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 โtime travelโ naps to survive a typical day on set while addicted to crack
โI 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 aroundโ
โI 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 vanishedโ
โI got someone banging on my door. โDude, you're late. What the fuck?โ And I'm still fucking sideways. So I'd pop a couple shots or like half a Xanax or somethingโ
โI 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 levitateโ
โThen I would hit the shower and I'd say, โOkay, I only have to navigate from this shower to the next shower and that's about 11, maybe 12 hoursโโ
โAnd 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 drinkingโ
โPeople look at sitcoms like, โOh, they're out there having a fun time.โ Man, it is super fucking complicatedโ
"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 isnโt just home. Itโs the whole world.
