I find music as the purest of the arts. The ability to conjure up euphoric feelings to the point of rhythmically moving to each beat and transporting you to that particular memory within 5 minutes is spectacular.
Charlie Sheen says he relied on Xanax, alcohol and “time travel” naps to survive a typical day on set while addicted to crack
“I was doing this thing where I was partying, hitting the fucking pipe, either girls or porn or both or whoever showed up. Come on in. There's plenty to go around”
“I felt like I was time traveling from 1 a.m. to 7. It felt like 15 minutes. Whereas 9 a.m. to midnight felt normal. Wow, we have plenty of time to do everything. And then the hours I really needed to settle in and enjoy just vanished”
“I got someone banging on my door. ‘Dude, you're late. What the fuck?’ And I'm still fucking sideways. So I'd pop a couple shots or like half a Xanax or something”
“I would literally do this thing. It was a 15 minute, 20 minute nap where I would just hit the pillow. I'd try to meditate with a body just vibrating from crack all night. I'm trying to fucking time travel. I'm trying to levitate”
“Then I would hit the shower and I'd say, ‘Okay, I only have to navigate from this shower to the next shower and that's about 11, maybe 12 hours’”
“And then I'd get to work and have that midday drop off. I wasn't hitting the pipe at work, but I needed to keep some fuel in the engine. So I'd start drinking”
“People look at sitcoms like, ‘Oh, they're out there having a fun time.’ Man, it is super fucking complicated”
"you cant a break a person whos not afraid to eat alone, whos not afraid to be rejected, whos not afraid to lose friends in the process.
cuz that person, theyve already face the silence, theyve already sat with lonelineness, theyve already learned to clap for themselves.
you cant bring down someone who STOPPED waiting for validation, who turned their pain into power, who turned the wounds into wisdom.
that kind of person, theyre held up by something stronger than applause. theyre fueled by something so powerful, called self love.
and once you learn to stand on your own. they can try to push you, but you wont fall.."
When you feel alone, remember that Demodex mites live on your face and spend their entire lives there.
To them, your face isn’t just home. It’s the whole world.
