Heavy to Light
Strength.

Watching all the trainwrecks around my life, I need to ask myself: Where are people's inner strength?

Addictions are evil. From overspending, to smoking, to partying, and even narcotics. All of our failures of will power, eventually seem to take over people's lives, and the innocent ones that are gathered around it. I have been watching countless trainwrecks in my life over and over again throught the past 6 months. Just when they seem to repair themselves, the track gets broken again. How many falls does it take people to get back up again?

As much as I want to go by with my life, as strong as ever, trying to make my life seem untouched by bad judgements made by people so important in my life. I can't. I will get consumed in the accident. But there a good way to be a part of the accident. Instead of having things just try to "wait themselves out", I decide, I am going to be a part of the cure for the people I care about, not help feed their disease.

I need to be blunt, borderline harsh, and strong willed. The people that need to hear it, can't do it for themselves. It's okay to fail, but it's not okay to wrap yourself in your failures and nurture self pitty. Rise up.

I don't know how we get or lose our inner strength, which triggers really let it all go, but I have to encourage everyone: Fight. You know if something isn't good for you. If people tell you, you have gone to far, the see something you can't see within yourself.

As with everything in life, I need to just wait this out. I have faith this will turn out to be the best in some form. I could be foolish, but the thought helps everyone to keep pushing. It will start of heavy, but you will build strength enough to make it lighter in the end.
