A month ago today I celebrated my 5th year as a sober addict. This was the hardest. In fact, I’d argue that it’s been the hardest year in my life so far because every gut wrenchingly painful thing, every upheaval, each loss that came along was trudged through completely sentient. I had my heart completely and utterly torn to shreds by someone I gave all of myself to, only to end up surviving domestic violence in the end and accumulating a whole new level of damage. I had to terminate a child. I lost important people. Lost my creative community. I started trauma therapy and CPTSD recovery. Experienced new emotional bottoms which were scarier than the ones I used to back in active addiction. Almost checked myself in for mental health. Almost checked myself out of existence. Stopped eating and sleeping for a while. Trust and love felt like dangerous strangers. It was darker than it’s been in a very very long time, y’all.
But then, all at once, there was a change. Like when an ecosystem is devastated by a fire. Everything that once grew and lived in the best way it could is taken down in flames. Burnt down. Dead and gone. …and then, with light, with nourishment from the resources that were meant to support it, with spirit and strength, it grows back. Back better. Stronger. Blossoming in a way it couldn’t before.
That is what my life became.
The most genuine people I’ve been blessed to know showed up to carry me and love me..and in no way transactional whatsoever. Just because they wanted to. And fuck..I came to begin to believe, for the first time in my whole life, that I actually really do deserve that. I’m still not fully comfortable with it, but I’m pushing through that because I’ve come to find that the greatest things in my life have always been preceded by a wall of fear.
This year I got to travel, celebrate my living and dead loved ones, saw my #1 w/a bullet fav band (NIN), started playing piano and writing again. Opened my heart back up. And ate SO much cake in less than 24 hours with my best friend.
Through fearless honesty, open mindedness and willingness I get to have this life.
It’s like Trent always says, “nothing can stop me now.”

Halloween week 2025 truly redeemed the suckfest that was a large chunk of the rest of the year. All thanks to the incredible people I get to be friends with these days.
I have nothing witty to say here, I just fucking love Halloween, I fucking love my friends and I fucking love my life these days.
Oh and I fucking loved that Bad Brains cover band⚡️
