Standards

Posted in Life, Ramblings, Updates. 6 Comments

In my last entry I stated that me drinking underage no longer bothered me. In fact, it does bother me a great deal and I was wrong to state that. You see, in the past, I have always practiced abstinance of alcohol, drugs, and sex. A few weeks ago I allowed my standards to be lowered temporarily because I was caught up in the moment.

A conversation with one of my close friends allowed me to see that I had dropped my standards and that this was clearly not me and wrong. And to that friend, I thank you.

I have promised myself once again that I will continue my practice of abstinance and that if I break it again that I will have somebody close to me injure me in some severe fashion.

I believe as teenagers and young adults we go through a phase of self discovery. We make mistakes along the way seeing that it is our nature to make these said mistakes and the majority of us try to learn from these, and then there are those that make these mistakes and never look back on them, never maturing. So, the question is where I fit upon these two groups that I just mentioned.

I fit upon those that learn from their mistakes. I have made several mistakes in the past, which I will not name because I am not proud of them, but I have learned from these mistakes to the best of my ability.

A week ago I actually planned on going over to another one of my friend’s house to party, which would have involved drinking. My mother found out about this, but was noticably fine with it. My friend that was mentioned above had contacted me about drinking and I immediately canceled all of the plans.

So, it’s come to the end of this little entry about self discovery and vowing to keep my practice of abstinance going. Thank you friend, I’m sure you are reading this.

There’s a new layout. This one is a little less simple.
