As we get older, we learn new things and meet new people. We find things in ourselves and things in others. Whatever these little pieces of us are, we discover them and accept them, we challenge them and change them. By the end of your life's current chapter, where are things at, and how do they sit?
"Sometimes questions are more satisfying than answers. What, in fact, does this musical piece mean?
That, might just be a little piece of me."
