It Amazes Me

so this all has gone so much better than i ever thought it would. back in 2007, which seems like ages ago, i put my first video on youtube. it was just out of boredom and i figured, “what the heck? i love to sing, why not see what other people think?” so me and my cousin put the first video on, and wow…
never in my life would i ever have thought that it would become what it has become.
never in my life would i ever have thought i would have almost a million views on one video and over three million views on all of the videos put together. 
and then the comments and messages i get from people all over the world. it is just so cool to me that people watch my videos and listen to my music all over the U.S. and in other countries. it really amazes me. like i’m just a random girl from wisconsin, i never dreamed that the videos i put up would reach so many people.
it feels so good to be able to share my music with all of you and for me to be able to inspire people. getting the messages saying, “you inspired me to start playing guitar”, puts a huge smile on my face every time i see it. i never imagined that i would inspire people with my music, songs that i’ve written and cover songs.
i write songs with a hope that they will relate to you guys, and for you all to know that you’re not alone. we all have hard times. life gets difficult. it’s just a fact of life, but it’s comforting to know that as you’re going through the hard times, there’s always someone out there that feels the exact same way and is going through the same thing. it’s not necessarily going to make it all better, but it lets you know that you are not alone. i hope that the songs i write do relate to you guys and the struggles, and joys, that you go through in life.
i am so passionate about music and i just hope that you all go out and find something that you’re passionate about. don’t let anyone stop you. it’s your life and you should live it while doing the things that you enjoy most.
you guys make my life.
