I'm so tired of this. I'm fucking tired of hearing people say that alcohol or weed or whatever the fuck it is will make them happy. It won't. Yeah drink to have fun, we're teenagers okay whatever just don't be stupid about it and don't get in a fuckin car. This isn't for just one person it's for a lot of people, some of who will never even see or read this.
It's when you start to drink to make yourself feel better that it's a problem. There is no way that drinking makes your problems go away. No way. You get sober and boom the problems are still fuckin there... and in reality they stay for longer because you don't fuckin deal with them. What you might think is the "easy way out" just gets you stuck IN your problems. The only way out is to fuckin deal with them like a mature person instead of running away.
There is a fine line I have in my opinion of alcohol and its appropriateness. If it's to have fun then why the hell not it's your own life do what you want. But I in no way agree with it if it's to use as an excuse or to run away from your problems. You can't just say something when you are drunk one night and the next morning be like "oh yeah I didn't really mean that I was drunk my bad". I have had TOO many people do that to me. Everyone fucking knows that you don't lie when you're drunk. I don't care what anyone says. Alcohol impairs your judgement. It impairs your ability to think straight. If you are hiding something from someone or you have had something on your mind the past couple days it comes out whether people are ready to hear it or not. The things that someone says to someone else sometimes really leave marks, and bad ones. I mean honestly, I think by now we all realize that whoever said words can never hurt you must have been on crack when he said it. It's not fair to whoever's feelings you hurt to the next morning just be like "oh I was drunk my bad". And trust me I know that first hand from more than one person.
My issues with Drinking to run away from your problems comes from a few different things in my life. People VERY close to me... in my direct family, some of my best friends, myself? K sweet. Anyways all those people have had hard times to deal with whether it be divorce, poverty, deaths, boys, girls, depression.. whatever. They all have thought drinking is gonna make it all go away. That alcohol is some magical formula that makes you forget and move on. Yeah for a couple hours maybe. But when you wake up the next morning with a major hangover are all your problems gone? No.. still there. Like honestly you can't fix life by avoiding it. As much as I and everyone else wishes it did, the world doesn't fucking work like that. And I think it's time to wake up and realize that.
Honestly people, most of us are either already out of the house or seriously getting very fucking close to it. Just fucking grow up and learn to deal with the problems in your life whether all that means is talkin about it or getting help just learn to deal with them, because running away just adds more pressure to deal with them which never ends up happening if you avoid them too much. If that made any sense at all. That's all I'm saying. I'm worried about more than one person right now and it's my fucking God given right to love my friends and family enough to worry when I think there's a problem. And I still love you all to death, I just don't want to go through the stuff I've already been through or let you make mistakes that will ruin your life. As much as I can't control anyone, I can damn well give my input and there it is.
