Just last night I was sitting with friends at the local and one of my friends began discussing his ex.
After much discussion it became apparent that this friend of mine had broken up with his girlfriend because raving had become central to his life and she did not agree his new found passion.
After listening to him go through the PROs of ravin' and the CONS of partners I realised, and as such confronted him with the question WITHOUT DRUGS, WOULD YOU STILL GO TO RAVES.
A serious question in any respect, I realised that despite his drunken attempts to assure me he would ALWAYS be part of the scene he loves, the moment his love affair with MDMA ended I realised so would his love of raving.
After this occurs, how will he find himself?
All his current resources are going toward an activity he enjoys for the wrong reasons (IMO) and, as such, the future with respect to the one he loves is no longer existant.
After thinking about this a little I began thinking about the 'stage' of my life I was in and how I had gotten there.
I realised I was currently sitting on my arse, following a mid-semester deferall for personal reasons, and would more than likely do so until the beginning of next semester (8 weeks or so away).
Why was I currently in such a period of intermission I asked?
I began thinking of activities I was currently participation, namely consuming a moderate amount of drugs on a regular basis, and realised this limbo in which I have currently been engulfed was due my own selfish need to absorb all I could within this period.
Am I somehow neglecting the right choices, such as earning extra money and such, by simply taking time off?
Will I continue to relax until I somehow find myself working as a check-out dude at the age of 40, and reflect on those 'wrong' decisions I made in the past?
I think not... and have made efforts to make sure this does not happen... BUT WHAT ABOUT YOU?
What 'stage' are you currently in in your life?
Did you plan on being where you are or are you merely riding the wave that is life?
Are there any decisions you have made that you regret, maybe a lover lost or job opportunity missed?
Tell them to me my sweet kittens.. FLY!
Ummm, yeah.
PEACE
