I reached out and asked for help. At the time, I thought my life was over, I thought Id never live past the age of 21. Today Im grateful to be alive, in this new chapter of life in recovery, standing with my colleagues and friends, making art that helps other people. Today was a magical day. Another day to be grateful to be alive. Alisha, Selena, and I went together to get ; tattoos. The ; symbol stands for an end of one thought and a beginning of another. Instead of a period, authors use the semicolon to continue a sentence. For us, it means a beginning of another chapter in life, in lieu of ending your life.
