random mess thoughts in the middle of nothing
After much ado the original post was pulled. One because most of it came from me seeing other people's actions not so much my own and it portrayed the wrong message I think. However, if you did have a chance to read it before I deleted it the nursing home stands true. Thanks Brandi........I did have a moment there.

personally I think it's a falicy to think that personal freedom and living life=destructive behaviors. I realize that you went to an extreme to make a point but really, how is blitzing yourself out or hurting another person, as well as your personal integrity, fully living your life?? I think society in general has given us this slogan of 'life your life to the fullest' and then given us media images of hollywood starlets partying it up or buying expensive cars or jetting off to parts unknown and somehow the two images are supposed to equal each other. How is that living life to the fullest? They aren't connecting, they aren't doing good in the world, they aren't finding joy (sorry, being blitzed on drugs is not joy, I don't care what anyone says), and they sure don't seem to be at peace with themselves. Which is not to say that having nice things is bad or that we shouldn't enjoy adventures but I think really living life to the fullest has nothing to do with screwing around (for example)-there is no way that anyone will convince me that cheating is a form of following your dreams. I think it has more to do with creative expression (in whatever form that takes for someone), love, connection, giving and receiving, connecting to a higher energy (in whatever form that takes for someone).
But hey maybe I'm wrong and the person cracked out on the corner is fulfilling their personal dreams in life and couldn't be happier. But somehow I doubt it.
oohh...and I thought of something else (great topic!!!).
I think there is a big difference between personal freedom and escaping and I think we (a general 'we') like to tell ourselves that we are exercising personal freedom when in fact we are escaping. Because think about it, if things really are wonderful in your life, if you truly are expressing your freedom to love and create an be yourself and pursue your dreams, why do you need a chemical substance?
ya know?
annndddd again!! haha! I think in spurts ;-)
is someone going out and doing all these things-trying other relationships, trying substances, collecting this, buying that in an intention to live life to the fullest or out of fear that they are missing something? Discontent that what they have isn't 'enough'?
I don't know people's motivations-it's just something to think about.
That's a great point! I was actually coming on line to block the blog I went a bit overboard. I was trying to look at other people too, like my co-worker that once told me monogamy was not possible and why should it be? With the nerve to call my rightous? Ok well on I just don't see that as happiness you are right. Even with drugs normally you feel way worse the next day! But yeah i was trying to be extreme to make a point but it does seem that many people go that route.
