I create stories, art, and music as a form of therapy to cope with trauma and a life long cancer battle. Art's my peace in a life hurdles

I love creating stories with my art and music. I put it all together to create a rock opera.
Where do you find inspiration?I am a big cinefile and I have been developing my music since I was 5 years old. I come from a long line of musicians. And I love creating art that tells the story of not just my trauma. Not just my story,but other people's stories that can relate to what I'm doing. I find inspiration in the ability to help others who swim in my sea, through the stories, music I write, and the art I create
What would you do with $25,000?I of course would want to keep some of the money to help myself get out of debt and provide a better life for me and my son but I would love to take a large portion of it and donate it to sober houses and addiction prevention programs.
