My father introduced me to many 50s 60s and 70s musicians. One of them is Ray Charles and he is one of my favorites from that time. There is one song that is kind of special to me "Sorry seems to be the hardest word". Not because it brings joy, but it brings sadness. The reason is that I haven't spoken to my father for 3 years after a fight we had. My father is one of the reasons I lost everything and almost became homeless. But I was a fighter and I didn't want to give up.
Today I have defeated my depression and I am living a free life with a lot of joy and happyness. I am still trying to earn enough to have my daily needs met, but I trust the universe that everything will be alright
