Ever since I was 3 years old, it was always a struggle to keep my hands off of pencils and paper. I would write stories, draw pictures, and always sing the songs I wrote. Growing up, writing music was always an escape for me; especially a cure for the pain of loneliness. I have been battling a nerve-racking yet congenital condition (asperger's syndrome) for as long as I can remember. I hope you read these short works and feel the passion I have towards this seemingly normal hobby. It's my heart on paper; my blood the ink, my veins, the lines that stretch across the blank sheet. That's just how my words run...from the heart.
