"Yes, it is true that life has moments of suffering and misery, times of trial and stress. Yet if you weather these storms like an ancient tree, you will find that Life holds satisfactions that more than compensate you for the pain and sorrow."
"You can no more cling to the bright side of your days than the sun can linger in the sky all 24 hours. But sorrow passes, misery lifts. You will again find satisfaction and value in the activities and people who bring you joy. And if it seems that your stars have all gone out, and your night is filled with clouds of despair, remember there is a star within that will never go out-Hope."
I've been looking at drugs completely differently. comPLETELY. I've slowly come to understand my own habits and motivations for altering my body chemistry, whether it's just a drink after work or a major binge on other substances. I think the DARE program should go to fucking HELL (along with some other organizations) for warping kids' views of drugs and not informing them of any of the facts.
If drugs weren't so illegal and such a big deal, people would concentrate on what's really going on and look at the person, not just the drug. I don't know. I'm just upset that I got caught up in thinking about it in a certain way, but I had to go through that.
