Christian songwriter... now there's a concept that's virtually non-existent around these parts... Portugal.
What's that supposed to be like? writing songs to sing at church? blahhhh

Isn't that what happens for real?

Well... either put on a show, or take the same road your siblings took.
She's still your mother, so try to be nice about it.... even if she's not.

Girlfriend issues.... I'm out!

Depressed? Have you talked to a doctor about that?
Or are you just "depressed", under the weather, feeling blue?

Don't think about it... enjoy life, it's very very very very likely the only one you've got.
Why squander it on some fairy tale you were once sold?
