Becoming Frank

By: Frank
  • Summary

  • I'm just a guy who chased a dream and found himself trapped in a nightmare of his own making. By taking a hard look at who I'd become and why, I've begun my journey out of the darkness of the nightmare and into the light of reality. I hope that the damage I've done to myself and the way I've begun repairing it can help others to do the same.

  • Episode #12 - Addendum, A Glance over 2021
    Dec 27 2021

    OK, so I lied. Episode 11 was not the end of the season. Well, it was so I call this an Addendum so as to try to assuage my guilt of fibbing. But it wasn'...

    Anyway, there is good reason for the end of the year episode. LIFE IS GOOD! 

    I gotta believe that the past year of Becoming Frank has definitely helped me to become, well, me again!

    I started the year with anger issues, endured bouts of suicidal darkness through the year and have emerged, through discussing my stuff, in a good place. I'm in a good relationship with a great woman, got a new job paying me decent wages in the field I'm skilled in. and am generally, pretty friggin' content.

    Now, I'm no fool so I know the depression will come and go and the demons are always waiting right under the surface for us to slip so they can take over again, but I know that as long as we shine the light, the demons are not so scary and we can banish them forever.

  • Final Episode - Repressed Memories, Moving Forward, Shining Bright
    Oct 27 2021

    This is probably the final episode of Becoming Frank. It was a great learning experience. Putting the podcast together, publishing it, finding out that some people actually did listen. All good. 

    This final episode deals with discovering a long ago incident that I had repressed. One that quite honestly had to have shaped the entire way I lived my life up to this point, but that won't define me going forward. Also touches upon my To / For philosophy that gets tested by the event from the past. And finally, reminds me and you that we are the light that shines out in the world. We aren't always burning brightly but we are always capable of it. 

    Sometimes we need the darkness to see the light within us.

  • Being Alone, Beacon of Light vs Blackhole of Negativity, Missing Mom
    Sep 29 2021

    This episode is a bit rambling but I touch upon a few things that have been rattling around in my brain.

    How being alone is ok as long as we use the time to work on ourselves, rediscovering our beacons of light and resisting the blackholes of negativity that try to steal it. Missing talking to my mom now that I have these repressed memories coming back in my sobriety.
