Some times you have to take breaks from things, and well fucking lj was one of them.
BUT.....
Some times people need to take breaks from themselves/the world. Well thats what I consider I've been doing for year now. I remember when people used to say "Stick close to your friends, because in the end they are all you have." Well let me tell you something, all of that is somewhat in a weird/construed way is bullshit. Because everyone is different(of course) in there own way. Look at hermits for instance, they have maybe a dog and live alone completely happy.(thats the only example if you cant follow your hopeless).
Some people would follow there friends to the end of the earth and back, or fight a losing battle just to be at their sides. I would hands down. I know a lot of people included my self have this flaw. Flaw is the wrong word. Its a very noble thing to be loyal, but loyalty has a price and sometimes a steep one. I'll be loyal to my true friends till the day I die, however, ever one has different reasons for being here. Thats the cross roads I'm at now and so are a lot of other people.
Don't ever feel bad going a different route from your friends. YOU ARE YOU. THEY ARE THEMSELVES.
Now I'm not talking about paths to self destruction here. I am talking about self preservation. Preparing for the rest of YOUR life. Some people believe you have to go everywhere together, thats the bullshit part. Don't think that. You are here to be the best at what you want to do. Don't go and become some mediocre Joe making just enough to get by. Go out and know matter what you want to do, strive to be the best. This generation is slipping and know body seems to care now but, you can bet you last dollar on the hardships to come when we are the ones controlling this country in later years. Get it together people, prepare for your life; or prepare for hardships to come. Because if you think its bad now, wow, we're in for it.
I have found my place in this world and its going to shock people, and could very possibly destroy some relationships, but its what I WANT TO DO. Its a hard road and a long one too. I'm strapping on these shoes and I'm sprinting to the end.
I'll keep my friends close but its time for me to break off and go my own way.
I hope this has helped at least some one, because it helped me.
Much love to you all,
