I often see myself as a very loyal and emotional artist. I sometimes enjoy writing about the deep rooted issues I face in my life on a day to day basis because I sort of want to inspire someone else to not make the same mistakes or bad decisions that I made in the past.
Being a recovering drug addict means that I am faced with extremely difficult challenges every single day. Now that I'm back home in King Williams Town my mind has been actively spinning with thoughts of the life I lived under the influence of so many mood and mind altering substances. It’s hard having to be back to the very place that nearly killed me, literally.
Facing your “demons” is something we all have to do at some point. We must confront the things that plague us– our insecurities, shortcomings, and the sneaking suspicion that maybe we are not as good of people as we play ourselves to be. Life has not been easy but I've actually realized how great it is for me to rather be back home to face all my demons - head on, with the help of the people who love me the most. Mom and dad. I honestly cannot run away from the temptations of all the things of this world.
All I can say for now is that I can never allow my problems to over way my solutions. I always want to put myself in a situation where I'm spoilt or given no boundary in acting out on my love for the simple things that interest me in life.
So many family members missing in this 'family picture' because the rest of the family had to focus on making sure the party ended in total bliss or close to perfection.
