on my 26th birthday, i wrote I Took A Pill in Ibiza…10 years ago. The song became popular several years after i wrote it. Yesterday i celebrated my 36th birthday. i feel proud to look at the song lyrics and know that NONE of them are true anymore. I’ve grown into a completely new man…one that i’m proud of. check this out… 🧵
26:I took a pill in Ibiza to show Avicii I was cool and when I finally got sober, felt 10 years older, but fuck it, it was something to do 36: i love myself more than ever, no longer do shit that harms my body to try to get people to like me
26: I'm living out in LA, I drive a sports car just to prove I'm a real big baller 'cause I made a million dollars and I spend it on girls and shoes 36: donated massive jordan collection, drive 4runner, don’t need to prove anything to anyone other than God, love myself. If i buy
26: But you don't wanna be high like me Never really knowing why like me You don't ever wanna step off that roller coaster and be all alone 36: not even close to alone. spent a decade creating a community of the most loving high powered friends in the world. massive investment
26: You don't wanna ride the bus like this Never knowing who to trust like this You don't wanna be stuck up on that stage singing All I know are sad songs, sad songs 36: i am the happiest i have ever been in my life and have sustained faith love and joy mindset for over a year
26: I'm just a singer who already blew his shot I get along with old timers 'Cause my name's a reminder of a pop song people forgot 36: walked across america, climbed everest, became inspiring to myself first, as a byproduct became inspiring to others.
26: And I can't keep a girl, no 'Cause as soon as the sun comes up I cut 'em all loose and work's my excuse But the truth is I can't open up 36: overcame my fear of intimacy and old avoidant patterns, face deep pain of last relationship’s ending head on, recognized what patterns
26: All I know are sad songs, sad songs 36: i know sadness and pain very well, i also know how i overcame/overcome it. it is my duty to teach others to do the same. I know sad songs, but i also know redemptions songs, songs of freedom, songs of faith, and songs of devotion
i love you. If you’re going through shit right now, keep going, you have no idea how good your life may be in 10 years. in gratitude, mp
