			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m sick and tired of trying to initiate contact with people that &#8220;love&#8221; me so much&#8230;but getting no response. But when they see me in person&#8230;oh, it&#8217;s all hugs and concern and &#8220;i miss you so much&#8221;&#8230;</p>
<p>Well, if you miss me so much, would a call everyone once in while be so hard? Or would a response to my text be so difficult? I don&#8217;t think so. I also don&#8217;t buy that you&#8217;re too busy, because while I have a busy life too&#8230;I could take a whole 5 mins out of my day once every 2 weeks to atleast say hello. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>On a better note&#8230;the baby is going to be here sooo soon!! I&#8217;m 32 weeks and 1 day today. I feel like i&#8217;ll POP any day now! It&#8217;s been a pain in my ass and I never want to do it again..but i&#8217;m so excited.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8230;that I use this site to vent more than anything. lol.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Today was a pretty good day overall. Got up early, went to breakfast, did this and that with a couple of friends and had a pretty awesome time. I love days like that because it seems like everyone can just take a break from whatever it is that has been bothering them for the past few days, weeks, months&#8230;or however long. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I hate it when people from the past get brought up in conversation in a not so flattering light and when i&#8217;m in a not so flattering mood. Sometimes it just ruins the whole day. For one reason or another my attention was brought to a certain group of people that have really disgusted and hurt me over time. Which, i&#8217;m sure i&#8217;ve done the same to them, in a sense&#8230;but definitely not to the same extreme. There are times when this group crosses my mind, and i&#8217;m at peace and I WANT to feel peaceful and friendly and embrace some type of positivity&#8230;but there are other times when I think of bad memories and my heart and mind is filled with nothing but betrayal and disgust and I just wish I could have my way and put those same thoughts in everyone else&#8217;s mind. Selfish, I know. But this is also my blog and I can say whatever I want to in it. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I want to believe people, I want to trust people and surround myself with those I consider &#8220;friends&#8221;&#8230;but at this point there are so few if any I can really call &#8220;friends&#8221;&#8230;for one reason or another, the paranoia of someone back-stabbing me is almost always there and I trust no one. So i&#8217;ll cling to myself and that&#8217;s all I feel like I have. But this is something that comes and goes. Maybe next week will be completely different, for the better or the worse&#8230;eh&#8230;who knows.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I haven&#8217;t slept in forever. I&#8217;m dead tired. Maybe my thoughts aren&#8217;t even making sense and I just need to type this to feel better or to feel a type of release. Oh well..for now, i&#8217;m going to remain as happy as I can.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Peace. ^.^</p>

<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Just a letter I typed out to someone that made me feel 75907485032039847 times better. </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I&#8217;m going to be very straight-up with you.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s no justification for making a comment like that to me.<br />
I don&#8217;t care how &#8220;hurt&#8221; you were. Especially<br />
since I AM NOT THE ONE WHO MADE THAT COMMENT TO YOU ABOUT YOU BEING DISHONEST. (persons name) was. (not that I disagree with him)</p>
<p>(persons name) was not at all harsh to you. He NEVER called you a &#8220;psyco liar&#8221;&#8230;<br />
The only thing he said was that you had a history of being dishonest <br />
to people. He was just being straight-up with you, but also respecting<br />
you out of wanting to HELP you. And for you to make a comment like that to ME about MY daughter? That&#8217;s unforgivable and it crosses the line.</p>
<p>I also don&#8217;t care if you meant it or not. <br />
What is said, is said. </p>
<p>I don&#8217;t buy into any bs you try to feed me.<br />
I don&#8217;t believe what you say when you try<br />
to victimize yourself. You may have had <br />
some really tough problems, but I believe<br />
that you&#8217;ve made half up them up. Your stories<br />
don&#8217;t match from person to person and you do<br />
have a history of exaggerating. You also have<br />
had the potential to be a great, and strong person<br />
with the things you&#8217;ve been through.<br />
However, you&#8217;ve brought all of this recent pain upon <br />
yourself with your conscious decisions. </p>
<p>You&#8217;re smart enough to know NOW what decisions to<br />
make and what decisions not to make. You can&#8217;t<br />
justify them with &#8220;oh I have a bad past&#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p>I have a bad past too. I had problems, but I <br />
stopped making excuses for myself and overcame <br />
them. I never &#8220;got back&#8221; at anyone because I <br />
wanted to make them as miserable as I was.<br />
And godforbid, I would never wish bad<br />
things upon an unborn child. </p>
<p>I can tell you right now, you will not get<br />
the honor of meeting mine.</p>
<p>Crying won&#8217;t fix the messes you&#8217;ve made with <br />
eveyone in your life. Feeling sorry for yourself<br />
won&#8217;t either. You need to take some time to <br />
yourself, for a long time, stop lying to yourself, <br />
