No, we've both been off of heroin....she couldn't find it to save her life...I've lived very transient, druggy lifestyle and I've dragged her into some things I shouldn't have...Most normal people wouldn't feel comfortable living the life-style I've lived....I'm not really a "hippie" and I don't really identify with any particular group of people, I'm more of a loner....I do wander from place to place, live on the fringes, do what I have to do to survive...I'm kind of sick of it at this point, it loses its romantic appeal somewhere along the line
girls are very attracted to me, especially young ones who are drawn to "dark, mysterious people" but this is the first girl I've ever really let into my life completely to where I actually took her along for the full trip....She was young and naive, but we fell hard in love...
The most stable I've EVER lived my life was when we went back east to my hometown....I worked a really good job and supported us and we had everything we needed. My family was excited because they thought I was finally gonna be a normal person and have kids and what not....My mom and her got along really well...She's a pretty decent artist, and my mom has been painting for years, so they would go paint together...
It would have been the perfect circumstances to the chaos behind me, but instead I get both of us hooked on heroin...then, we spend the next few years living a secretive, druggie life, constantly having to hide the drugs from everyone....she worked at a record store for a few years and she almost got caught nodding in the aisles a few times, I think her boss knew!
At one point, she quit her job at the record store, I took a leave of absence from my job and we drove to the smoky mountains to kick dope...It was great! It was like a fresh start! We drove out here to Nebraska to stay with her family for awhile and everything felt like it was gonna change!
We made the decision to head back east and try it again...I was able to go back to my job because I was on a leave of absence for the few months we were gone.....Guess what happened?!
We got a nice place, and a new bed and furniture and stuff only to end up back on heroin for about 2 more years!!
Now we're here and this girl leaving me alone to hang out with very mediocre musicians (I'm a snob when it comes to that) and I'm left out here to get drunk and stew!
I did deprive this girl of what should have been her college years to introduce her to a life that really has no measurable benefit to it....I think she just wants to be normal and have the little things in life! I do too, but apparently it's too late for us....
sorry to ramble, and thanks everybody....sigh
