“I’m tired of feeling like I need a break; From running in circles and losing my pace; I should be healing, but I feel the same; Guess it’s never gonna go away.”

I will start this out by saying I am good folks. When I first wanted to write this, that’s a different story…

This song man, this fu***ng song. Do you ever listen to a song and just feel deep in your very core that this song was made for you, about you? Almost most like self-reflection from the eyes and mouth of another? This song does that for me. I have been very open with all of you that follow me on the socials, but full honesty: I haven’t truly let myself completely be shown. Why? Because I’m fu***ng scared of it. I am scared of myself. I have been for years. So, I get numb and go through my days being an overly helpful type of person because I never EVER want anyone to feel how I have/do feel on a constant basis. And if that means holding that door, chatting with a random stranger or even smiling at a passerby when I feel like a slight breeze will shatter my entire being into a million pieces.

That being said, I will always be there for someone in need. For someone who needs to air their s**t out. I will hold that burden to lighten the load as best I can. I do this because I know I can handle it for you. Living in a state like this for a long time, probably longer than I am aware, I have developed quite the resiliency. As much as I hate it, it comes in handy. So lay your worries on me, I will help you hold them until you can hold them yourself.

A Little Too Late by Nate Vickers found me at the time I needed the most. I haven’t dove too far into his music but I do feel like I may need to. I can’t find too much info on the guy at this point other than he is from Houston, Texas. Give him a listen. It may be exactly what you need.

Cheers. I love you all.

“The storms keep a-comin; Let it rain, don’t mean nothing”

I don’t know about you guys, but I love a good little shanty. This one gives just enough of an upbeat to keep you toe tapping while doling out lyrical fire… literal lyrical fire. FIRE!!!!

Ok, sorry about that…

Seriously though, these lines are very empowering and inspiring if you fully take them in. As with the one I’ve picked today, it is basically telling us to weather the storms we go through in life. Those struggles we all face? They. Don’t. Mean. S**T! They are but stepping stones to propel us into our higher state of being. The being that we are all fu***ng meant to be! Does the storm seem to be never ending? Fu***ng weather it. You may want to give up. You may want to succumb to the storm and let yourself plunge into the icy depths of Davy Jones locker. But you… YES, YOU… are stronger than that. You are a fighter, if you weren’t then you would have never made it to this plane of existence. Exist to live your fu***ng life, not just to live. Make me proud, you beautiful so*******ch.

Against The Tide (The Captain’s Tarantella) by Sail North is one of those songs that get me going. I can almost envision a group of vagabonds spending the night in a tavern in old colonial times, bringing their musicians to land and becoming the life of night. Maybe I’ve watched too many pirate shows in my life but this gives me the want to adventure. Go sailing even, and I’m not a fan boats…

“Hello. I like to tell stories set stylistically to Celtic shanty pop. The project name, Sail North, is an invitation to discover what is most important to you and have the courage to go after it. I hope my music can be the soundtrack to your voyage. Welcome aboard.”
-The Captain, Sail North

“I wanna say, the person that I was, was not okay; But you can’t go and hand all the blame to me; It’s plain to see that you weren’t there for me; Don’t turn away; Because I’d do anything to make you stay; Don’t tell me I’m the one who walked away”

I couldn’t split up this verse. Each part is important for its own reason. I feel we all have times in our interactions where we feel we were not our best self, that what we said, what we did, was not okay. Funny thing is it’s never a one-way street, is it? And unfortunately, the ones who feel the most, who have tried their hardest (or gave all they had left in their tank) to keep the other person who tend to suffer. And they are blamed. Always blamed. You didn’t do enough. You were too much. You were crazy. You didn’t have emotion.

Been on both sides. Feels fan-fu***ng-tastic.

“Feel Me Now” by If Not For Me is a band that hails from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. They have a reputation for high energy performances and passionate, heavy music. I haven’t heard much from them, but if this is any indication, they will have some relatable songs for those going through the s**t.

“I wrote ‘Feel Me Now’ about a handful of toxic relationships I had to navigate through in my early adulthood. I was going through a major transitional period in my life where I desperately needed to figure out who I was, and more importantly, who I didn’t want to be. Feel Me Now expresses the desperation and heartache of feeling confined in a broken relationship that you know is only hurting the both of you. We make mistakes, we cling to a love that is fleeting, and we hurt each other in ways we can never take back. Not from a place of malice, but from a place of fear and unresolved trauma, and a longing for something we know we can’t have.”- Patty Glover, lead vocalist

So, during my massages there are multiple things that I am actively looking/feeling for to better help you. One of those things are the lovely, thickened areas in a taut band of muscle called Trigger Points.

Trigger points are commonly tender, can cause paresthesia (collective term for tingly/prickly sensations, like the TV static feeling in your foot after sitting on it for too long) or cause other autonomic responses, such as a twitch, when provoked by pressure. See, these things wouldn’t be as annoying to have if they only caused pain where they are located. The problem is that trigger points commonly have a referred pattern of pain. For example, one I get with people often is while working on their shoulders and sinking into the upper trapezius muscle and then they mention that they feel it up into their head. One of the crazier ones that I have ran into is one that is located in the calf that refers all the way to the lower back! And even crazier? They aren’t just in muscles. Trigger points have been found in the tendo-osseous junction (place where tendon attaches to bone) and even your ligaments!

Not only can they lead you on a wild goose chase, but there are also different types of trigger points.
Active- A trigger point with a referred sensations that are familiar with the person and are currently causing pain.
Latent- The sensations of pain only happen with a strong pressure. Although pain is not on the forefront, these can be harmful as they can change activation patterns of muscles or cause weakness.
Primary- Trigger points that cause severe pain locally and referred pain. These are USUSALLY found around the center of a muscle belly.
Secondary/Satellite- These arise in response to existing Primary trigger points in the surrounding muscles and usually clear up once the Primary has been taken care of.

