Hi everyone
I’m Gavin, I’m 38 years old from South Wales. I was born with cerebral palsy and I also have a speech impediment. I have just posted my new blog about how lock down has helped me to find my confidence again! Please feel free to have a read and if you have any questions please just ask away 😊

Welcome to the community and thank you for joining us. Thank you for sharing your blog with us, it was really interesting to read and I am pleased to hear that lockdown has provided you with the opportunity to reflect on things. It is so good that you are turning what has been a really difficult time for everyone into a positive for yourself. I read that you're a songwriter, I imagine that is really interesting and helps you to express yourself. Are you into music in general? If so, what music do you like? I have CP as well and this affects my speech, I can appreciate what you are saying about it been frustrating at times. I've always been encouraged to voice my points of view and this is something I am grateful to my family for encouraging. I still have to work really hard and concentrate whenever I am speaking and though at times this can be really tiring, it is so worth it. Keep going! Thank you.
As with my songwriting, I like ANY music, so I can put my hand to writing most genres! I’m signed to a publisher, and he pitches every song that I co-write to singers and record labels all over, including a few well known singers too, so maybe one day you’ll hear one of my songs in the Official Charts, keep your fingers crossed! Take a look at my songwriting page facebook.com/gavinlyrics to keep up to date with all the latest!
Make sure you keep your spirits up during this lock down! Things will get better soon!
cheers
Gavin

I’m very well thank you for asking? How about yourself? 😊
How are you? I checked out a few lyrics on your Facebook page but I don't do social media so it was restricted. They look good, thank you for sharing. I enjoy writing lyrics and poems (though not as good as yours) as it helps me with my emotions. Please may I ask why you started writing lyrics? Thank you.
