Yes You

Let me tell you something that'll never reach you if I'm preaching. But please. Let me preach. Let me waste my breath on my ego and speech.  Let me talk too much. Let me try and try then realize and give up on my ego and me. The best you can be... is you. The greatest you'll achieve is knowing that "you" is ok. You is great. And you are the only you that'll ever be...

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.

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
