You never want it to happen because it tends to instantly sap out your positive state of mind and without warning rips your momentum to shreds (or at least whatever sliver of it that remains) — but it’s there and while it isn’t always attacking, it’s the annoying neighbor you would get a sexual sense of satisfaction of curb stomping on the corner of the block you live on. Depression — one of life’s ways of telling you that you can’t have it your way, even in your own mind.
Even on the verge of finishing Wherever I Feel, designing new merch and being back on my fitness and workflow, depression loves to sit right next to me wherever I go, even when I say, “get behind me Satan”. It cares even less when trying to maintain harmony with the people you care about and loves to take a stroll by the corner of your room when in solitude.
To friends, family and even my fans who listen in to my music, look at my art and read my blogs and literary work, if you have been fighting depression in any of its sneaky forms, it’s okay — even the wild Ron Gunz fights this ugly beast and trying to tame it is harder than a twig trying to outwrestle Brock Lesnar.
That’s the scary thing about depression — you can work out, create, hang out with the happiest friends, have valuable time with family, bury yourself with work or distract with an awesome video game, comic book or anime — depression doesn’t even know the meaning of personal space and respect. Heck, I even dated a woman once, whom I legit cared for, who had depression and even took medication to “balance the brain”. Regardless of switching up meds in case if they didn’t work or increasing the dosage, it didn’t stop feelings of irritability or even feeling emotionally numb to where whatever decisions you made meant nothing to you, even if it meant hurting someone.
There’s ain’t a damn lot I can say to solve and beat it because some days, taming it is as easy as cracking an egg and other days, it’s equivalent to being bent over and having a baseball bat being shoved inside you — with nails!
Love,
Ron Gunz
To my wonderful Gunz Crew,
This has been quite the fun year — as an artist, an author, a fitness enthusiast and as a husband and father and thankfully, I got to hare some of that with all of you!
I managed to make Paypal a viable option for everyone to get Where My Voice Cannot Speak and Vol. 1 in a bundle (at an awesome price of $13.99, just send to RonnieAGonzalez@gmail.com)!
Ron Gunz merch is finally existing on the web courtesy of Redbubble!
I started the year at 292 pounds with 24% fat and dropped to a good 242 pounds with 16.2 % body fat.
Wherever I Feel, the upcoming 2nd album, is at almost 90% completion. I can’t wait to share this new album as soon as it’s done in 2016!
Lorimer turned 2 and thus far has manifested herself as the most awesome 2 year old a father could possibly have — calling me her best friend, hugging and kissing and today learned to go up and down the stairs in the house by herself without as much as a bump!
2016 is looking to be an awesome but also a challenging year. There are things I’ve got in development, things I want to as well. If 2015 sucked for you, 2016 should be seen as an opportunity for positive change — for your mind, body, spirit, soul and environment.
Much love to all,
Ron Gunz
