Life is changing. Its wonderful.

So i've been looking through one of my writing books. I tend to not finish a book before i start another. So i always have to go back and fill it in again...ahhhh. I came across one piece of writing that I remember writing so well. I dont remember why I wrote it. but it is exactly what i need right now. EXACTLY!

Check it out.

When you've lived with addiction, you learn some skills that set you apart. You learn to cover your ass. You learn to keep drugs close for strengthening purposes. You learn to recognize human behaviour. Never shut things off or shut someone out.

Remember human behaviour and know you can't change what we are. human. Recognize what is ours and only ours, and keep the bad from affecting others. Know you can't bring others into your hate, anger or security blanket. Even if they are willing. Its not fair. Its not fair to keep someone close on your own terms. You're only hurting them and in the end your terms wont be met.

Be honest. Show people who you are and who you could be. Good and bad. The ones with love will take that and work with it beside you to overcome or achieve. The ones with fear will push you away not understanding that being human is what makes you who you are. They will also keep you around maybe for a sense of control, for lack of a better word.

The ones with hate will throw you out. No matter how much you love them or they love you. You're not alive to them. No matter if you're a good person. They aren't human. But we're all human;)

be happy with who you are and what you've got. Even if you dont have anything there is a chance you could lose it.

Weird is a term often used to disregard. Forgetting to understand and educate.

Education is key. Life, books, school, death, drugs, hate, love, fear. Are all ways to learn. Learn what you will tolerate and challenge those limits.

Recognize hate and remove it from your actions.

Sharing is caring. Never hide from what you are, who you are or what you've done. Remember other peoples limits, respect and challenge them.

Dont sit by and let people hurt others. Stand up for the ones who nee help and can't help themselves. Its a sad world where people get cast aside. In this world, "Survival of the fittest." be the fittest and help the unfit.

Make goals. Achieve goals. Break goals. Only to figure out you can make more.

Believe in yourself and others. Trust everyone and no one. Except the people that are closest to you that you want to push away. They deserve your trust because they out of anyone have something you need to believe.

Selfishness is good and bad. Find the good and roll with it.

Everything is a contradiction when you understand. Don't not understand. You always know.

We are people and no one is any less important. Race, sex, sexual orientation, age, choices...are not good reasons to project hate and cause even more fear in the world.

Well there you go. Relevant at any point. especially now.


Thanks for writing this long time ago self.
