Childhood...

What can I say about my childhood to best express myself? It was both "magical and emotional." At a young age I discovered my love for music which shaped my life to become a more confident and sensitive person. One of my first memories was sitting at the organ in my Nana's basement during a holiday gathering. I began to sing and play the instrument as if I knew what I was doing. As I grew older I was not afforded the same luxeries as others my age. From toys to clothes to a disruptive home life it was just "hard". However I remember much love and support from my parents instilling upon me that I could become great someday. It was the music that brought my emotions to the surface to save me from the chaos around my life. Although I did not know it at the time that I was giving a beautiful gift, I clung to how music made me feel about myself and the world around me.
