It is Your Sole (Soul) Responsibility

Life will leave you behind if you don’t keep up with it. It will leave you so far behind, you might never be able to catch up to it. Yet, there is hope! You don’t need to catch up to it, if you are in fact starting a new life; completely separate from the life which left you behind. That’s all you need to turn a frown upside down. The ones you thought would care don’t, and the ones who never cared still don’t: third verse same as the first. No one needs to care, as it is not their responsibility to do so. Only you need to care about yourself, as this is the greatest gift you could ever possess. It is your sole (soul) responsibility to care for yourself, to truly understand what self-reliance means within the depths of your internal nature. You are your gift, and fuck everything and everyone else.

Back in 2018

This was the first book I published back in 2018. The title of the book, You Cannot Put a Picture in My Frame of Mind, comes from lyrics to a song I had written back in 1999. In the late 90’s to early 2000’s, I was lead guitarist for a death metal band here in Houston, Texas. Nothing ever became of the band, because I quit when I decided to check myself into a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center. This book is a culmination of song lyrics, daily journal entries, and dream journal entries, which I had written pre and post sobriety. I sobered up to save my life, yet throughout the years, I sometimes question if it was all worth it. Sometimes it is yes; sometimes it is not yes. It’s interesting how life can take you to places, which you never thought you would experience. The highs and lows seem to balance themselves out: flatlining. I have no words of wisdom, or “deep” philosophical insights, which no one truly gets. I have nothing for you today, except for you to enjoy your life. If you do not experience life, it might turn on you like a rabid dog, and experience you.
