For too long I have doused my own internal fire. That animal within has been gassed with years of weed and drown in years of alcohol. It started as a creative crutch, to get me where I needed to go mentally as fast as possible. Then it became a coping mechanism as this career got busier and busier. All the while it went unchecked, using metrics like “it’s not affecting my job or my life”..

But it was.

I was at a crossroad.

Give up/restrict these last few “comforts” that I held so dearly, and find out my true potential? Or waste away, comfortable, but in creative mediocrity?

Well..

I think you know my choice.

The animal has been set free.

“The lust for comfort kills the passions of the soul.”
