Today I was talking to one of my friends. I asked him why he does drugs and he told me that it was a sort of escape from his home life. Honestly, I thought that druggies were just druggies without a cause. But not everyone is. I was able to relate to his story because he's going through something similar to mine. He used drugs to keep him separated from his home problems, while I use writing. We both have different techniques for coping with problems but at the end of the day..its all for the same purpose. To escape. To release. To forget for a while. (Drugs aren't the way, but its his choice) I told him about my story and he said the same thing I said, "I wouldve never guessed that you were going through that.." Sometimes i tend to think that Im the only one going through problems, so when someone tells me those things its like a reality check for me.
You're not the only one.
Your just one of the many.
