What do you do, when you see someone you love
headed down a path of destruction?
YOU SPEAK UP AND SAY SOMETHING!
As I get older and into my adulthood, I'm starting to understand (I think...) people a little bit more. Maybe it's my experience, maybe it's just all from learning--either way I've grown. It is incredibly difficult to watch someone you love and care about, keep themselves in scary circumstances. We all make choices for OUR lives, we are the only ones living it. Although I feel like I definitely respect every one's choice, I can't help but want to literally whisk them out of the road so they won't be road pizza!!!
Part of being a good friend, is caring for each other. A good friend tells you when you're being an asshole, calls you out on your shit, and backs you up all the way. I consider myself a good friend. I'll support YOU no matter what, but I don't have to support the people you choose to have in your life. It's super uncomfortable to bring up certain issues and to understand where people are coming from, but my ears are always up to listening. I love my friends enough, to be mean to them...when I have to be!
All I'm saying, is don't be afraid to be a good friend. Because I can promise you, that standing by and watching idly is a dangerous thing.
