I really got annoyed earlier. The comments of two friends really pissed me off.
I hate when kids say, "I'm straight edge now" or "I'm kinda straight edge. I don't do drugs, but I drink" or "I'm straight edge during the week but not on weekends"
It doesn't work that way. Listen to me when I tell you it doesn't work that way.
I may not be the most "hardcore straight edge" kid out there, or the most knowledgeable or militant of the scene, but I know what I'm talking about and this means a lot to me. Straight edge isn't about that stupid shit. Its not just a temporary or a kinda thing. Its not about doing it for appearances. Its doing what's right for you, and living your life clean.
How dare you criticize me. "I don't get it. It makes no sense."
I don't want to live my life like you. You ruined your life. Your future is down the drain. You've let drugs and alcohol rule your life. Your grades and education are shit, your relationships are shit, your health is shit, your future is shit. What is it to get? I want to live my life free of damaging things. I don't want to get lost like you. I can be happy and have fun with out these things. You're the reason why this means so much to me.
I seem to post more and more lately. I don't see this as a good thing.

ReplyDeleteSee, you actually get it, and I like that. And always respect why you feel the way you do. Unlike a lot of other people who claim...but don't really understand why they do. (Champion said its cool... so I'm edge. amiryte?)
ReplyDeleteYea, every now and then I may partake in having a drink. But does it rule my life? No. Which is why I still sometimes feel separated. I just do my thing. If I don't want it, I don't do it. If I want a drink, sure I might have one. But it doesn't control me, and I don't let it ruin anything. I could honestly not have a drink ever again and it wouldn't phase me.
Keep up with the posting. Opinions are always cool to read. =]
