You know, I've seen a lot. My friends have gone through a lot of stuff over the years. Love, relationships, mairrages, babies, being kicked out, drug abuse, alcoholism, break ups, divorces, more children, more alcoholism, more drug abuse, physical abuse, rape, self abuse... but lately it seems like things have been taking a small turn for the better.
I've seen more people fall in love lately than out of love. I've seen more people trying to get help for their problems or start talking about their problems. I've seen more people trying to do something with their lives than just sitting there thinking about it.
It's really nice to see that some things are going good. Some of my friends are changing the way they act because they're sick of being mean, some are changing the way they think because they're sick of being unhappy. Some are trying to get jobs because they're sick of being poor. Some are trying to clean up their alcohol and/or drug abuse.
I've noticed a lot lately that anything really is possible if you put your mind to it. Half the battle is just admitting a problem. The other half is getting help. If you can't do it on your own, look for your true friends. They'll give you the help you need or find it for you. You don't have to do things alone. You're never alone. People always care about you. That's what I've learned.
It's not really a lesson you can hear and beleive. It's something I've been watching unfold before my eyes lately. The last couple of months through this economic depression people have started focusing on themselves lately and I think it's really a good turn. Everything happens for a reason, your horrible worst nightmare can be a blessing in disguse, you just need to know where to look.
