Writes..."I Haven't, Won't, Can't Change What I Am"

"i know i keep saying this but it really does amaze me that my writing hasn't changed a whole lot in the ten plus years since i first felt like i needed to put words on paper. in reading my old composition books i've discovered that i write about the same things, the same way, now that i'm thirty that i did when i was twenty. i still write about heartache and wanting. i still write about passion and desire. i still write about discovery and i find that amazing. i always say people don't change, you are who you are. a tweak here or there but no major character overhauls. i know i was a kid that believed in love that became a man who made it his religion. despite the pitfalls and obstacles in the past, despite tripping and falling, bloody elbows and knees, i press on. i love...because i don't know how not to. it's what i know because it's who i was at 20, who i am at 30 and who i'll be when i die."
