It's only 40 miles down some road before you can run away from everything.

After doing some thinking and talking with friends, I've decided to make a positive change in life. Maybe the reason that I would get such varying degrees in my moods was because of the things that I was doing to my body. Pot and alcohol are fun things to mess around with, but after awhile, you just get sick of it. You reach a point where you want ( Read more... )

sober or drunk....there is still no universal meaning to life. all anyone knows for sure is that we live and then we die. life is preparation for death. hate to say it so harshly but its true. the only thing that is perfect is existence itself because you cant exist wrong. do whatever you want, drink or not drink, smoke or not smoke, you have the decision and you get to create memories that no one can take from you. do whatever you can with what youve got and your life can have "fake" meaning at least.

This wasn't really a post about the meaning of life. It was more of a new direction for me to go in. I had so much going on through my mind and didn't really put all of what I was thinking down. When I said meaning, it was really along the lines of new patterns of thinking. Giving me something new to ponder and to discover. I didn't think that drinking or smoking was going to give me answers.. just get me to start asking questions. Sometimes it did and other times it didn't. But I had realized something this weekend.. I didn't need to be around alcohol or pot to get into these patterns of thinking.. I just needed people.

you cant go in a new direction because you dont drink. you have never been an alcoholic, you werent drunk all day everyday. your life will not be much different unless you make changes that motivate you to do something with you life. im not even fighting this because i advocate drinking but just because you dont drink doesnt mean you will all of a sudden be guided and follow a new direction. you are very young, i know many people who drank often as young adults and eventually grew out of it and became very successful. My father being one of them along with just about every college/business man ive ever met.the alcohol didnt help them but it let them have fun times and be stupid and make mistakes so they wont make them when they matter more. alcohol and new patterents of thinking have nothing to do with each other. you have time to think about whatever you want every second of the day. You still have much to learn and i hope you do become successful with whatever you aspire to do. the biggest thing about not drinking is health man, not ( ... )

I do think that there will be positive changes with cutting back. I don't think that I'm going to quit but I'm at least going to slow down. Drinking and drugs became more important than being honest with my family. That's just some of the patterns that I was talking about. I'm going to be more honest now with my family because I won't have to lie and say that I'm going to go see a movie or some shit. Remaining even more honest is going to cause me to lead my life into a new direction, not just cutting out the alcohol.

thats awesome that you want to at least try to be sober for like a month. you are a great person and truly dont need these substances to help you with your social life. ive cut down on the drinking as well, and ya being in a sorority and living here at college, it gets a bit dull, but once you do it you will feel better for yourself. i miss you.

p.s. you really should invest your time into writing. your nature with words is very poetic and obviously lots of your friends enjoy reading your wisdomic words. really look into if. you are such a gifted writer. <3 love ya!
