THE PAST TWO YEARS HAVE CHANGED MY LIFE. I LOST MY LITTLE BROTHER TO A HEROIN OVERDOSE. MY GOAL IN LIFE WAS TO GET A HOME TO GET MY FAMILY AWAY FROM THE DRUG INFESTED ATMOSPHERE OF CLUELESNESS. I SPENT SIX YEARS WORKING MY WAY UP FROM NAVY DROP OUT TO EMT TO COLLEGE GRADUATED PARAMEDIC. I FINALLY PURCHASED A HOUSE AND GOT MY WHOLE FAMILY UPSTATE AND OFF DRUGS ONLY TO MY LITTLE BROTHER RELAPSING ONE MORE TIME AND LOSING HIS LIFE. IN THIS TIME I WAS WITH MY HIGH SCHOOL GIRLFRIEND, WE'VE BEEN TOGETHER SINCE 2007 SO ABOUT A DECADE, A DECADE OF BLISSFUL IGNORANCE IS WHAT I WILL CALL IT. I ALLOWED HER TO ABUSE ME TO THE POINT WHERE I MADE MYSELF WORK SO MUCH JUST TO KEEP UP WITH HER WANTS AND NEEDS I DON'T KNOW HOW I FUNCTIONED. BUT SURELY THE DOMINO'S CAME TUMBLING DOWN, I WAS BEATEN ALMOST TO DEATH BY LIFE CIRCUMSTANCES BUT I GOT BACK UP. THERE IS SO MUCH MORE TO THE STORY BUT JUST KNOW THIS ART STUDIO IS A WAY FOR ME TO FREE MY MIND AND BE A HUMAN AGAIN, LIVE FREE!!
