You're not alone

It’s Funny how I saved this photograph I found on someones tumblr a while back. I just knew one day I would want to reflect on this photo and its contents. When I initially saw it I couldn’t agree more. Now when I look at it in retrospect I still think it’s hilarious but also complete bogus. First off, nothing is impossible. Secondly, when having a very optimistic outlook on life this picture is counterproductive towards everything I currently stand for. I think when I first viewed this photograph it just instantly brought back memories of a darker era in my previous fuck up stage of life. However, at the same time was someway relevant to the current status of my life now. In this photo everything correlates to drug usage. The only reason why I feel that I could relate to this photo now is simply by the adding of ‘fattening’ and ‘expensive’. That I can relate to because for some odd reason, I chose the most expensive hobbies to get into. I couldn’t just pick up a skateboard and skate around town spending $100 or less. I chose photography. FUCKING expensive hobby and I was really not ready for the reality slap of how expensive parts for cameras could accumulate to. After photography I chose another FUCKING expensive hobby which is bicycling. I don’t know if Lance Armstrong had anything to do with my decision however the suspension of my California Drivers License was the reason why I picked up this hobby. Well, back to the reason why I feel that this photo is basically directed towards drug usage and drug users. “Everything I like is either ILLEGAL, IMMORAL, fattening, ADDICTIVE, expensive, or IMPOSSIBLE.” Drugs are illegal, immoral, fattening(munchies), addictive(duh), expensive(hell fucking yes), impossible(to get sometimes).

I look at this photo and I just grin cynically. I know what that path looks/feels like and it’s a path I am far, FAR away from ever stepping foot in again. Whether it is marijuana, E, or whatever an individual is using this photo just describes a drug addict. Earlier in my post I mentioned that nothing is impossible. Cliche? fuck you, move aside. I’ll just end this rant with stay optimistic, kind, and humble. Keep your eye on the prize and that prize could differ for every individual and change throughout time. Me specifically, becoming a Multimillionaire before 30 is my ultimate life goal. When I become a multimillionaire everything I like will not be illegal, immoral, addictive, or impossible; everything will be within ‘reach’. Happiness is awaiting me.
