In 2017, I started songwriting. In 2015 and 2016, I would write poetry and journal about my daily life. In 2017, the first song I wrote was waves. In 2017, I was writing poetry about the beach and then started thinking about the first boyfriend I had ever dated. I decided to combined my idea of the beach trip I went on with him and reference the beach by calling the song waves. The journal in this picture is the first journal I started songwriting in about my life.
