Great piece that deeply resonated with me. I miss so many people. Living on the edge of society has its consequences, and sometimes the consequence can be death, but in a way it was all worth it for the incredible experiences I shared with the other freaks… whether on stage or at shows or at private parties. I feel like my life has been incredibly enriching. There isn’t a dead friend I have who didn’t influence me whose wisdom I don’t still carry. Punk is so much more than a musical genre.

I hold my dead friends with me close but some of them it was so long ago now and they never made it past their early 20's. This is the person that inspired me to start the Icarus Project and she was only 23, I think about her all the time. https://undergroundtransmissions.substack.com/p/too-close-to-the-sun?utm_source=%2Fsearch%2Ftoo%2520close%2520to%2520the%2520sun&utm_medium=reader2
