Identity, who are we? What are we?

Episode 11 I explore the concept of identity and how I am struggling with my own, seeing that as a possible connection to my struggling with my mental health.

THERE IS A BONUS! At the end of the episode there's a surprise! I include a song that I was working on with the late Gerard Smith. I found a couple songs, the one you will hear is called "Free" I wrote it while healing from my bike accident where I broke my pelvis, the injury that would lead to my struggles with opioid addiction. It's meant to capture the feelings I was going through at the time, feeling stir crazy and like I was going insane. I wasn't initially diagnosed with a broken pelvis. Woodhull is one of the worst hospitals and I was sent there initially, 2 weeks later when I still couldn't walk Gerard took me to St. Vincents where I was properly diagnosed.

Gerard Smith mixed and recorded the instruments, I wrote and sang the song. RIP Gerry, I wish we could have finished and mostly I wish you were still with us.