stop playing the victim, and MAYBE&#8230;just maybe <br />
you will be able to salvage some of the friendships<br />
you&#8217;ve had but that&#8217;s very unlikely.</p>
<p>I can speak for everyone when I say people don&#8217;t trust you.<br />
I don&#8217;t trust you.</p>
<p>I also don&#8217;t care that you feel like &#8220;people<br />
only wanted to hang with you when there was<br />
noone else, or only because you have money&#8221;&#8230;<br />
Because while that may have been the case with <br />
SOME PEOPLE, it&#8217;s not the case with everyone. <br />
And it certainly was not the case with me, because<br />
MORE THAN HALF THE TIME, YOU OFFERED YOURSELF.<br />
Is that me using you? No. </p>
<p>I tried for a long time to let go of things that you<br />
did and said and try to help you and be there for<br />
you, and so did (persons name). So you can&#8217;t say &#8220;noone was there<br />
for you.&#8221; Because there are people that do (did) care.<br />
(persons name) called me at 7 in the morning and asked me<br />
to get touch with you and make sure you were alright<br />
when she thought you may have hurt yourself. (persons name)<br />
and I BOTH called you to make sure you were alright.<br />
And if you haddn&#8217;t picked up, we were trying to find<br />
out where you lived, to make sure you were alright.<br />
So don&#8217;t feed us that bs and say that nobody cared.<br />
People did care. More than you even deserved.</p>
<p>I also tried on many occasions to have you over, talk <br />
to you if needed, and I CONSTANTLY reminded you<br />
that if you needed anyone to CALL.<br />
If you ever made plans with me, they were brief, and <br />
then once the time came that we were suppose <br />
to meet, I didn&#8217;t hear from you. You knew people <br />
wanted to help you. You just didn&#8217;t want those certain <br />
people to help you. The only person you WANT to <br />
&#8220;help&#8221; you is (persons name), because you&#8217;re dependent on him.<br />
You&#8217;re upset because HE isn&#8217;t there. Not everyone else.</p>
<p>I will not be speaking to<br />
you anymore. If I ever do again, it won&#8217;t be for a long time.<br />
I hope you straighten out your life. <br />
But for now, I have no desire to keep in contact.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So, pretty much..it&#8217;s just another day of  me sitting here at my relatively &#8221;new&#8217; home with my new life stuck doing&#8230;well nothing. It&#8217;s really peaceful today because the other family that lives here is off doing something. So i&#8217;m stuck here to think about my life and my future and the number of paths I could take. Overall, the past year or so (the year i&#8217;ve been with my husband) has been the best year of my life. But lately I feel like i&#8217;ve fallen into this depression that seems to go away one day and come back the next. I&#8217;m not always sure if it&#8217;s pregnancy just toying with my emotions or if i&#8217;m ever having regrets. On a conscious level, I have NO regrets with how things are now. I&#8217;m very much in love. I wouldn&#8217;t take back my baby, and I would, at this point, give my life to make sure she is safe, healthy, loved&#8230;etc&#8230;But sometimes, I still think about things from my past, people from my past&#8230;and there are those who mean absolutely nothing to me. But there are also those who I feel like for one reason or another, i&#8217;ll always be attached to. Weather it&#8217;s the person who I first experienced drugs with, or the person who has my virginity&#8230;something, weather I want it or not &#8230;with always bring the thought of that person. I can go months without being bothered or even caring, being so sucked into my new life&#8230;but then, I hear their name, or get reminded of a past event and then I just wonder what is going on in their lives. Do they even think of me? Are they happy with what is coming of them? Blah blah blah. It almost makes me feel guilty. I think to myself, &#8220;well I must not be really happy with my relationship if i&#8217;m still thinking about this and that from my past&#8230;&#8221;&#8230;I don&#8217;t always think that&#8217;s true. Maybe it&#8217;s natural. Maybe it&#8217;s just human, and everyone who claims they feel otherwise is just holding their thoughts in to put on a front. </p>
<p>Sigh.</p>
<p>This is just me unloading. Hopefully now I can go on with my day and not have a care in world. That sounds pretty much amazing right now. ^.^</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is something I wrote about in 2007 when I was going through a really rough time in my life. I had a brief problem with drugs and a &#8220;borderline personality&#8221; (according to a number of therapist and other specialist I saw)   I wrote it all over a period of months&#8230;some of it doesn&#8217;t mean anything to me anymore&#8230;but much of it does. I&#8217;m so proud of what i&#8217;ve overcome. Sometimes I almost feel like none of this ever happened because I tried my best to let go of all of those memories, and sometimes reading back on these things embarrass me. But sometimes the hurt is still there.</p>

