Lyrics:
I've been living on the road
Made a buck off my soul
I've been singing stories to the crowd
Been a while since I've been home
Think about you every night
Wonder what it would've been like
If I stuck around and settled down
Maybe in another life
So if I fly too far
Will I still have a place inside your heart
When you see what I've become
Will you love me for who I am, not who I was
You keep me steady on the ground
When my head's lost in the clouds
That spot light though it shines bright
Could never drown you out
I know it's hard when I'm away
I just hope you don't lose faith
Cuz I told the truth when I said to you
That I'll be back someday so
If I fly too far
Will I still have a place inside your heart
When you see what I've become
Will you love me for who I am, not who I was
Will you love me for who I am, not who I was

Addicted to opioids for 12 years. Today, I'm 17 days sober. Thank you, Jesus. Update: In 43 days, clean today. When I stopped, I was 156lb. I'm 6 feet tall. You can imagine how skinny I was. Today, I no longer get sick. I'm starting to love myself. I'm 185lb. I went to the gym like I once did. Caring for myself. Appreciate the support, yall!

I moved 3000 miles away to escape the death of my parents. So i wouldnt feel their ghosts everywhere i looked. I think it made it worse

[@jamesamberrichesson6528]

It reminds me of my Mom passing away😢 I had went to visit, and we had an amazing night, it was a five girls' birthday in March show me how to make birthday party so of course we had a good time and I had to get back home with my 4 girls, the next day, My Mom asked me to stay one more night but my 3 daughter's had tambourines so I asked my mom to go home with us so she can watch them perform also she wouldn't leave with us, ask me to say again pleading pretty much, I should have just stayed, 7 hours later I get a phone call that she had a heart attack, I lived the really rough childhood me and my mom grew up together she was 15 when she had me unfortunately I became the other parent when she had my three other siblings I wanted to stay with her again that night but I know my daughters were the only ones that play tambourines in their bands so I couldn't let their previous engagements just be pushed to the side I really wish I would have stayed again she lived 1.30 minutes awa I was there 55 minutes and my siblings said shehad a heart attack 45 year old working women of 4 and grandchildren boom gone 😢 song brings me peace she would loved it ! But I do wonder she asked me to move closer to her, and I didnt or just stayed longer but im blessed I got to see the adult side of her mature then she was gone its been the biggest challenge in my life , but I have to tell myself everyday some dont get to say good bye some don't get to see the better side 😢 but if she was here we would be listen and singing it together 😢 sorry

[@IsekaiMeAlready]

I'm going home in 2 days, after 2 years of living abroad. I'm excited about being home again but also nervous cause I am aware of how much I've changed in the past 2 years and I feel unsure of how my family & friends will react to who I am now. Thanks for creating a music that really represents what I'm going through ❤

[@AngieAJ]

What's it like now?

[@ryer7042]

We want update man

[@IsekaiMeAlready]

Oh wow, didn't know that people will be so invested in my story! Coming home was nice, but also weird. I feel like I'm experiencing my country and home for the first time again, which is both fascinating and well....weird. It's weird because things that used to be mundane now somehow feel very foreign(?). Being in my family home also means going back to an environment with a lot of stuff that easily trigger my childhood trauma so it's also been a bit tough. Not everyone is blessed with a harmonious family with healthy relationship dynamics, but sometimes that's all you can only come home to. Regarding the family, they seem a bit taken aback with who I am now & how much I've changed. But as most conservative Asian family, they just kind of bottle up their feelings & pretend everything's fine. I realized that some of my values don't really align anymore with what they believe in, but I believe that we can still compromise and be a part in each other's life. Although, I am also prepping myself to be okay if I have to separate myself or cut ties with them if push comes the shove. I must say, I do miss being on my own & exploring the world so I can't wait for my next adventure in life. Thank you for reading my story, I hope you are doing well wherever you are. Always believe that you have the power to create the life that you want & become your own person so never give up :)

Can’t even explain how this feels man, grew up in Vermont and moved to Colorado over the course of 2 years. Been running from addiction like the plague, this hits home and I appreciate you. Thank you for this brother,

[@annsheely]

Wherever you go, there you are

[@TheProPainter]

Max, you got this! I was also strapped with addiction for years…. I lost my family, home, dog and my baby brother from overdose… that still wasn’t enough to get clean… 6 months later went to jail and finally kicked the habit and I’m now approaching 3 months of sobriety and I will never look back. I was taking upwards of 30 pain pills a day. Spending thousands a week. The whole time I was scared of withdrawal. 6 days on my death bed and another week of lethargy was all it took bro. Now I feel better than I ever have. It can be done bro!!! You need to find a good support system to help.

[@javierlam3783]

A bit late, but I find that the red rising series captures this feeling really well. Especially in book 2. In fact, I would say the feeling of the song IS the central theme of the book

[@clown1536]

@@javierlam3783 Ooo that sounds interesting. What's the synopsis?

[@javierlam3783]

@@clown1536 I just finished book 2. I would say the scale of it is very vast and grand- Its a space opera kinda book similar to Dune or Warhammer 40k, and its about how an oppressed group of people starts a societal revolt. However at its emotional core, its also about someone forced to change to protect the ones he love, and he questions if he still likes the person he was forced to become. Its rather 'edgy' and a little indulgent at times, but I think its a good read for fantasy/scifi lovers! (But note, book 2 hits HARD with the misery haha)

[@jacintagrant2536]

I lost a lot of important people recently (they're not dead but they're gone) and I've made some drastic changes to who I was and who people knew me to be and this song makes me want to cry so bad because I'll never be THAT person again and I feel like I'm begging those left to love me.

[@ilikestarsun]

Had to take a break between me and the love of my life for a while to get my shit together, life brought us together again but this song would of brought me to tears of how accurate the lyrics were at the time, even now as Im still struggling to become a man she could be proud of, it still brings me to tears. Sometimes we need to figure ourselves out and take our own development seriously and realize that just because right now you may not be the man you want to be, as long as you dont give up, one day youll be proud of yourself for all the sacrifices youve made to become a man that you are proud of and that your beloved is proud of. I know she still is proud of me anyways, but I can be better and we can never loose hope. A life without developing yourself to become better is a life waisted, the more you help yourself, the more you can help the people around you, dont give up on yourself, to conquere the self is more honorable than to conquer the world, we are all here to do the same whether we realize it or not, we are not the person we were yesterday and tomorrow we will not be the person we are today, just keep swimming the universe is guiding your way ❤️

Such a great song. Deep and meaningful, wish there were more songs like this 😥

[@teresahowe28]

I just recently came across this song while randomly shuffling thru Spotify. My son recently reconnected with his dad after nearly 14 years. My son had just started kindergarten when I made the decision to once and for all leave his father after enduring years of DV, alcoholism and drugs. Though I loved and cared for him deeply, I just couldn’t stay. My daily prayer during those dark times and even after we left him, was that one day he would turn his life around and break free from the chains of addiction. Today, he is sober, healthy and lives his life for God and his children. He is the man/father I always prayed he would one day be. This song hits to the soul. I think part of me will always love him and he will always hold a special place in my heart and soul though life has taken us down different paths.
