another thought
I think that I'm going to use katie's live journal entry for my inspiration.
Everyone in the world goes out and does their own thing. There are those that don't leave their house, those that go out at night to the movies or friends houses, and those that go out and party.. and I'm sure there are many more things people can do as well, those are just generals.
Well, not everyone can do the same thing with their time, just like everyone has different opinions about thigns, and everyone is talented at different things. You don't see a ballarina dancing on a soccer field.. SO, just as people respect other people's differences, people need to respect what other people do with their time.
I'm not saying that people should look past and ignore those that go out and get ridiculous, repeatedly. Or those that seem to keep making poor decisions on their part. But, they should in no way begin to feel anger within themesleves for other peoples actions. If it's a friend, they may be sad and upset that so and so is doing this.. but in no way is the world turned upside down because someone is filling their time with something not as praise worthy as just hanging out.
It's good to express concerns, and feel saddened, but feeling anger towards people that are going down a different path is no good. Especiailly if you're content with yourself. You just need to be a steady person that if your friend or whoever is looking to break away from whatever, they can rely on you and know that you'll be there no matter what. Even if you're dissapointed in the decisions they're making. That's what friends are for, someone you can always turn to.
Life is all about learning from things, and from your mistakes you get experience and from exerience you gain knowledge. Sometimes, it takes drastic things to be able to learn and want to move on. I've done a lot of thigns that aren't exactly praise worthy this summer that apparently have made people express concern, and for that I'm sorry. But I don't think anyone should think the world is a messed up place because we all make mistakes and wrong turns in life. There are so many kinds of wrong decisions and mistakes that have nothing to do with drugs, sex, or alcohal.
I know Katie's journal was how she was feeling at the time. But I'm just offering a more wide spread perspective that if you're content with yourself you have nothing to be angry about, except sad for people that aren't at that same level with themselves. But maybe, some of the people that "fuckthemseleves up" are at that place, and that's just what they really want to do with their lives. It's all about perspective and all about the life you - yourselfd live.
Just some thoughts..