“Intoxication takes control now (control now); Self-medication takes its grip; I’m crawling on the floor; (Take deep breaths, your heart is racing)”

Self-medication. It is a problem in our world, and I can guarantee you that more people partake in it than they realize. Hell, I believed it for the longest time about myself until I grew older and wiser (allegedly). See, self-medicating isn’t just deciding that I am going to take these pills that are not prescribed to me since they are supposed to help with anxiety or depression or pain, etc.

Have you ever decided that I need to have a couple drinks to alleviate the stress of the day? How about drowning heartache with your most trusted therapist, a bottle of whiskey? That has been a past and way too recent reality for me. To deal with a combination of stress, change, heart ache, I would wake up in physical pain that no amount of massage or other physical modalities could touch. The only thing I could think of doing is 1, 2, 3 shots and a hit. That was the only thing that was making me get out of bed for a bit. Knowing that the pain I was feeling would melt once I partook in this self-destructive ritual. Luckily, that didn’t last long. That version of me I am actively working on in therapy. To find better ways to manage when those feelings come up. It’s hard, especially when that’s the only thing you knew to do to repel the demons.

Until I Wake is a band that is based out of Buffalo, New York. This post-hardcore band started in 2019 and signed with Fearless Records in 2021, which is when they released their first self -titled EP. Until I Wake’s style of music tackles mental health and addiction, with the hope of bringing attention to these issues and allowing the space for people to feel comfortable in speaking up about it, and that is a mission I can get behind.

“Today I'll be a friend of mine; Who swallows suffering with smile.”

Now that is line is something that sticks with me every time I listen to this song. To me, it’s the description of trying to love yourself through all your suffering (doing the healing) all while greeting the world with a smile. I mean, that has been what I have done for years, silently suffering, learning to love myself while letting the world think it’s all sunshine and fu***ng rainbows in the land of myself.

Pisces by Jinjer was written about the Pisces astrological sign. Tatiana Shmailyuk, the singer AND ONLY SINGER (if you listen to the song, you’ll understand why this is highlighted 😉), is a big believer in astrology. She wrote this track to show her solidarity with her astrological family. "I know it doesn't rule your life, but in some ways, it can determine your past," she told Songfacts in 2022.

The Pisces sign is symbolized by 2 fish swimming in opposite directions, representing the constant division of Pisces’ attention between fantasy and reality. This sign is the last sign in the Zodiac calendar, therefore absorbing EVERY lesson-the good and the bad-learned by all the signs. "It's a little anthem to all those Pisces out there, because it's really hard for them to survive in this world, because they combine all the 12 signs of the zodiac in themselves. You can call it split personalities. So, we are 12 personalities inside. It's a lot of inner conflicts all the time."

So, if you listen to this song and still feel like it relates to you, even though you aren’t a Pisces, do not worry. Pisces have a little bit of all of us in them.

“It’s all my fault; I should have known how to make you feel better”

This line is the thought process of every, and I truly mean every, relationship that has deteriorated for me. I feel like a good portion of men feel like it is no one’s fault but their own when a relationship ends because we couldn’t keep our partner happy. It feels like we just aren’t good enough. And let me tell you, when it happens again and again and again, you start to think you will never be good enough. Like nothing you do ends up mattering because no one is going to give a flying f**k about you, so why try?

Try to Heal by Seether is a song that was released earlier this year, I think around the end of summer if I remember right. It has been one of those songs I have listened to so often because the lyrics felt like they were written about me in that stretch of time. And I feel like this song has much more depth than I initially realized, musically more than lyrically this time.

The lyrics are powerful, there is no doubt about that. But the arrangement and moods that the instrumentation gives is wild. Listening to this song more closely, I have found that the lyrics where he is talking about how he was played with by a love interest has a softer tone to it, like you feel from someone sitting on the edge of the bed, recounting these instances in their head, face in hands, trying to make sense of it all. Then you hit the chorus, where it gets a little heavier in the sound. There it is the act of using this pain to spur himself into trying to heal himself. Then we hit the spot right before he screams and when he ends up screaming, which feels like a spiral, ending with him yelling and breaking. And around it goes, like the cycle does. Showing that healing is not linear, but filled with peaks and valleys, with rock-bottom always looming.

If you know me in any capacity, you would know that I love playing hockey. I have been skating and playing the sport since I was a wee lad of the age of 5 and I have not stopped since. I still play to this day.

Why is this important, you may be thinking?

Well, the Movember Foundation has created a program based on the research that is funded by the donations that people, like me, have been raising over the years. This program is called Breaking The Ice. It is a multi-layered program that uses hockey to teach athletes, parents and coaches how to talk about mental health. The program gives insights to the participants by educating them on how to recognize mental health issues, what to do and when to get help. It also teaches the players how build resiliency and overcome the challenges in hockey and life.

This program works for multiple reasons, such as engaging the entirety of the sporting organization as a way to improve mental health and resilience of our young players. The proportion of mental health problems among adolescents is strikingly high. Young men and boys represent a group that is at a high risk of developing mental health problems. With lower rates of accessing services in comparison to young women, this risk is increasing still.

This program is ran at the rink on days where practice is already scheduled and consists of a one hour program for the athletes, parents and coaches all held on the same day. Additionally, roughly a week after the first session, there is a 2nd workshop for the athletes.

Having all aspects of a team engage in these workshops, which includes the coaches and parents, can give our young athletes a solid support network and provides with the ability to be a part of their teammates support network.

For more information and to contact the program, visit the website breakingtheice.ca and be a part of creating a resilient and informed young athlete group.
