I grew up in small town, literally so small it only to me 10 minutes to walk from the center to the town limits, the schools there i wouldn't say we're the best, and I wouldn't say it's was a good education. I was relentlessly bullied because of my disability, name calling,  physically assaulted, I had a very closed circle of friends and still do, whenever the days seem like it wasn't going to get any better , I'd either put on my headphones and crank up either, metallica,  iron maiden, slipknot,  five finger death punch, and just escape into a world of music where all my worries, bad thoughts etc. Would just go away and also grab my guitar play whatever I was feeling, music is still my escape to this very day without it and the support my family and friends I might not have made it to where I am today.Keep jamming on every one. Whenever you feel like life is pulling you back remember an arrow on a bow needs to be pulled back before it shoots forward.
