1:1 video call today with my favorite artist EVER, Art Alexakis! 🤩 Got to meet him irl in my early 20s after a concert...back before selfies and cell phones were a thing. I had a lot of suicidal thoughts and self-harm in my teens. I truly didn't plan on still being alive in my 20s. The day I met Art, I got to tell him that Everclear's music kept me alive and gave me strength when I didn't have it. I knew that day why it was all worth it. And I sincerely haven't taken one single day since then for granted. My incredible husband, Damien, took me to said Everclear concert back in the day because my then-boyfriend/future ex-husband didn't like EC and didn't want to go. (I should have known then, lol!) Damien and I have two beautiful, amazing daughters and "just the sound of my little girls laughing makes me happy just to be alive. ~ Now I like where I have found myself, this is where I want to be now"! I've still struggled with depression and suicidal thoughts a handful of times since...but I've always thought back to how if I had ended life as a teen, I never would have had the chance to meet Art. I didn't know that I'd get to have a video call with him in my late 30s. I had zero idea that I would get to be part of such an amazing family who loves me for me. I had no idea what I would have missed out on. If you're out there and you're struggling, hang on...no matter what. Find the thing that pulls you through. You may not be able to see it now but one day it'll all make sense and be worth it. 💜 (If you're an Everclear fan, check out Everclear's FB page for more details on how to have your own 1:1 with Art's Pool Party. 🤟) #loopedlive #everclear #artalexakis #tinkerbell #holdonforonemoreday #itsgonnagoyourway #musicsaveslives #closertomyself #nonbinary #nonbinarytrans #lgbtqpride #theythem #gendereuphoria #transmasc #mascmom #beyou #bekind #loveyourself #lovelife https://www.instagram.com/p/CEDW-DAnC09/?igshid=lh3bof9eh12t
