The Only Stranger in This World Is You


A person stands in a vibrant, flower-filled field under a blue sky. Text: "The Only Stranger In This World Is You -Michael Awolf."

Welcome to michaelawolf.com, a space where I paint with words, stories are my canvas, and every stroke is a step closer to unveiling the most profound truth: the only stranger in this world is YOU.

For years, I searched for answers, wrestled with questions, and turned my life into a sharded, colorful mosaic of growth, pain, and discovery. My memoir, Who The Fuck Is You? (WTFIY), isn’t just a book—it’s a launchpad for transformation. It’s a mirror for anyone bold enough to confront their Rougarou reflection, peel back the onion layers, and answer the call of their truest Self.

This site, like my story, is a journey in itself. It’s where I’ll share my work—songs like "The Only Stranger," an anthem born from my battles with identity and connection, and other creative projects that challenge, provoke, and inspire. The blog will dive deeper into the themes of WTFIY, offering glimpses into the stories behind the stories, the moments that shaped the hue-man I am today, and the questions I’m still trying to answer. (Note: As light beings, we reflect the spectrum of experiences—"hue-man" embodies both the light and shadows within us.)


The Stranger Within


When I wrote the line, "The only stranger in this world is you," I was struck by its profound truth. We spend so much time looking outward—seeking validation, chasing dreams, or running from fears—that we forget to look inward. It’s in the quiet spaces of our own minds and hearts that we find not just a stranger, but the thumbprint of who we’re meant to be.


The Sharded Memoir: WTFIY


Book cover with a bearded man's face, cracked pattern, bold text "Who the f*ck is you?" on black background, graffiti-like words surround.

Who The Fuck Is You? is more than a memoir; it’s a treasure map to nowhere—leading within. It’s a map for those navigating life’s storms, identity crises, or simply the chaos of co-existing in a world that demands so much, we must uncondition ourselves. It’s raw, real, and unapologetically me. It’s for anyone willing to sit with their pain, question their past, and trail a path forward.

Through vivid dreams, life-altering epiphanies, and deeply personal experiences, I unpack the journey of becoming. And yes, I do it with humor, grit, and a touch of WTF moments with a little Cajun spice—because, let’s be honest, that’s life.



Michael Awolf: Music, Memoir, and More


Alongside WTFIY, I’ll be sharing songs like "The Only Stranger," a reflection of everything I’ve poured into my creative work. Music has always been my sanctuary, a place where the unspeakable finds a voice. This song—and possibly the name of my podcast—captures the essence of self-discovery, filled to the brim with mocktales: raw, haunting, and ultimately liberating.


Aye, Aye! What’s Next, You Say?


This is just the beginning. Michael Awolf is more than a name—it’s a movement. A call to embrace your humanity, your flaws, your brilliance, and your darkness. Through my book, my music, and my writing, I want to challenge the world to see itself differently. To see you differently. The reflection of You.

Because we are the artist, the main actor, the director, and the producer of our own experience, creating the masterpiece of our own lives.

This marks the first step of a journey we share together, as I unfold my art and invite you to discover your own. You powerful being you.

Stay tuned for updates on WTFIY, my upcoming projects, and the launch of the podcast. Until then, remember: the only stranger in this world is you.

Welcome, my friend,

-Michael
