when people choose to waste their lives
does it ever sadden you...?
when you see people falling into the cracks of obscurity? when you see them waste their lives. thinking that drugs are a way of life, rather then a hobby. when you see their lives spiraling downards... and they just tell people, atleast I'm moving forward... It just hurts me inside when I see people who would rather live a life masked with drugs and a false sense of happiness. When they don't want to become anything, just something that rots in the darkness. and they nurture their pain, rather then searching for a solution. I sometimes can't understand when people no longer have the will to live... I remember this quote... from a long time ago. when I felt I was dying inside. The greatest tragedy is not the end of a life well lived, but in the lives lost while still living. - Sean Philips

yeah.. i know what you mean.. i've had my share of fuck ups and mistakes but i accept the responsibilities that came with it and made it a point to learn from them...
I don't know where exactly I want to be i my life yet, but i know that I will, and that I would't allow myself to waste a way my life the way I see that other people do... If they're happy with it... then I guess there isn't anything I could say, but really... iono. There are people who waste their lives away, not just by drugs.. sometimes they are overachievers and keep striving for higher goals thinking that success always means happiness... But in the end it doesn't work out that way... yea. i know wut ur sayin.

it doesn't hafta just be from drugs either... i've been wrecking myself emotionally trying to help someone i love dearly, who's suffering from debilitating depression. she's had drug issues in the past, but now she's really sick, and as hard as i try there doesn't seem to be anything i can do to help her, because she hides from me & the rest of humanity. this is someone who was once one of the most intense and alive people i knew, she had a smile that could light up a whole room (to use the old cliche).
when we do talk, she tells me that this illness is destroying her, and that she feels completely lost and helpless in this world. yet she refuses to accept any kind of help or support from me or any of her former friends, many of whom have given up on her.

everyone will have to overcome hardships in their life and for most cases, stupidity and poor priorotizing of important things in life lead to hardships. drugs are always a tempting thing to try but in the end, its your choice whether to do em or not. i'm still young and Sherwood definetly is the wiser, more experienced person for a topic like this, but i can honestly say i've had serious downers in my life and have had friends who've slipped and never really came up again. but in the end, we all go through troubles no matter how serious they are and the rewarding feeling of suckin it up and overcoming the hardships can only make you stronger as a person. i'm not saying its all that simple it takes months, even years to regain some self confidence and most of all respect in yourself once you've slipped.... but its life. we learn new things all the time dont we.

a lot of people choose to do drugs because they never had a life [to waste] in the first place.
personally i don't see my life wasted in any way after going through several phases and encounters with drugs. i think if anything, i've grown to be a stronger and more aware human being. i've come to realizations with my life and the world around me, i've explored the depths of what could only be aknowledged as my 'true self', i've seen wonders of the earth without even leaving my bedroom, and i've travelled through time on various occasions @_@ . my body may be depleted, but at least i put it to use. i'd say ones life is more wasted by following a utopian sociological structure, becoming a robot enslaved to mass produce, reproduce, and consume to benefit the greater of society, rather than dropping a cap of E or munchin' on some mush and frying some brain cells. the way i see it is; someone outside of the big picture is watching me and counting the dollar signs on each and every brain cell i possess. and when i make the choice to rid of such cells, it becomes socially unacceptable because i am no longer of as much value to the one trying to profit off my worth. the man behind Society Incorporated. kiss my ass.

I think people are failing to see the real difference between a phase (a 'bump in the road' of sorts) and a lifestyle choice.
People come out of a phase gaining life experience, and hopefully as a result, wiser, with a new attitude towards living life. It gets sad when it takes the people we care about the most take a long time to come out of this phase. A lifestyle choice of drugs is truly something people dig themselves into, and it is extremely sad to see. Can't many of us relate to the kind of ambivalence we feel towards the people we see on hastings street, where it's a sort of circus of the living dead? It's easy to feel extremely sad for these people, you wonder what brought them there, or you think of them all as being children once...then again, you're angry at yourself for feeling pitty because most people are capable of helping themselves, but sadly most choose not to. i dunno... on a less extreme level (to cite an example), I find it really sad to engage in a conversation with someone who has been so engulfed in jib that they can't even form a coherent sentence..

^sometimes the truth hurts and there's no nice way to tell someone...sometimes all we need is harsh words from someone who cares to really give us a wake up call..
(not that I know if you are, infact wasting your life...but that may be the case sometimes..)
