I’m hesitant to post this, of course. But it’s the truth and it’s an important truth. 


Besides the launch of ansel.tv, it’s a big day for another reason: it was two years ago today that I gave up drinking for good. Things had simply run their course and I couldn’t go on living like death was imminent. I wasn’t alone — I owe my life to my friends, family, and their unwavering support and boundless love.


I visualized those two years as a sort of pretty calendar, and you can see the full version here. Take a scroll through the stars with me. Love will save you in the end.


Good night. —A∙

Couldn't help but feeling cynicall as all heck reading Love will save you in the end. But that's just a major lack of any pressence of people who're supposed to be friends or family for many years, on my end. Hope I'll change my mind on that phrase one day.

But I did feel a lot of good things reading: "Lost in the sause no more". A grumpy, bitter, cynical person as myself might even go as far as actually calling that one inspirational.

Eh but what the frik do I know?

Hey man, I can’t blame you. Feeling lonely can be extremely painful and I’m sorry you’re not getting the support you deserve. I’ve learned a lot about loving myself, too, and part of that is embracing corniness and letting myself enjoy the weepy moments. It’s fun!

Oh yes, dem good cares for yourself and the corny/weepy bits do help a lot!
