a post long delayed

i have a question.
a lot of my friends do drugs. and drink. and maybe don't really think twice about it.

so as a person who doesn't believe in these things, what should i do about it?
i know that a lot of times it's just a social thing to do.
but i also know that they've all had their share of problems and things that they may or may not want to push away by using drugs as their vice.

and i believe in better ways.
i am scared they will get hurt.
or get addicted.
or do something they'll regret.

i don't condemn them for the choices they make.
i hope i don't judge them.
but maybe i am judging them right now.

i just need to know how i should deal with this.
because, you know that killing vs. letting die thing?
well i think letting die is just as bad as killing.
what if that's what i'm doing?
i'm just letting this get worse and worse and whatever happens, the fault will be just as much on me.
so i feel like i need to do something.
but what?
what is there to do?

just one?

saw a local band unexpectedly this past week.. and never heard of them.

i actually liked them.

we've all got so many things

"Sometimes I convince myself that all is fine in the world. It not mine. Why should I have to try to fix things I didn't create or contrive?"

The music video for Do You Feel? came out friday... it made me re-fall in love with the song, but this i got a greater understanding to what the song is actually about. It's about 'having our own things' that we let get in the way of doing the things that are really important.

the words speak of thinking about how 'this hand' could create better thing, but how he's got his own things. "i've got too many issues" ..he uses his own problems as a reason to not step out to help the world around him. i know i find myself in this position. i let my own problems stop me from helping other people. i use so many other excuses as well.

well, we all have so many things..
But i know I can get past these things.
i know you can too.
