Life Changer

July 20th, 2010

There is one thing in life for which I have always been slandered and praised for, that being my refusal to ever do drugs. I have been praised because people think that it is through my own strength that I do so. I have been slandered as a coward or a pansy because I do so. I deserve neither the praise nor the slander. But most of all there is the underlying question by all I tell about this. Why not? I hope to answer that for you her. I have seen it completely change people forever. I have lost friends and loved ones because of it. I have seen people lose themselves to it. I've had people I cared about die. So thus I have sworn to never do drugs. I'm not a man to go back on my word. I'm not a man to let those memories of the people I love be sullied by my actions. Now don't misunderstand, I don't mind if you enjoy some recreational activities. But I have seen too many people cross over from just occasionally for fun into true addiction and I refuse to let that happen to myself. If you can handle the fun without the addiction more power to you. If you don't cross the line. Toe the line all you want, but as for myself I'd rather walk in the other direction. So, judge me if you wish. But it is all in memory of people I cared about. I don't stand alone. Just to remind you all that I have a lot of fun, just being me. Though I won't blame or judge you at the same time I can't approve. There is always that slightest chance of addiction. That scares me.
