You know this whole grown up adult life thing can be trying sometimes, amirite? Work, life, kids, spouse, neighbours, the list goes on and on. It’s one thing after another most days. It’s a good day if you made it through to the end without swearing at someone, flipping the bird to the asshole who just cut you off or hollering at your kids.

Yup, it’s a good day if you made it through without any form of drama, chaos or anxiety.

I don’t let most stuff get to me. Ever. Really. For the most part, most of it just doesn’t matter to me.

But it wasn’t always like that. The life I had back in Northern Ontario Canada was one full of anxiety and stress and crap. Lots and lots of crap. I hated my life and everything and everyone in it. I hated myself.

And then…

I finally just tapped the fuck out!

And then I just about had had enough. Life was brutal. So much stuff to stress about and worry about I just couldn’t stand it anymore. I was hating my life and questioned my existence almost every damn day.
