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.

Turns Out - I CAN Take A Hint in The Kid Used To Dream

Which way is up? in The Kid Used To Dream
Lately, I have been extremely busy and at the same time accomplishing absolutely nothing. The lifestyle change with my eating has me down 18 lbs. Management is almost happy. They have booked a...
What Was She Thinking? in The Kid Used To Dream
Took an out of town road trip. Drove to my favorite place and decided to hang out a few days. I went to see the F1 movie in IMAX - well worth it. I was waiting for the movie and was sitting in...

Learned a New Word in The Kid Used To Dream

You See What I Want You To See in The Kid Used To Dream
Lately, I’ve been trying to see myself how others see me. I’m very one tracked. I can’t juggle relationships or friendships outside of social media apparently. I’ll mostly always be there for an...

What do I do Now? in The Kid Used To Dream
Recently, I stumbled upon a revelation that growing up I would be rewarded for invisibility. The more I stayed out of the way, the more I was rewarded. It makes so much sense now. Even now, as a...
The Stupidity of Me in The Kid Used To Dream
I spent the last few days withholding my humorous (to only me) sarcasm and biting my tongue to keep from saying something she doesn’t like. I did this for, maybe a moment we don’t normally get. ...
Observation in The Kid Used To Dream
The way my brain works is a mystery sometimes. The thoughts that run through it, that I keep to myself, make me wonder. When I was a kid I had a very vivid imagination. I believed that we were b...

Hurry up and Weight in The Kid Used To Dream
A lot of what I do depends on image whether I want to admit it or not. I took control of it 7 years ago and almost let it get away from me again. I keep having to remind myself that I am definit...
On the road again in The Kid Used To Dream
Played a show and had a guy walk up after and asked if he could pray for me but before he did shared something with me. He looked me into the eye and said - there’s a song you are going to write...
I'm Addicted To Connection in The Kid Used To Dream
I’ll be the first to admit that I’m a recovering introvert, but I’m not fully recovered. There are parts of me that the introvert still exists. I’ve been told that’s the part that makes me the f...
Lyric Magazines in The Kid Used To Dream
Does anyone remember these? When I was a kid one of my hobbies was hitting the magazine aisle of the store while my mom shopped for groceries. I would go through Mad, Hits, Guns, and anything el...
The Memory is Still Embarrassing in The Kid Used To Dream
When I was a teenager I found it way too easy to believe I loved any girl that looked at me and caused that weird feeling in the pit of your stomach. I had no proper role model to teach me other...
My Diet has been suffering in The Kid Used To Dream
Lately, for whatever reason, my diet has taken a backseat to emotional eating. I feel myself slipping. I’ve been doing so well over the last 6 years and lately I have been slacking. I have a f...
Present, In the Moment in The Kid Used To Dream
I played a show tonight that took me 2 hours from home. It was a restaurant venue. They told me after that there was 15 people there. Before the show, I was eating a ton of humble pie. The last ...
Something is on the Horizon in The Kid Used To Dream
