So here’s how I pretty much view my existence on this earth: I don’t want to live anymore, [extremely explicit content withheld for the protection of readers].
I had a fire in my soul when I first started college and now it’s completely gone. My dream is dead and there’s nooooo bringing it back to life. The one person in my life who I considered to be a strong believer in my future success, is now not affordable anymore……I’m spiritually, emotionally, physically, and psychologically drained. I want to get out this body, I know I’m ready to leave this earth; but for the viewers who will be reading this: I wanted to become a music producer/songwriter/composer for as looooooong as I could remember. I fantasize about it all the time and I try to write my own music when an idea comes to mind……..I’m just done living, so I’m going to screw the back story.
