Hello,
I am new around here. I really enjoy listening to music and I attempt to play the guitar.

I fell upon hard times roughly ten years ago where I sadly got involved with the mental health teams which has resulted in ten years of being poked and prodded by them. Not a day goes by where I don't regret walking into my doctors surgery and asking for help - the beginning of the end in my humble opinion.

Nevertheless, my friends and family support me though my troubles. I really enjoy conversations about theology and forgiveness and well as conversations about music and especially guitars.
 
Hello! Thank you for your intro. I'm not into music myself but I'm sure there are others who are.