<p>To err is human, to forgive, divine&#8230;<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />Category: Life<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /> <br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /> <br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />Can you imagine your whole life being all about the worst thing you ever did?<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /> <br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />Before I start writing about everything in this blog..i&#8217;m just going to<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />say that I know it jumps all around[That's why I will try to categorize everything]&#8230;It will not all make sense&#8230;<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />and if anything&#8230;please don&#8217;t judge the things I say&#8230;<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /> <br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />Some may find this to be disturbing. So, if there are things<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />about my life and thoughts in my head that you would rather not<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />hear&#8230;then I suggest you don&#8217;t read this. This is every thought<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />I can think to put down, in writing. Nothing hidden. By reading<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />this&#8230;you will probably learn something new about me. I want<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />to be open to each and every one of you&#8230;.So you can know me<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />for me. I&#8217;m no longer scared of not being&#8230;100% myself.<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />Because I realize now that if someone is going to stick by me for me&#8230;Then those are the people I want in my life.<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />&lt;3<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /> <br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />Thoughts/Feelings at their worst&#8230;<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />It takes a toll on my mind and body. It makes my heart shrink, then<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />shrivel. I can&#8217;t think, or breathe properly and my eyes blink 20<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />times in 10 seconds. I&#8217;m out of touch with reality. My thoughts<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />are illogical&#8230;my sense of time is gone and my explanation of how<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />I feel makes no sense whatsoever. I&#8217;ll neglect my appearance; it&#8217;s<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />hard to speak clearly&#8230;and still&#8230;i&#8217;m not making sense to anyone.<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />I think this is what feeling insane is like. I can&#8217;t remember anything.<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />I try to concentrate, but I can&#8217;t. I can&#8217;t control expressions, the<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />blinking turns into twitching, and convulsions. And my arms feel like<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />i&#8217;ve been carring 40lb weights all day&#8230;and now they&#8217;re numb. I&#8217;m<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />telling myself how much I fucking hate myself. I want to just calm the fuck<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />down. But this overwhelming pain is what&#8217;s in control now. All of my<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />energy is gone, and now this rush of adreneline is the only thing<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />keeping my body awake. Maybe it&#8217;s just my body&#8217;s way of fasly<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />experiencing that of what the drugs did to me. It seems to be somewhat<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />of a popular quote these days&#8230;.But I know that&#8230;. &#8220;I don&#8217;t like the drugs,<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />but the drugs like me&#8230;&#8221;&#8230;My rational mind is at rest, and emotions run<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />haywire. Fear, Paranoia, <span style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;">Frustration</span>, Pain, Guilt, Denial&#8230;that<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />need for acceptance. &#8230;.These intense emotions run the show. And at<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />this point in time&#8230;I don&#8217;t give a fuck. I don&#8217;t give a fuck<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />about anything. It&#8217;s not that I chose to. But everything that is<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />important to me&#8230;I just cannot grasp it. It&#8217;s almost like my heart<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />is in a coma. It&#8217;s still there, but it&#8217;s not out in the open. It&#8217;s<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />not in my concious mind. I feel so overtaken, so gone, so lost.<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />This is why I turned to drugs. That, and curiosity. To fit in<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />with people I idolized. And I don&#8217;t even know why. I was a wreck<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />even before the drugs. But now, these negative feelings are magnified<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />to a level that is worse&#8230;much worse. And unbearable.<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /> <br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />What lead up to everything?