BREATHE... a journal

This blog is a preview for my memoirs. Sort of a journal. I like to post some of my ideas and inspirations here.

The journal has about 145 pages written so far and will also feature some of my artwork and pictures. Not a book. Not a comic book. CHAOTIC, like me.

As you can see, I am not writing in a typical format. The pages might look like poems but it's simply because I like things short and simple. Clean.

If you have ever experienced depression, you know that reading a book with pages filled with words is discouraging and you quickly lose interest...

BREATHE focuses on what I have learned and experienced so far, after the loss of my dad and the depression that followed.
I started writing to vent, but it has led me to knowing myself a bit better-- my limits, my dreams.

Stevie Ray Vaughan


Another inspiration, another idol who passed away before his time.
I can listen to his music for hours! Stevie Ray Vaughan. 1954-1990.

More paintings...


If you asked me what I felt like
at this particular moment,
I wouldn't know what to say.
But a few things I can tell you
is that music INSPIRES me.
Movies open my horizons.
People fascinate me.
Art is my HAVEN.
I haven't found the love of my LIFE yet,
but I have known LOVE. In all its forms.
I have known loss, despair...
but I am still HERE.
I haven't given up.
I believe in LIFE.
I believe in ME.
I believe in HAPPINESS.
I believe that everything happens for a reason.

{PEACE}
