The Otherside is the most played song in my iTunes play list; my personal mantra to the last few years of my life; even more so the last year. I lost everything, seperated from my wife & kids, lost my home, job, possessions, became homeless sleeping in my truck, migrated from Nevada back to my home turf in NYC and battled my personal metal struggles on the verge of giving up on life. As a US Army veteran I had my house my back, assessed what resources I had at my disposal and this song in my iTunes and it gave me the motivation I needed on constant repeat hours on end. I crawled through mud, hell and back again; it made no difference as long as I "came out on the other side". The only difference is I didn't come out the otherside along; I came out a stronger, wiser person, learned from my mistakes; landed a new job, took my pay and got a temp roof over my head, saved got a apartment, found myself, and the week of July 4th 2017 brought my family back together... "How low, how low Can you keep digging this hole? Until we come out on the otherside. Crawling through mud What's the difference when you come out on the otherside? Falling from grace What's the difference when you come out on the otherside?" I'd also like to leave a another two quotes from Shawshank Redemption for someone else who might come along and found this song motivational... "Remember Red, hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies." I.... "crawled through a river of sh** and came out clean on the other side." |