<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /> <br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />- Before the drugs&#8230;<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />Anyone who knew me slightly could see that a part of me had been<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />scarred. I&#8217;ve never been open about particulars&#8230;and while everyone<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />has their own story&#8230;it&#8217;s hard for me to even function properly at times. I made<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />wonderful friends. I had the most amazing light in my life. The one<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />person I loved more than anything. But there was still, and always<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />will be the issues of everyday life&#8230;and the memories of him. And<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />so many others&#8230;<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />&#8230;.I still remember his voice. It stays with me. It&#8217;s frightening.<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />I remember it so vaugly, but so clearly at the same time. The sound<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />of hie voice..those simple words. I was so young. And the memories<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />make me cringe. That shivery touch gives me the biggest sense of<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />nausea, weakness, and overall fear of men, people, and life in<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />general. There tends to be a constant of knowing, and remembering of<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />things that have happend. I can&#8217;t change it. No matter how much<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />I want to. It doesn&#8217;t leave me alone.<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />(If you don&#8217;t know me too well&#8230;then this probably won&#8217;t make<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />sense to you.)<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />- After the drugs&#8230;<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />They made me feel better. Like everything was going to be ok. I lost my faith to something that doesn&#8217;t even exist. But after that short amount of time I created a new series of &#8220;pain&#8221; for myself. The victim became the abuser. It wasn&#8217;t just drugs that I abused. It was everything I had. My friends, my family,<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />my best friend, and the one person I wanted to grow up with.<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />The last time I did it, I thought I was going to die. It was<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />stronger than anything from before. Even strong to the people<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />who had been using it for years&#8230;I could not feel a thing.<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />Never had it been so pure&#8230;and I had no sense of time. I<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />was scared&#8230;even if it wasn&#8217;t shown. My body was too small<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />and fragile to handle it&#8230;but eventually I started to calm down.<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />God knows I wanted to stop&#8230;but eventually&#8230;after the rush was done and over with&#8230;that&#8217;s when I realized, I knew&#8230;no more.<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />I couldn&#8217;t do this anymore. And although I was aware of this&#8230;I couldn&#8217;t.<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />Getting &#8220;caught&#8221; was the best thing that could have ever happened to me.<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /> <br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />The Aftermath<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />When all of this is over&#8230;I am left with so much<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />confusion. I don&#8217;t know weather or not I should<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />let go of the good memories, or fight for more. I&#8217;m<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />so fucking confused. I have this physical attachment<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />to you&#8230;and I want you back right then and there&#8230;.<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />I can&#8217;t separate what&#8217;s real and what&#8217;s not in my head&#8230;.Who cares<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />for me&#8230;and who doesn&#8217;t. I need to scream. I get these<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />sickening thoughts in my head that seem so dark and unreal&#8230;<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /> <br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />They&#8217;re sickening thoughts/hallucinations&#8230;but when i&#8217;m feeling<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />different&#8230;mellow or just..lonely&#8230;it&#8217;s like they&#8217;re sexual.<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />I am one for seduction and manipulation. I don&#8217;t even<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />realize it&#8230;a person who has been put in my position in the past<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />can work the angles..and manipulate. It&#8217;s&#8230;strange.<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />And it&#8217;s nothing permiscuous. The sexual feeling is there&#8230;but it&#8217;s all out of longing for you again. And just flat out missing you.<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />I&#8217;m sorry for everything I put any of you through.<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />It&#8217;s all I can say.<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />&#8212; We hit our lows.

