My story has always been about finding emotions, like really strong ones. Sometimes about love... Well I started playing guitar about 2 years ago because I had a cocktail of feelings I had no idea how to externalize so I played and in a way I was getting them off my chest, 6 months later or so I met someone, my first girlfriend and she was the first person to ever hear me play and she would just sit there and listen, I always thought I was boring her but now I think she felt the same I felt when I played. A year ago i was diagnosed with cancer, not terminal but still cancer. It was a lot, school, my girlfriend and the problems of her own that she had. We broke up... not because we did not love each other anymore but because with all the things that were going on holding on to one another was going to hurt us more and more. i graduated time later and took a year off, i started playing again this time alone but with a lot more emotions and a bit thankful to be alive. Now i am writing this on a sunday night at my college's library, 2,112 or so miles from my home. and during my story i have found out that we can not control what happens to us at times but we can control what we do and what we feel with it.
