about

January 2021, I believe myself to be at my lowest, though I cannot conceive just how wrong I am.
I am consumed with anger, sorrow, addiction and hatred.
I have hurt people. I have hurt myself.
My downward spiral continues for months.
I sit alone and seeth. I let myself become swallowed by the void. 
By late April, I have hit rockbottom.
April 26th I decide to reclaim the reigns of my shattered existence and break free of the shackles of drug and alcohol abuse.  I break myself down to my essence. I try to rebuild.
It is the hardest journey I have ventured on in my 30 years of existence. I cast aside meaningless lusts, doomed pursuits, longing for anything but purity.
This journey is hardly a success, yet I persist.
The year continues, carrying on its forward march despite my pleas for it to slow and cease.
I fall, I rise, I persevere.
I want to quit, yet I cannot.
I consider ending my life on multiple occasions.
I can't say for certain why I do not.
Love blooms and wilts and questions it's very existence.
Hatred boils and recedes to a simmer.
Someday it will freeze over.
I can only hope it will.

Meditations on Blood and Semen memorializes the most trying year of my life. A year filled with pain and strife, hope and despondence.
A year filled with life and all it offers, for better or worse.
This is my essence.
I offer it now to you.
May it find you well.
