drinking.

it's amazing how a bit of alcohol can reduce the most respectable people to blabbering idiots.
and then it's even more amazing how after they've puked and felt like shit and ended up lying on the roadside,
they do it again. not that i'm being all high and mighty and looking down on such people. cos i'm not exempt from this kind of behaviour.
and some of my closest friends are as such.
but it doesnt stop me from questioning it anyway.

and i figured it's because everyone needs some way to keep their sanity intact.
as cliche as that is..
drinking to keep your sanity. haha. not funny.

what is it about the dark side of the walkway that appeals and calls out to all of us.
what is it about the dark side of the walkway that can tempt people to throw their lives down the drink. literally.

i really don't know, but i know i'm not exempt from it, and i know it's not going to stop anytime soon.
if ever.

but for those of you who've managed to stay and walk the straight and narrow path.
i take my hat off to you. it's not easy. and i would know..
and i dont' really know what i'm typing at the moment so i'm sorry if i disappointed any of you.
i'm not thinking very straight.

but i know that there's nothing as fulfilling as walking on the straight and narrow path.
it's hard as hell, but there's no drink, or drug or ANYTHING in the world that can equal the feeling of knowing that you're resisting a whole truck load of temptation that's just waiting eagerly to swallow you up.

i'm gonna get my life back on track. i need to.

there's really nothing in this world that gives you the same feeling as knowing that you're walking in the light.
if you haven't yet. don't give it up.
if you have, then this post is for you.
