Yeah, that too.
To everyone out there: Don't do drugs or drink a lot, all it does is poison your mind, bury your future, and destroy any hopes you might have had. No matter how much despair and hopelessness consumes the world around you, never turn to a pill or a bottle to do what love, conviction, and a passion for life are supposed to do.
Never do drugs, look at wildflowers instead. They're much prettier, and rise from their ashes every spring. Drug use and alcoholism is just ash...no want, no love, no life, no warmth, just endless darkness, wandering for another hit, making it through a day looking for another hit just to make it through a day...it isn’t a life, it isn’t the blissful release of death. It’s a nightmare inbetween, each being denied.
I am not an addict, and never was, but I can tell you: Don't do it! You're worth too much to the world to defile yourself. Think of all the emotions: love, pride, affection, that will be gone, replaced by the lust for some chemical.
There are other things to do to pass the time, until things become better. There are people that care. I am one of them, as are many others. Don’t do it, don’t associate with people that do. They aren’t your friends if they want to put their poisons into your veins. Don’t let them.
Sorry, I got a bit swept away, but it is serious, not just a imaginary fear of an ideal world. It is a problem all of us must face, at some point.
But you don’t have to face it alone, that the idea I’m trying to say.
A great way to get girls, guys, significant others, friends, whatever, is to stay clean - in all respects.
(Sorry if that was a bit depressing)
