2005
I hurt myself today to see if i still feel focused on the pain the only thing thats real the needle tears a hole the old familiar sting tried to kill it all away but I remember everything
2006
These are selected booking pictures of me when I was a junkie.
2007
I grew up in a good home in the burbs. i was an athlete, a good student and moderately popular I just thought I could handle it.
2008
By the time I realized I couldnt handle it my world was in shambles I couldnt see a way out other then my eventual accidental overdose I was helpless and alone ( I thought)
2014
This is me 5 years later. I'm happy healthy (ish) and mentally and emotionally stable since i got clean I've...
met a girl
we met "anonymously" in a room with coffee and a speaker
Got married
My parents couldnt quit crying (even my dad) they kept saying "it wasnt that long ago that we were pretty sure we were going to have to plan a funeral. A wedding is the best gift you could have given us."
Graduated with a 2-year
In math and physics My wife graduated the same day with earth sciences
Got back on track
The thing is the people i used to know keep dying. We used to get high and talk about how we ended up shooting up behind the KFC or in the bathroom at the gas station. Most of their friends and family had given up on them. I believe the reason I get to even be alive is because the people in my life didnt give up on me. remember the next time "that friend" calls, Taking a minute to care about and encourage someone who is down could make the difference between life and death. tl;dr people can die from lack of compassion but can live gloriously on just a little bit.
