I finally got the van and am adjusting to life in it. I decided to live in it because I’ll be on the road playing music, and I need to learn how to adapt. It’s been challenging, but along with sobriety, this is the most freedom I’ve ever experienced.

I’ve decided to start a slow reconstruction of this site to focus more on music, guitar, and how it fits into everyday life—both yours and mine—rather than just my story of survival.

To help fund these adventures in music, I’ll soon be selling Strum Life stickers. The money will go toward maintenance and gas for the trips ahead.

A huge challenge right now is figuring out where I fit into social media. Persistence is key—and that’s something I’m working on. I’ve decided to post across several platforms and see what’s most effective.

Thank you so much for visiting and for your support.

More soon.

Hi Blog,
I haven’t forgotten about you. Honestly, it’s been getting under my skin that we don’t talk like we used to. Come to think of it, I don’t talk to a lot of people like I used to.

Life’s been heavy — but in a good way. Jesus has brought me through some dark times, and lately I’ve been thinking a lot about how to show my love for Him and His Father. That’s been the center of everything.

I’ve been playing a lot of guitar, recording more than usual, trying to capture every spark while I can. Content is the new currency, and I’m stacking up what I’ve got — not out of fear, but out of faith that it’s all building toward something real.

I’m heading back to work at the airport soon. I kind of missed it, even while I was taking care of things. It feels like another piece of life is falling back into place.

Anyhow, things are looking up.
What have you been up to?
Yeah, you — I’m still listening.