I&#8217;ve had my moments. I&#8217;ve done good<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />for the world&#8230;and in many ways I have shown my self.  I&#8217;ve had<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />my sense of accomplishment when you were by my side&#8230;<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />But, still, there is another side to me that once was. A darker<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />side. All disturbing, but confessed&#8230;The only reason I pay<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />any attention to it anymore is because the effects of my<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />mishappenings are still..and always will be in effect.<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />Signs Of Trouble These Days?<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />My past problems became a conflict with everything in<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />my life, my sanity, and the person I loved the most.<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />But I have remained clean and sober from any type of<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />destructive substance with the help of (some) loves ones, counseling,<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />and weekly meetings. Anyone who suggest that I &#8220;need&#8221; help is<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />firmly rebuffed&#8230;.But at this point in my life, I feel I have<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />the self-control and willpower (not to mention my feelings for<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />loved ones are clear to me now) to stay clean.<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />Coping much?<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />I began living life in self-destructive ways at a young age. For what seems like such a long amount of time<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />my behavior was wild, and bizzare. Weather it was experimentation<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />with knives, or just fucked up ways of thinkiing&#8230;it is all<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />calm now. And it&#8217;s over. Nobody changes overnight. But I knew<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />that to be a decent friend, girlfriend, and overall better<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />person&#8230;that nothing about me could be self-destructive or<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />unsure day to day. The two people that meant the most to me<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />inspired me the most to calm down. The person I, at one point<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />in time, considered the love of my life, and my best friend&#8230;.<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />Better known as&#8230;Ian and Lauren. (Neither of you will ever know<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />how much you mean to me. Still, to this day.) It&#8217;s because of<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />the both of you&#8230;When I layed in the hospital bed, and thought<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />about you both when you would listen to me, or when I was struggling<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />through my hard time&#8230;it&#8217;s the look on both of your faces that would<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />make me tear up, yet.. be motivated to change. You two were the main<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />people. But weather it be the loss of other great friends&#8230;even if<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />we never speak again&#8230;it was a build up of knowing I had to change<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />because of why I lost everyone&#8230;.Ian&#8230;Lauren&#8230;and even someone like Jean.<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />I had more caring feelings and respect for her more than most anyone I had ever met. I never always knew why&#8230;but she had a different point of view, and<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />she opened my mind a lot. She, too influenced me that I could never be so<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />fucking selfish and&#8230; dishonest. I no longer have a need for drugs.  <br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />I&#8217;m confident, relaxed&#8230;and in command of my life. A part of me died when<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />I made the decisions I did. When I lost the people I lost.<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />But it&#8217;s all in the past.<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /> <br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /> <br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />What does pain cause us to do?<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />Does it cause us to be different people? I believe that fear of pain forces<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />us to make bad decisions. Or react in ways that can be destructive&#8230;or cause<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />that moment of what feels like insanity. Why does my mind and body react<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />the way it does to fear of pain and abandonment?&#8230;.You have to ask yourself..<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />Do you do the same thing without realization? And does your response get<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />you anywhere? Is it productive?&#8230;.If not, what can you do to make it productive?<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />Should I just talk to you like everything is going to be ok?<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />Or should I just say goodbye? The only thing I know to say<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />is that I do love you. And you have nothing to worry about.<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />Not anymore. The past is real, it will always exist. But never again,<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />will it be repeated.

