ESTRANGED.
A self imposed exile from my family. A topic that I have thoroughly exhausted over the past 12 years in a theatrical abstraction. On this, my 35th birthday I tally the cost.
Many years lost to examining the impossibility of having a genuine experience.
Untold months of rebirth. Discovering my brothers and sisters. My mothers and fathers. The ones of my choosing.
Transforming habits and vices into art, religion and philosophy.
I am blessed with a freedom my father never had and I cherish it more than the vows that bind him. I've learned more of my parents by not speaking to them than all the years we knew together.
It is comforting to know that with my chosen family we know we are alone, together.
Whether you can relate to this in a familial level or not, there is always someone there to knock you down.
Like Kristofferson said, "Don't let the bastards get you down."
Now go out there and give 'em hell!
