Dec 2019

where I was closed off from everyone and everything. I’ve been free of methadone since early 2019 (it definitely saved my life, but, damn, it sucks all feeling, motivation, and interest out of ya). Ever since, I have been rediscovering the things I love. It’s been overwhelming, in a great way.

Went through probably 6 months of all Pink Floyd, all the time, then moved onto Phish, then Traffic, then Steely Dan. December has been Yes and King Crimson. Of course, the Dead has been ongoing throughout it all (after the Floyd phase, which I admit was freakin’ hardcore. As it should be, lol!).

Early Yes is absolutely the shit!