Especially any two faced fuckers. I know who has said<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />what..and you know who you are aswell. The only reason it bothers<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />me so&#8230;is because when I go through my day and see, or hear this or<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />that&#8230;I don&#8217;t want to care&#8230;but I have mixed feelings and they<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />clash because for some reason&#8230;i care for those people&#8230;.<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />no matter what is said, or what is done. I&#8217;m not claiming to have<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />been anywhere near perfect. And I know I have been guilty of the<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />same thing. But enough is enough. And i&#8217;m tired of all the bullshit.<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />And I won&#8217;t stand for it without running my mouth. It&#8217;s always the<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />same shit. Weather it be comments that are made such as &#8220;Crack Whore&#8221;<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />or weather it be something like &#8220;I all the sudden don&#8217;t like you<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />because you are talking to one of my friends&#8230;it seems like you&#8217;re takinf her away from me&#8221;&#8230;If that wasn&#8217;t fucking<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />selfish as all get out. I mean damn. I don&#8217;t even fucking know. It hurt. It hurt a lot because it was so unexpected. My point<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />is&#8230;that I am tired of it. And I have nothing to hide from anyone. I have<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />no feelings (weather they be positive or negative) to hide from anyone anymore.<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />We&#8217;re all human. We&#8217;re all hypocrites&#8230;but I would rather live my life<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />with those I love and that love me without being brought down&#8230;.or even<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />that feeling of being &#8220;used&#8221; for something. (like money or some shit like that) Like I said&#8230;the fucked up  thing is&#8230;is that even with a lot of those comments being made&#8230;it hurts. But for some reason&#8230;I still repsect and love(most of all miss) pretty much all of you.<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />I&#8217;m stronger than I once was. I will always have my set backs..and my guilt..<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />But I will never be brought down by anyone. Not anymore. Because I know<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />what I do and don&#8217;t deserve. Ahh. I just get confused as shit. Haha.<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /> <br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />___________________________________________________________________<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />This is for him. You know who you are.<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /> <br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />For some reason&#8230;you are still stuck in my head.<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />it doesn&#8217;t matter how much time we have spent apart..<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />or who else it is that we are with. Sometimes my<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />feelings for you freeze. And I can&#8217;t tell weather or<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />not they&#8217;re still there. But, they are. I&#8217;ve learned that.<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />I&#8217;m happy. But at the same time&#8230;really sad. Sad because of the<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />disapointment you and I have both felt since this has been up and<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />down&#8230;on and off. And just, rediculous. I will not go into<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />everything that we have discussed before. But, we are both<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />to blame. But our perception of the past, the present, and<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />the future is both so different. We must both keep an open<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />mind to each others words, and actions&#8230;and always look<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />at intenet rather than pointing out the negatives, dwelling<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />on them&#8230;or acting immature/vengeful/hateful. You should not<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />speak to me the way you do at times. It is not deserved, and it<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />never gets us anywhere. I won&#8217;t stand for it. But realize that<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />I am only trying to help you. <br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />You and I are so alike. But so different at the same time.<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />We click. We have similar interest, and beliefs. I suppose<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />that is why we&#8230;at our best&#8230;are overall, happy.<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />I guess that&#8217;s why we were so happy such a long time ago. It just<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />clicked. I do not always know what is healthy for us. Sometimes<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />it is just time. The time apart is good. But then my deseire, or yours<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />brings us together in one way or another. Sometimes memories of<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />lust and passion cloud my head and confusion comes into play.<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />But there&#8217;s always the &#8216;one more time&#8217;&#8230;or, make up idea..<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />that is accurate, but still&#8230;mysterious. I don&#8217;t know what it<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />means. Still to this day..it&#8217;s a thought and a desire that seems<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />so right&#8230;but then there&#8217;s almost this feeling of guilt. Almost.<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />Weather it&#8217;s our way of dealing with the current situation.<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />I don&#8217;t know. I don&#8217;t think either of us will ever know.<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />But it&#8217;s always on the table.<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />Keep your mind in the present. Keep your mind in the moment.<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />Don&#8217;t suffer in your future because of past events<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />that will never change. Ask yourself what you can do<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />to better the future. Or what would give you happiness.<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />At this point&#8230;It seems like there&#8217;s a really thin line between love and hate.<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />What is love to you now?

Their research indicates that repeated exposure to cocaine causes a change in genes that leads to altered levels of a specific brain protein. This protein regulates the action of a normally occurring brain chemical called dopamine. It is a chemical messenger in the brain associated with the cocaine&#8217;s pleasurable &#8220;rush&#8221;—the mechanism of addiction. Certainly, more research is needed to unlock the mysteries of addiction, but this information adds one more link in explaining how the brain adapts in the addiction process.<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />(source:<a href="http://www.emedicinehealth.com/cocaine_abuse/page2_em.htmCocaine" target="_blank"><span style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;">http://www.emedicinehealth.com/cocaine_abuse/page2_em.htmCocaine</span></a> Abuse Causes)<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /> <br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />It felt weird.

