WHAT ROLE DOES ART PLAY IN YOUR LIFE?

Focus on something other than being in my head stressed with anxiety. Words to me are a form of art because it takes me to another place. Makes me think about life differently.

IDENTITY STATEMENT

I’ve struggled with addiction my whole life but it wasn’t all bad. I have many memories I hold close to my heart. I’m grieving. It feels like I don’t know who I am without drugs but I know I don’t like that person so I want to live a better life. Make new friends. Make new memories. With a clear mind. We die alone doesn’t mean we have to live that way too.
