22 and on the track of maturity. Single. Trying to mingle. Employed and kicking. Crazy/beautiful. Word vomit. Brain drain. My life in pictures and little words. Procrastination to the highest level. Hello, mood swings. Damn PMS. Bumming 'til I get bummed. Politics is a whore.
See you.
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
I have different views on both ‘items’, for lack of a better term.
Let’s see.
Drugs for me is a no-no. Though I won’t be a hypocrite and say that I haven’t tried anything. Yeah, who doesn’t go through life not trying the mary, right? But it ends there. Getting hooked on it is a different story.
We’ve heard endless stories about how drugs destroyed lives of many people - users and the people around them. Drugs are illegal for a reason and we know that it is not meant to make us well or happy nor will it solve our problems or make the world a better place. I think it is here for a reason and that is to test our self-control and make us realize how we need not rely on such substances in order to be contented in life.
Alcohol, on the other hand, I believe, should be taken in moderation. I know my friends tease me about being an alcoholic or a drunkard or what not. But I believe that I know my limits and I know when to stop. Of course I’ve been smashed drunk and abused it in many ways but I’ve learned my lesson and I’m starting to change… And mature.
My dad told me that there’s a difference between being drunk and being happy. We drink because we are happy, not because we are sad. We don’t drink to drown ourselves in alcohol and wake up the following day with a severe hangover and our problems. We drink because we build bridges, be happy and share stories.
So I guess, alcohol is good when taken in moderation and drugs are just… BAD.
