The Ex-Files ~ Ghost in the Machine
The music survived the marriage. The person to share it with didn't.
The Body of Evidence

Never Give Up, Never Surrender
What’s the best advice you’d give to someone younger than you? I’d tell someone younger than me to never give up. Life and people will throw every obstacle in your way. Never surrender. Don’t compromise on your goals. If you want something, it’s up to you to figure out how to get it. There will be some who can help along the way, but you’ve got to carry the load. I wish someone had given me that advice when I was younger and made me believe it.
