Traumatic events, everyday occurrences, worldly discoveries, loss and gain, gives us a universal understanding of life; but it is compassion and empathy that gives us purpose. Not every person in this world understands the artist, or grasps our reasoning in pursuing what we do. My only answer is that there is a drive, a hope, and a want to explore these many emotions, that through living life we also have a need to share it. We've all been there, I just write it.
