Before I cracked, music was what I hid behind. I wrote songs, sang & played in bands, was a DJ, worked in a record store, was a recording artist.
Being a musician was my whole identity, what I clung to to rescue me from a shitty life. It often just drained my soul and my bank account as I desperately poured myself into it, getting little in return. The most I got from it was making a few special friends along the way, but looking back it was a huge distraction.
