As I continue to work on my multimedia project (The Ten Years of Tragedy) : This Album Portion of it started off with my 200th published work - Making Angels Cry, and I tried to go out of my way to make it as good as possible, as opposed to tell a story. I, personally, feel I succeeded. I consider it to be an achievement for 'The Anchorwind Sound' whatever that means. Tracks 2-4 of Ten Years of Tragedy, although I didn't realize it at the time was me telling a story - I was falling deeper into the despair I am currently in.

By Track 5 I was aware of where I was at in life and where I wanted to go with the album's narrative. Forgiveness (5) , Soul Searching (6) , Define Your Success (7) , The Battle For Control (8) , Yearning Yet Burdened (9) - and for the last couple I even wrote messages for some, just in case others were struggling like me. I'm an old combat veteran, I've been at this for a while whereas others just may be beginning their journey and a random internet message might be a spark that really helps.

Now to this : #10 - the conclusion. It's Never Too Late To Love Yourself. I know what I want to say but not how to say it, and I think back to 'A City Not Forsaken (Pt. 1)' and the synth line that makes me smile, the hope upon the horizon of it. That even after whatever war we have survived, there is a way to rebuild to a better tomorrow. It may not be easy, but many things in life worth doing aren't.
