I struggle over what to say here. 

I just lost my job and I'm trying to figure out what to do with the rest of my life, career wise and otherwise.

If I made enough money from CD sales I could just be a stay at home mom and maybe focus a little bit more on music as well, but I don't see that happening.  My voice is peculiar.. my guitar skills are mediocre, at best.   And my songs are too consistently sad for the radio.     This leaves me saying "Hmmmm.."

Still.. I like to share my songs and my writing.   I write songs and poetry all the time, constantly.  I have pretty bad insomnia, so I find myself writing into the early hours of the morning sometimes and i wonder what to do with it all.  Most of it, quite honestly, is too dark for sharing.

I feel the world deeply.  Sometimes it feels like it's too dark for me to exist here, but then I look at my daughter and I know that I must, for she did not ask to be here, and I will not leave her alone.   My parents never left me alone.   I love them for that, and for ten thousand other things.

If you want to buy my CD's, I'll sign them for you and I'll make a wish for your happiness.  I wouldn't even ask if I didn't really need the money right now.   Honestly, I do need the money. 

However, If you're broke like me and just want to listen for free, then I hope you enjoy them and I hope you can relate.  Music SHOULD be free.   My songs will always be free for the taking.  You only have to pay if you want to. 

All I really want from anyone is a little bit of relating.   Otherwise this world is very hard to swallow.

Wishing you well,


Serena
