kiduse2dream
I have always been a dreamer. I dreamed I would get to star in a sitcom. I dreamed I'd be in a movie. I dreamed I could play stadiums to a sell out crowd. I tried to take opportunities but they were always just out of reach. What I have left is to write about what never was.

What's the secret? in The Kid Used To Dream
It’s amazing to me that we are this far into time and we’ve still not figured out other humans. Why do people go out of their way to be mean? Why is bitterness so rampant everywhere? I’m convinc...
