as a writer and an advocate
Hey there, I'm Coda
Coda is a name I gave myself. In music, a coda is the final passage that comes after the main body of a piece. It carries everything that came before it, yet stands on its own as it brings the music to an end. I've always liked that idea.
I like rain.
