Re: 10 Things
I really like this concept, so I'll add my 10 things.
1. I had love once (for 17 years), now I don't, so Loveless was born (I'll get my one back, or die alone trying).
2. I've been completely abstinent for over a year now (it's not as hard as one would think).
3. I've been playing bass guitar and saxophone badly for years.
4. Due to meds (I didn't need) I know what true insanity is like (17 years of it due to a long misdiagnosis).
5. I was a professional tattoo artist for 16 years (I don't count the years of being under aged and poking my friends in the garage).
6. I was homeless in a bad neighborhood recently (The whole time I didn't carry even a knife).
7. I'm very hard headed, I had to learn all my lessons the hard way, but at least I learned the lessons.
8. I love downhill long boarding (My best speed was 52mph on a canyon road (I wonder what the cars thought when I flew by when they could only legally do 30mph)).
9. I've broken myself (including spinal, I have a lot of titanium in me) in the name of fun. It was fun until I broke myself.
10. I've become (in my opinion) a modern day philosopher, so I'll leave you with two bits of advice I love to tell (especially to youngsters if they'll listen):
-(this one I reiterated) Live each day as if it's your last, but, pay your bills, and use a condom just in case it isn't.
-(This is one born of my mind, and I'm very proud of it) I have lived in dark places, both in this world and within my own mind. Make no mistake, monsters do exist. It's best to stay out of the dark.
Well, that's it. I hope I chose good ones that show me (at lest as well as 10 things can). Life has been hard, but I don't let my pain destroy me, I've used it to better myself, and keep pushing forward. Everyday I'm thankful I wake up, and am at least here to try.
