It's a pleasure brother, I appreciate people like yourself who've put in the work that so many are afraid to put in.

I'd say my story isn't much different than the majority. Broken home in childhood, joined the military to escape it, became a hardcore drug addict during my entire twenties, and came close to death as a result of abusing myself to drown out the madness.

After that didn't work I just had to face life in a way I never had prior, and the obviousness of the lies of this world started becoming apparent.

I went down many rabbit holes of thought and research, and still do sometimes, but ultimately rabbit holes are just ponderings in a big play that we have little influence over, other than how we choose to compose ourselves and perceive the world around us. I feel we have to be the change we want to see and that's about the only influence we really have.

I mostly perceive it as a dark depressing place these days with hoards of people who've all but given up on themselves and their neighbors, so to me the most important thing these days is having purpose and sharing these insights with people who are willing to listen.

Who's willing to listen anymore though? The theatre has all but cleared out and now I'm just talking to the janitors as we blaze a big fat joint looking at the brick walls surrounding us.

When does the next play start, that seems to be the topic of discussion ;D

Cheers bro, stay vigilant out there.
