The road of life is rocky: Lack of self-confidence, frustration, doubt, fear, loneliness, poverty, confusion..., I never let go of my songwriting and I never gave up on my dreams.

I feel betrayed and sad. It feels like I have been used as a tool. Sometimes I need to recharge the batteries and focus on the positive things in life.
