The goal for me has always been to learn how to express myself in radio and to have fun doing it and work with whatever contingencies arise.
Yeah. I'm amateurish. I can play enough to write a song, or strum on a little guitar to write out a song. But, I don't play well at all. I wouldn't even attempt for a second to play in public.
But at this phase of my life, I want to write and not have to think about whether a song is going to be a hit. I want to explore the music that inspires me, and I don't want to ape myself.
I borrowed a guitar at age 16 and taught myself to play because I wanted to write songs.

I will never be able to fix myself enough to the point I like myself, so I just jumped to the point where I said, 'I like myself as I am.'
I've got to where I've always wanted to be. I just feel more myself, and I've learned not to care what other people think. It's happened slowly, very slowly. But I did it.
I wanted to be able to play guitar. I wanted to be able to make music hurt.
