My whole life has been filled with many different experiences and friendships, however, as I reflect on that group of people their are only a handful that I consider truly great friends. My 18 year old cousin, Destany, who I call Diggy happens to be the best in the batch and the person who I recognize as my best friend. Since we were little we always just got each other.

She quickly noticed and did everything possible to get me to open up and it worked. Soon enough we were both giving it our all and somehow crafted the song to be our own.
