what once cause catastrophe in my life has now become the catalyst for my direction.

I make art when I can't gather the words to say.

Be sure to bend but never break

I constantly find myself participating in life, but leaving at the end of the day - I need constant solitude to recharge my spirit, or this world will send me insane.

I lost all I had known and gained a life I was yet to know.

There are few moments in your life where it will all make sense, maybe not so logically but via intuition and inner knowing. You will go for it, against all odds, against all opinion. You won't know the outcome instantly but thats whats exciting, the outcome doesn't matter as much as the courage it took to risk it all for a dream no one else can see but you. That kind of integrity will take you places, the kind of inner strength that not only builds dreams but shatters nightmares.

It’s caring in the intimate ways without a single touch that will break down my walls, my heart carries medals of war, it doesn’t know how to love small. Come with integrity, guts, strength or not at all.

A man with integrity, with vision, with a sense of purpose and place in the world as exactly himself. That's the kind of man I'll settle for.

Not all roads are pretty and worth something. They are hard, overwhelming and shake you to your core, but in the tiny cracks of light that keep you moving forward holds tiny moments of hope. And in a dark place, hope is a grande’ thing.
