A Message To Another Thats Really For Me

 Piano doesn't have to be a career. Its expression. Its love and hatred. Its what you do when you want to smoke meth. Its a message. Its "leave me alone". Its "come all who will listen". Its "my day SUCKED". Its "my day was awesome" its "I love you". Its "I hate you".  Its peace in the mayhem bro. Sometimes I feel lost. All the time in fact. Im mad at love lost. Im mad at jail, homelessness, and drugs. Im mad at ME! But when I'm at the keys I feel at home. It's home. Even though I'm not very good. Im home. 


Express yourself and dont ever give up, because if piano is your brother you'll regret not trying. 


I've been playing all my life but I haven't truly thrived because I was lost too and chose drugs and homelessness..


You'll be alright and I have faith in you. 


Enjoy the journey. Put yourself out there. Meet musicians. Play. It's playing after all right? Go play and be honest and the music is the goal. You'll be alright bro.  Don't feel lost. Take those feelings and give them to the keys.

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....

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...

God... Fuck you, and lemme ask

I feel so out of touch. It seems I've lost so much. Will I ever be enough? Will I ever be in touch With me? ​I want... Ha, does it matter? "I want" is always on my mind. Will I ever consider Anything But me? ​Oh God, I just want to say fuck you. Oh God, I just want to ask you: Was I there with you Before I came down to this Earth, Stuck here With me? -Butterfly