When I lost you&#8230;I lost<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />the part of me that I grew to love&#8230;<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />Why?<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />try to think about what&#8217;s so great about damaging your body<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />in such a harsh, degrading way.<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />It&#8217;s toxic&#8230;and it is bitter.<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />Addiction is nothing to be proud of.<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />It&#8217;s nothing to be glamorized.<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />I did love you. And you were always good enough. And you made me happy.<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />This was torn away from me because i gave my life to a drug.<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />This drug was the first step in destrying the person I used to be.<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />I know things weren&#8217;t always perfect. But it was better. I was<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />a decent person. You loved me. And I made you happy&#8230;<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />And when I lost these people&#8230;I lost a part of what made me, me.<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />Sometimes you are like a poison to me. But I cannot help but<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />care so much. I cannot help but care enough to drop anything<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />to make you feel better&#8230;or make you happy. Regaurdless of<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />the terrible things that happened&#8230;<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />I don&#8217;t know if i can say &#8220;forever was a lie&#8221;.<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />but at one point in time. It was forever&#8230;it was suppose to be you and me&#8230;forever.<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />I don&#8217;t want to feel completely alone. I&#8217;m happy for you&#8230;but I&#8217;m just scared.<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />If i could walk away from you..believe me, I would.<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />Nobody suddenly makes a person change. It takes time. Sometimes<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />it takes something tragic and heartbreaking&#8230;but it can happen.<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />Lauren &#8211; I&#8217;m not really full of hate..i&#8217;m not really vengeful&#8230;I just miss you sometimes. That&#8217;s all.<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /> <br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />Sometimes these things take experience to really learn and understand.<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /> <br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /> <br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />cocaine interfers with the way your brain processes chemicals that create feelings<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />of pleasure, so you need more and more of the drug just to feel NORMAL. People who become addicted to cocaine start to lose interest in other areas of their life&#8230;<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />..like school, friends, sports&#8230;etc&#8230;<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />Even first time users can have seizures or fatal heart attacks.<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />The changes that occur in a person during the times using cocaine..and even the<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />choices you make&#8230;are&#8230;just unreal. And even when you&#8217;re off the drug&#8230;<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />you may still have this thought in your mind&#8230;and you can still have the<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />guilt&#8230;and you can still have this <span style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;">incredible fear of abandonment</span>&#8230;<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />..that is when deception takes over. Shame gets prompted when there&#8217;s a<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />chance that something that you&#8217;re doing, or if you have a certain characteristic&#8230;that, if exposed<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />gets you &#8220;kicked out&#8221;&#8230;and a persons gut instinct is to aviod&#8230;<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />then lying occurs&#8230;and you&#8217;ve gotten yourself in an even more<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />fucked up delima&#8230;<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /> <br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /> <br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />Your feirce, but also intimidating beauty lured me in, in the first place&#8230;<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />And whlie we have our differences now, you&#8217;re still my friend.<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />Because I cannot and will not deny your kind words.<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />I wish all the things that happened, haddn&#8217;t happened. But you&#8217;re<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />there for me. And you still love me. So that&#8217;s what makes you<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />beautiful.<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /> <br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /> <br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /> <br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /> <br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />you can use in reasoning to understand that the voices are your own thoughts.<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />i&#8217;ll have to fend off the madness for the rest of my life.<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />it rolls in like a slow fog, becoming imperceptibly thicker as time goes on.<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />it&#8217;s a lifelong battle with madness.<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /> <br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />i still love you. all of you. and i am doing my best to turn a 180. that&#8217;s all i can say anymore&#8230;is that i&#8217;m doing my best. and i&#8217;m living my life being the best i can be.<br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /> <br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" /><br style="outline-style:none;outline-width:initial;outline-color:initial;line-height:1.2em;" />&lt;3</p>
