David Lynch Changed My Life

I don’t know if anyone else has gone through the same experience, but David Lynch and his art really changed my life once I discovered him.

I was in my early 20s and addicted to drugs. I stumbled across his films and fell in love with them, specifically lost highway and twin peaks.

Eventually, i found his book Catching the Big Fish, and it opened my eyes to meditation and creativity and a lot of new concepts. I started meditating in hopes of beating the addiction, and while I didn’t beat it initially, it was the act of trying to change myself for the positive that set me on the right path.

That was the first step in a journey that got me clean and sober. And for that I’ll always cherish this man’s work and art till I die.

I hope we see a new film or something from him soon, I know he is ill and can’t leave the house much as i’ve read. But it is good to hear he is still creating and doing what he loves.

If anyone has similar experiences with David’s art, i would love to hear your story/stories in the comments.
