This Friday 13th I finally completed the project I have been building up. Something that started back in 2020 when I decided to say f*ck depression and started my escape from that kind of hell.
Yes, it took 4 years because healing from trauma it is like onions, it comes in layers. Especially when it is childhood trauma. I mean it was years ago and the wound was deep AF! Therefore, of course it will take time for the storm to end.
The interest part is that, the weekend followed by Friday 13th I played my first Iron Maiden cover, and it was live on stage! I mention this because of my story of trauma that I tell in my autobiography Punkaste, which is related to heavy metal, religion and Iron Maiden. Iron Maiden comes in saving me from suicide. Iron Maiden not only helped me dodge suicide but also guided me into healing my depression.
The project that includes being my own band, writing rock and roll comic books and learning all Iron Maiden songs in the guitar. Something that started when I was building my son’s crib in 2016 with an intuitive thought. I wanted to heal my depression and I didn’t know how, and that intuitive thought can in, and guess what? It freaking worked!
In this journey what I found as a solution for depression is love. Loving yourself in a way your cup is full and that can overflow to others around you. Specially your family, after all, everything starts from within. Within you, within your house, within your community.
Speaking of witch, I said in my last post I was writing more books other than comic books. However the truth is, writing regular books it is not where my heart is. My heart is with comic books and songs. Those 2 are where my cup overflows to the world. Oh, and I do love writing on my blog.
I guess is fair to say, the search for love, as self love, it is over. I found and it is already overflowing. For more info, check out http://www.rock-it-ology.com

Ps: Picture taken while working on my Xmas special, which will include an Iron Maiden cover. I did the face painting with my daughter and here I am working on the musical next to Luke, the one where I was building the crib when I had the intuitive thought that kick off this entire project!
