the edge is gone....

This is a personal statement on how i want you to know why im not straight edge anymore! Many people are gonna be offended and i dont even know why. I believe straight edge is a personal commitment, a bond you do with yourself, a personal choice.
Ive seen alot of people come and go in between the years, i made fun, i criticized, and i never thought i was gonna be the one walking through that door in the end.
The thing is that i still love straight edge, hardcore and everything. I ve been straight edge for a while and i was just seeing so many things all around i did not agreed with. Straight edge has become something different from what i used to know.... lots of people take the name in the wrong ways and they dont do it for the substance its supposed to be done. FIrstly when i went to Guatemala back in december 09 i was so dissapointed when a group of "straight edge" kids beat up my friends. (2 of them had broken noses and had to get operated inmediately), seeing what i have seen grown, with effort, energy, happiness, sadness, and whatever was being destroyed. Not to say the least when i got to barcelona i never felt welcomed in the str8 edge scene.....
I was looking at a constant elite being created, how if you werent into the "bands" , if you werent wearing what you had to wear, and following a movement!
im tired of this, tired of not being an individual..... yes, its a positive choice (the best you can make) but i guess my ride has come to an end.
If this actually brings a barrier between you and me im sad to see it..
im only human as anyone else, and this is my choice.
I havent been straight edge for a while, but i thought i had to comment on it for those who did not know!
thanks for all the memories sxe
you will always be in my heart!
peace out

  1. Vato, no tienes que demostrar nada a nadie, ni siquiera a ti mismo. Con tal de que sigas molando tanto, ya llega y sobra.
    Tienes todo el derecho a acertar, equivocarte, volver a acertar... y así toda una vida. Ser dogmático es poco práctico y doloroso. Be water, seguro que se te da bien.

  2. Mi querido Diego:
    Sabes, yo en verdad sentí lo mismo desde hace muchos años aquí en la escena Mexicana. Decidí alejarme de todo y de much@s debido a mucha de la ignorancia que hay dentro del straight edge. La verdad es que sigo siendo Drug Free, y aunque ahora veo a decenas y decenas de chic@s usando "x" en las manos, o tatuándose referentes al SXE, me dá mucha tristeza verlos después de algunos meses bebiendo y buscando peleas con quienes no "simpatizan" con su estilo de vida. Estoy contigo, verdaderamente te entiendo y creeme, solo algun@s sobrevivimos con nuestra mente clara y libre. Te mando un fuerte abrazo!
