number one in my life but because I know God has given me a gift with purpose and so I need to go out and spread the love with it. Mainly my field is classical music. It just touches me in a way no other genre of music has been able to achieve quite yet. I love that there is so much music in the world. I love that we all have different tastes in music too, how boring would it be if we all enjoyed listening to the same one piece of music over and over again?! Music is culture, culture is music. I can't wait to hear the stories around the world eagerly awaiting to be written in song and music. I love me. It's taken me an awfully long time to get to this point but I've made it. You know what, I actually like me. I am me and nobody else can be me. I've come to the conclusion that I'm stuck with me for the rest of my life and I should probably get used to the fact that I kinda need to get along with myself. Individuality is our DNA and I am starting to see that this is really important! I can be the person that God made me to be. I am the person God designed me to be.
