I’m sure most of you, at least the ones that I talk to, think of me as a pretty honest and open person. And you guys appreciate that about me. But if you didn’t know, I’m not open about everything. I don’t let everyone know everything. I don’t tell you guys about all of my struggles, or when I’m depressed. Yeah, you guys know sometimes, but not all the time, and you don’t always know why. But anyway, I digress.

The point I wanted to make was, when I see someone else who plays guitar or sings, I have a reflex that occurs, and I start to feel like I’m in a competition. Every time I find somebody who plays or sings, I always am quick to check out their covers or their originals, and I become almost hyper critical of them, or myself. I start to compare myself to them. I hate it, but it’s something I do, and I haven’t really told anybody about it. So if you are a musician, I apologize. My first impression of you automatically puts me in a competitive mood. I feel like I have to either play better than you, or I am nothing. I know that it’s not true, but it’s just something I’ve noticed quite a bit over the past year or so. 

So again, if you are a musician, I apologize if I ever am a little quiet or distant to you. Just call me out on it.

just in the little time I’ve known you and gotten to talk to you, I think you’re just freakin awesome. I think you’re pretty funny, and I’m sure if you lived closer, we’d be like bff’s. haha. But for real though, I appreciate you man. I’m glad that I’ve had the time to get to know you, and I hope it continues!

ps. Clever number

:) You make me smile. You have such a open and loving heart. Every time you have words of encouragement for other people, I am just moved. I’m glad to know someone like you. There is one thing that makes me a little sad though. We don’t really talk! I think that needs to change. I am glad when we do get to talk though, even if it’s just a little bit. Keep being you. You are so caring, and I can totally see you doing wondrous things in the near future.
