I was created for beauty. I've been protected by thorns. I'm the gift of a lover. I'm the beauty of life.

Ellie's head was pounding. Her body hurt from head to toe and her mind was throbbing terribly. Every part of her body ached and she felt like she had just gotten out of the boxing ring with some world champ UFC fighter and she had lost miserably. She was miserable and the world was still spinning in circles in her mind. Thinking back, she was determined to remember what had happened the night before but everything seemed so out of focus for her.

We've waited patiently for what is now before us. Now we hope for what is to come. Never content with what is here. Always wishing for what is next.

It's Spring but we can still talk about fall. The words to this song inspire me more than your thoughts. You're my autumn breeze.

The excitement of the night got the girls rushing to get ready! As they were getting ready they were excitedly telling each other all the things they hoped would come from tonight! Ellie knew if only she could keep up with everyone then she would finally fit in and have all the friends she had been hoping for.

Rain Rain ~ Go Away ~ Come back no other day

Have you ever just wondered what the next thing to say would be

Being in the path of such great power Looking up into the vast sky Knowing without that firey ball in the sky we would be doomed

It had been a few weeks of being back in the school routine. Ellie’s excitement for the new year was slowly diminishing as the piles of homework and writing assignments that needed to be completed began to pile up on her desk. Through all of the business of life, she had begun to hang out with her friends less and less. She had such high hopes for the year but those quickly began to fade. Every day seemed to be the same, she would wake up go to school, then come home just to have homework pile up that needed to be completed. She would sulk in her room at night, alone in silence. Her thoughts were all that seemed to keep her company these days. She would get the occasional text from a friend with the typical, “Hey! How are you” or “How was your day?” Yet none of these conversations went any deeper, none of them scratched the surface which made her wonder if anyone cared. She didn’t care anymore about the random “hi, (smiley emoji)” texts. What she needed was a phone call and a real conversation that went past just small talk. She wanted someone to know her for who she is and care about every part of her emotions and thoughts.

Your voice is like a melody Floating through the breeze The gentle chirp of the birds in the cool morning air.

The madness is over March has finally come to an end We struggle to fit in and can't understand the trend The hype and the fans

A song written and recorded by the Lifepoint Collective student team. I helped with the engineering and recording of the live takes of the song.

Once upon a time, how every perfect story has begun for centuries. This takes you back to the story's beginning, letting you get a glimpse into the past, to show you why things end up as they do. The story travels through many ups and downs but ends with the happy ever after everyone has come to expect. There is no surprise, each story always follows the same pattern, of ups and downs until finally arriving at the happily ever after. This story, however, isn’t once upon a time it is happening now, it could happen tomorrow or maybe it did already happen. It’s a part of your life and becomes a part of your story. There is no happy ever after, no perfect prince or princess, and no lovers holding hands riding off into the beautiful sunset, there never is. It’s just a fantasy created to tell a good story to keep the listener’s attention. This is real life, your life, a life where dreams don’t come true and darkness rises and takes even the best of us. Unfortunately, this story is more real than you are willing to admit.

This project holds deep personal significance for me, serving as a reflection of the emotional pain I felt during a past relationship. What sets it apart from many contemporary pop songs in the charts today is my commitment to self-awareness; rather than focusing on highlighting external issues, I took a deep dive into acknowledging my own shortcomings. Through this process of writing, I aimed to not only reveal my vulnerabilities but also create a path for personal growth, opting to understand and learn from my experiences instead of placing blame on external factors for the challenges I faced.
