Fearless.

timirose:

When it comes to relationships, people are always so scared of the what-if’s that they forget what is. They spend so much time thinking, “What if I get hurt?” and “What if it doesn’t work out?” that they stop thinking about things that are already real. They forget the feeling they get when the person they love walks into the room and the excitement that rushes through them when the phone rings cause it might be the person they are hoping to hear from. Never let the fear of what-if stop you from letting yourself take a chance on love… because what if this is the person you’re destined to spend the rest of your life with? You’ve got to man up and know all the hard work is worth it.

Timi knows best.

“ There comes a point in your life when you realize: Who matters, Who never did, Who won’t anymore… & who always will. So, don’t worry about people from your past, there’s a reason why they didn’t make it to your future. (via timirose)

hey ryan! who’s your favorite band/artist at the moment?

Hm, the artist that I can’t stop listening to lately is My American Heart. After watching their “Pain” video live on youtube, I just get really amp’d when I hear them.

where do you get the inspiration for your songs?

It depends really. For me it comes from extreme emotions (okay not that extreme, but enough to make me want to write about it) like pain, happiness, love, anger. All the MSG.

Are all of your originals based on your life experiences?

Yup, they all are. I couldn’t write about something that hasn’t happened to me. It would feel fake and unrealistic.

What’s your favorite place to shop at ?

Hm, I don’t really have a favorite place to shop at or a style. I just wear whatever I think is cool lol. I suck. But I have been shopping at

lately.

I ask everyone this, I just find all the different views and opinions interesting, so sorry if it’s random, lol.

Which would you be least likely to forgive, being cheated on by your significant other falling in love with somebody new, or being cheated on by your significant other having mindless, emotionless sex with multiple people? And what’s your reasoning behind your answer?

Even though I would forgive neither, the sex I would least forgive. I guess because I believe in what they said in Hitch, “Anyone can sweep a girl off her feet, you just need the right broom.” And if I’m slacking then it’s understood. But going around just having sex, well that’s just nasty haha.

What’s your reaction to a bunch of girls thinking you’re so guapo? How does your girl friend respond to it?

Haha.. well it’s all very flattering and sometimes I don’t know how to respond to it! So I just say thank you lol. My girlfriend sometimes pokes jokes about it but I’m assuming she coo widdit haha

First of all, i just wanna say thanks to you because your music changed my life. Seriously, its true. Anyways, WASSSSUUUP with that CD (= ?!

First, I would like to thank you for listening to my music! And I can’t believe that it’s changed your life! I am honored =). Ugh yeah the cd..LOL well I’ve been writing and liking the way they are all sounding, plus I’m taking a music audio recording class so we should be seeing something soon! I don’t wanna say when because then..it’ll never happen lol.

Marry me? <3

Oh, and when did you start singing/playing the guitar? :)

Thank you! (haha..) and I started back in freshman year high school. But i’d pick it up every now and then. And I learned what I could online. I wish I played more often so I can play like Sir Bondoc.

Where is the one place you would love to travel to?

Japan is a must before I die. I really wanna travel and hopefully as I’ve chosen a career in music, I will have the opportunity to visit many places in my lifetime. Hopefully. I haven’t traveled much/at all, so hopefully I will!

What drives your motivation to do whatever you choose to do in life?

The image of me not being happy for the rest of my life. I want to be happy doing what I wanna do for..ever lol, and I just wanna be.. I just wanna be successful (Holla at me Drake!) To live comfortably and for my family to live comfortably. I just wanna be happy and not miserable being a nurse (no offense to you nurses, it’s just not for me ;)

Well that was fun please send more questions you have for me here!

And my question for ya’ll is: What do you do when you’re angry?

Til next time!

Magnetic Hearts (feat. AJ Rafael) download link & lyrics

“Magnetic Hearts w/ AJ Rafael”

These miles have taken me away from your light
The clock is ticking close to midnight
And I still can’t find my way back home

This ship I’ve been sailing on
Has took the wrong turn I can’t see the sun
Waters overflowing I can’t take all this drowning
I just wanna find my way back home

I know you’ll be with me in my dreams
But I gotta wake up to reality
Let me know that your feeling it too
This unspoken connection between me and you

From coast to coast, from sky to sky, from sea to sea, from star to star
Don’t care how far but here we are brought back together by our magnetic hearts

My voice can’t travel the space between you and i
Just hear my cry
You just gotta know that i’ve got to see your smile
Cause this is our time

Picture us in our orange day
Near or far you’re still here at bay
I’ll wish for you on a shooting star
And bring you here by magnetic heart
