I sit in stones

Pretty much the same story, minus the business and youtube

my mother was a heroin junkie that dated bikers. i grew up in a biker gang. By the time I was 15 I had already sold drugs and guns, ended up in juvie for 6 counts of assault. after I got out I had to go live with my psychotic dogmatic fundamentalist believing christian grandparents while i was on probation. for a year they pretty much beat the shit out of me every day. grandfather at one point broke a PVC pipe over my head, another time he pulled a gun on me. after my probation was up i ended up moving back in with my mother who had been clean and sober the year while i was on probation. after a month of living with her she od'd, had a nervous break down, she ended up in psych ward and i ended up homeless. i started working and going to a work at your own pace school that required you to get your GED before starting classes. went from a freshman to a senior in a year just by doing the work and testing up. all while homeless. dad found out i was homeless, moved me in with him, credits didn't transfer, dropped out and jumped into college early, right when i turned 17. put myself through college, even fought illegally for money a couple times to help pay my tuition. now I'm art directing at one of the best motion graphics studios in the industry. i have a beautiful soon to be wife, a house, 2 dogs and a tarantula. i'm happy as a clam in shit.

I was born in a pretty well established household in Oxnard CA. Then I turned two, was given a brother, my father cheated on my mother multiple times, assault happened, then came divorce and separation. Mom takes care of us by herself for YEARS. Spent years not truly knowing my father besides the fact that he existed and was a very talented artist (Rapping and producing.) I spent years of being totally disconnected to him and he tried to connect back with my brother and i so many times, but it just didn't work out because he never knew him. This situation alone caused me to be a pretty toxic and awkward kid. I would get in trouble for doing just the absolute dumbest shit possible due to peer pressure or just plain curiosity (and i mean like fucking twisted shit like google naked women on school computers and shit) Well, cut to a few years later, I get evicted out of my childhood home due to lousy landlord refusing to fix his piece of shit apartment building. so we're forced to move to this shitshow of a town called California City. The day we moved there was the day my perspective on life changed to absolute damnation. I gave up on myself. Grades were dropping, getting bullied by other kids, etc...
Then on September 24, 2015 the news was given to me that my father commited suicide. My perspective on life grew more grim since then. To the point where i was (and still am) on the verge of suicide myself. Then one day a few months after that I grew extremely interested in music, but money was very tight so i began finding free DAW's to get into and I found this video by a youtuber named Sharpie and it was "FL Studio vs. Audiotool" and thus, on September of 2016 I joined the audiotool community.
