Looking back to my youth, I wonder what would be different if I had changed a few things.

I believe I was too caught up thinking about the wrong things, at the fault of my ignorance and lack of life experience.

Life-altering occurrences happen to us in two ways — either in the beginning or later part of our lives.

Mine happened during the latter part.

Although our destiny still follows us, no matter our decisions, it all leads towards the same place.

But, unfortunately, humans can sometimes make it harder on ourselves by not listening — not paying attention to what’s in front of us.

Although it wasn’t the worst thing I could do, I suffered from weight gain for several years after my shows.
