This is my first actual post for a long time. I realize this, and, believe me, tis very strange. But, I had to write. Last night I saw a documentary on meth, and it was very disturbing. That people would give their lives up for a cheap white powder that steals their soul astounds me! One of the things that moved me the most was the part where they showed before and after pictures. The pictures of the people before depicted these tough "Don't mess with me, won't take shit from no one" men and women. In the after pictures they looked lost, helpless. You could literally see it on their faces; they had given their souls up, had no where to go, they were living this hell they created for themselves. I kept thinking about her. Out of the blue she started smoking pot and drinking. Next thing i know she told me how she stole her mom's narcotic pain killers. Will she stop there? Even if she never has anything to do with meth, God willing, she is wasting her life just like they did. It really upsets me. she could have a fulfilling life, but she has bought into society's cheap meaningless "happiness". I love her so much. I don't always show it, but it hurts me so much. I don't want to see her end up like them. She is not one of them.
