5 Lessons I Wish I Knew in My 20s
Life-changing advice I learned the hard way — that you can learn now. When I look back at my 20s, I feel a mix of emotions. There was excitement, confusion, ambition — and a lot of mistakes. It’s a time when we try to figure out who we are, what we want, and where we’re going. But truthfully, I wish someone had told me a few simple things back then.

Left on the Shelf - A Song
This is a poem I've been tweaking and working on every now and then... It never felt just right, but it was also one of those that I could never quite bring myself to chunk completely. I think because it is so close to my heart... a stage of healing. It is perhaps one of the most personal poems I've ever written, and while I'm still tweaking the execution of the music, I think it was perhaps destined to be a song.

Anger Revisited
I decided to take the title of a poem from my adolescent days for a lyrical rewrite... These two words served as a reminder of how I dealt with undesirable situations as a teenager. Regardless of all the help, advice and direction I received, I still had to learn for myself what life meant to me...

Allowed to Be. Top Story - April 2025. Content Warning.
I wrote this while feeling frustration and anger over the current state of society. I have never understood the determination of some to try to force their beliefs and opinions on others, while still claiming they support freedom and equality. I have studied several religions through my life before finding that Wicca vibes best with my personal opinions and views. Empathy has always been a very strong aspect of my inner self and something I was grateful to been so connected with.

Until I Had None Left To Give. Top Story - April 2025.
So, I already had an entry for this challenge, and would have loved to have done something using my voice, etc., but I do not really have the resources or the budget for that. My first entry was solely the lyrics and structure, with lots of information about how I would have composed it if I had the time, resources, and skills.

Cheers to the Evanai!
[Above you will find my thoroughly inadequate rendition of this song. Below you will see my shorthand system of notation for melodies & chords. Numbers reference the steps of the diatonic major scale where the Roman numeral I is for the root & alterations are signified by ɓ or #. Eighth note durations are indicated by ' with sixteenth durations indicated by x & sustained notes by a long dash. Measures are separated by |. Anything in italics that is not a part of the actual song are stage directions or explanatory notes. I hope you enjoy.]
