Life is a miracle huh?

 Another day down. I enjoy work, but I'm always glad when it's over. Now it's time to hit the gym. 

Then a meeting...

Fuck man. AA is ruined. I mean... its not, its what I make it. But it sure feels like it's ruined. At least in this town.

Its a way bigger drag then it should be, but its not like I am happy to see these people. 

Sometimes I feel like I should have stayed in Spokane. 

I hate seeing these women. It'd be worth it to see my ex though. 

Is it bad that the thought of possibly seeing her makes me happy? Maybe see her laugh again. 

She hates you Joe. Remember that. Don't forget that. 

Positive thought:

I was hitchhiking to nowhere, just south towards California. Headed home so I could forget about my ex. Of course I was crossfaded as hell.

This family picked me up. 

At first I felt stupid.... drunk around kids... 

Nice... Butterfly.

Just like my mom. Though nicer.

But I asked this little boy if he was in school. He said yea. I asked if he liked school. 

He said he LOVED it! 

That surprised me haha. 

I asked if he liked history class and he said it was his favorite subject. 

HEY.... MINE TOO! 

What about Ancient Rome? 

He loved that too. 

So here I am. The middle of the night. Wasted, cold, hungry, and completely lost in the deserts of Washington State in a snow storm when I suddenly find myself telling this kid about Romes "fast food" and their fish sauce and hes telling me about their running water and how they had apartments. 

Cool ass kid dude. 

That family showed me where a shelter was and drove me all the way there. 

Things may suck, like me being so fuckin stupid that I lost the most amazing woman ever. 

Like being stranded in a desert.

But you never know whats next. 

Like the storm outside my window right now. 

I hope my ex drives safe in this storm. 

Life is a miracle.

Intro to My Journey

Hello. My friends call me Butterfly.  Since October 2024 I've been involved in 3 foot pursuits, 2 car chases, 1 minor car accident, 1 major car accident, 2 hospital visits, 1 hospital escape, and multiple hitchhiking adventures. I've been back to jail, had 2 relapses, and I literally froze under a bridge. I was tackled and had cops with guns out screaming at me to get down on the frozen concrete. This and so much more. Actions of a desperate and foolish man who was spiraling. A choice I made alone.  So I lost everything. I lost my job, my house, my car, my freedom, and the worst of it all, the love of my life hates me man. It all started with "Just one", but after it all... I have only one thing to say.... "worth it bro". I want none of it back.  Ya see I literally ate my windshield at 80mph (so say the cops. I can't actually remember) just so I could see that "something" let me walk away. In fact I ran away. But I never was able to...

What this blog and "The Break Away Experience" is truly about.

Tonight I spoke with a man around my age about learning, growth, and having no fear of death. The conversation was short, yet to me, it was potent.  I stepped outside for a smoke after watching a woman sing and play the piano and as I rolled up my cigarette the man asked me how I was doing. Being polite I told him that I was so far so good and asked him how he was.  What he told me was "Any day above water is a good day".  I liked that. I actually liked that a lot.  He told me of how he had almost drowned and explained that when he found himself upside down on the wrong side of the surface he found peace watching the sun reflect off the water above him.  He learned that day that death was nothing to fear, and I too hold this belief. I wish I could remember the conversation word for word in its entirety so I could properly relay it all here, but I don't. However I can tell you how the conversation ended before he simply got up and walked away....

Update On A Vagabond

Image
I guess that's it then. A new life somewhere is out there. All past is gone and is lost. They're all gone now. I find myself alone, once again, in a room full of people. I made it through the plains and thats good enough for me. They coyotes were screaming and the light was nowhere to be found. I told God that if he has something to prove, well then the plains was the place to do it. My knife was out as the coyotes teased me in the night when some kid screeched past me in the middle of nowhere. I believe we scared eachother, but he was a friend and had me hop in his truck. Don't ask me how it happened. He doesn't even usually drive through that way, but was avoiding the main roads due to the snowstorm. Perhaps it was divine intervention? I should be dead.  So many times over... I should be dead.  The question now is how? How the fuck am I even alive? Other than Evan of course. Or better yet... why?  Am I supposed to be here or is that just my ego speaking. B...
