My name is Gavin Heaton, and I'm a simple 17 year old teen who has a pretty extensive family, now that I think about it. I have a profound love and passion towards Celtic culture. Additionally, I have ADD and Tourette's, please notice how I did not say "suffer" as they are really not that big of a deal, not for me anyways. I also have a love towards Mythology of any sort. My favorite musical instrument is the one I play, the ocarina (yes it is a real instrument).
Hope
Hope can have many faces—
take many forms;
each tends to change to fit an acquired situation.
This one, is but a personal favorite.
Hope is the constant companion,
the one friend; truly meant to last forever.
It's always there, picking you up once you've fallen.
Always guarding your mind from the dangers of despair.
So, even when you have become lost in sadness,
do not worry, or lose your hope.
Your true friends forever shall be there—
and they will guide you.
