As time goes on I get increasingly more annoyed with parties. I get sick of the alcohol, the smoking. I think I'm getting more closeminded as time passes as well. I've been straight edge for 8 years or so now, woohoo go me. No one even cares about these things anymore. I never did it to find a sense of belonging or to be in some sort of clique. 99

It has been too long! How have you been? I'm doing fine it's just that sometimes things get to me more often than not. I'm working again and have a wonderful girlfriend ontop of being in 2 bands now.

though i cannot relate to your struggles in the latter of the post, i know all to well your feelings in regards to the first paragraph. i have 7 years of being straightedge under my belt, woohoo. right. i know exactly what you mean. I have come to terms with the fact that i care more about a persons heart and mind rather than petty choices they make in their day to day lives. parties sicken me for the sheer fact that more productive things could be done or experienced.

we old kids need to be strong, and i don't mean that as "hardcore pride" or anything, but just strong in our convictions. be proud, but not to prideful, and be caring, but not to overreaching, and give acceptance, not judgment. Use our past to overcome our future, and lay building blocks down for future generations. If you look in your heart, you will know what i mean.
