wow.
so here's some insight from a nineteen year old girl who had everything once upon a time and now has nothing.
i take full responsibility for all of my actions.
i was smart in high school, i graduated early with a respectable gpa. mommy paid the tab for everything. i had a part time job to do whatever i wanted, whenever i wanted. i went to church every week. i was an "upstanding citizen"
then i moved out.
i did get hooked on drugs. i do have a kid. and life is effing hard. i work 40 hrs a week at a gas station, my boyfriend is soon to be released from jail (he's a good guy who made bad decisions. we've all been there)
soo.. not that anything i said made any sense, but i know what its like to have it made and i know what its like to have to work for what i've got and i have no pity for the guys that stand on the corner of my gas station and hold up signs. especially when there's a sign on our front door which says "help wanted" and as for mental incapacities, i work with a schizophrenic. if that's not a mental incapacity, what is you definition:?:
and yeah i think that everyone should take responsibility for what happens in their life. i mean, personally it would be so easy for me to blame everyone else, its so-and-so's fault i was a druggie. [[but i could have said no.]] yeah.. it's your fault we had a child -- [[but i could have prevented it.]]
i think that to blame others -- parents, friends, enemies, teachers, races, political figures, etc -- is ignorance. sometimes really bad people get dealt really great hands and sometimes really amazing people get dealt some pretty crappy hands, but how you play the cards is more than what cards you were dealt.
ok. im done. like i said.. im just a nineteen year old niave little girl who doesnt know much about the world, but that's still my input.
