A car crash at 14 stole my sight but gifted me a second chance at life. Thrust into a rage-filled world blinded by darkness, I clung to the raw screams and cathartic distortion of death metal to nurse my seething anger—a rebellion against a fate that took my vision and my parents. This episode is a raw, vulnerable journey through the transformative chapters of my life, where the echoes of head trauma and the all-consuming emotions eventually give way to an unexpected sanctuary found within church walls.
For two decades, my playlist was a collection of hymns and spiritual verses, a stark contrast to the blasphemous tracks that once resonated with my turmoil. As I recount my ordeal, you will discover the inner conflict between my faith and personal taste in music. This isn’t just about a switch in genres, but a profound exploration of identity and authenticity amid the backdrop of life’s unpredictable symphony. Listen as I peel back the layers of my story, revealing how resilience and transformation play out in the ever-evolving soundtrack of my life.
