I had someone write me a comment about my titles. I like to use songs to inspire my thoughts, so I name my post after the song that I am using to inspire my thoughts.
I think I could fall in love with a guy that I never imagined I would ever like (nevermind love) . Why? He is a red head Irish dude who used to be a drug addict and alcoholic. Now he is clean and wants to make his life better. He wishes that he could take back his past, and do it all over again. He wishes that he would have valued his dream to become a police officer more then drugs.
I was always afraid of people who did drugs. I thought that they were stupid and weak. I thought that they were dangerous, but the junkies I know have been some of the kindest people I have ever met. They don't judge in the way that self righteous people do. They have already been to the bottom, so they have no where to go but up.
I am sorry guys for judging you before I knew you. You guys have increased my confidence in so many ways. You guys are funny, and well, you guys are hot too! Maybe there is a part of me that has a need to save the wounded animal, but there is nothing greater then a humble man/woman. I wish that your past didn't have to affect your lives today. You guys may be crazy in your own ways, but you guys are smart in your own ways too. Hopefully, one day you guys can rise above your past and go on to be better dads and sons in the future. Thank you so much.

Humility is one of the rarest human virtues in this age of 'self esteem.'
A Fact is Always Better Than an Ideal.
I'm glad to see you changed your opinion! It's rare that people can admit they were wrong.
I still think you have some things to learn. Not all people who use drugs are addicts. Not all of them are wounded. Some are wounded and use drugs to use them.
A couple of examples:
I've been hurt a lot in my life. I've been through hell and back so many times since I was nine years old. I might've gotten deep into drugs, into hard drugs, when I was young, but I managed to stay away from that, except for cigarettes. I first smoked marijuana when I was fourteen and liked it, but didn't smoke it again till I was eighteen, I think... I spent a week in Amsterdam, and smoked a joint every evening that week, and enjoyed it quite a bit.
My college is pretty much known for its marijuana use... I started smoking again the first day I got there - within an hour of my parents leaving, actually. It was just EVERYWHERE. Now I smoke every day. I don't smoke as much as many people I know, but I do smoke enough that some people are rather surprised. Mostly they're surprised because I don't act stoned. I write a lot, I do a lot of homework, I go to class, I absolutely love doing research and studying and writing papers. The best paper I wrote this semester - a paper that got me into a very prestigious program that can get me 45 credits for writing about my life experience - was written entirely while I was high on marijuana. It's also helped me with my appetite - since winter break, I have had no appetite and often throw up. Smoking marijuana has cured that COMPLETELY.
Before I started smoking, I was extremely depressed and had terrible nightmares. I still have some nightmares, but I just smoke a joint and they stop bothering me. I'm much happier and more productive, if I didn't smoke I'd probably have been kicked out of college. I'm trying to get a perscription for medical marijuana.
A sociology professor I know has smoked marijuana for two decades. She's working on her Phd. Another guy I know, who's also doing great in college, does LSD every month or so and smokes marijuana as well. None of them have any mental problems or serious life problems as far as I know, it's just a casual part of their life, like having a cup of coffee in the morning or occasionally having yummy ice cream, etc.
