Yeah, that was me 8u/
It really is. I've not gone through drug addiction or alcohol addiction, but I have been addicted to the computer and internet, yeah.
And it was very damaging.
I also learned that if you sit for too long, you can get blood clots in your legs and die.
That kinda put a boot in my ass xD
The withdrawal is what hurts a lot of people.
Especially with heroin.
I've been told that it feels like you're dying if you don't get your fix.
There seems to be a big meth and heroin thing going on in the US.
I recently saw a video of a woman ODing with her toddler at a store.
Then there was that thing with the parents who OD'd and the kid was in the car.
I also saw a video where this dad explained to his kid that the mom OD'd.
People were like "That's so wrong!" "That's terrible!" and people were like "That's a positive thing!"
I think...some things need to be done in ways to show everyone that shit is serious and needs to be dealt with.
Words only do so much.
I've told loved ones "Please don't drink! It makes you sick and it hurts us when you do it! You're angry when you drink! Please stop!"
But they didn't listen. Now they had to face consequences.
I grew up around drug addiction. I grew up around alcoholism.
I know what they do to the person consuming them, and what it does to the people who love them.
Sometimes people need something drastic to show them what happens.
But it's up to them to make that choice. And some people don't make it and they die or kill someone.
I think Orah means "light" and Lee means "clear" so it wasn't a bad name.
But I'm immature and so are a lot of people xD;
It's not related, but my grandma worked at a hospital, I think.
She'd take the scraps home because they were just going to get trashed.
But they made her stop doing it and just threw away the food.
I hate when people waste food.
Yeah, that happens. They can't live on the outside and go back in.
That's what prison's good for for a lot of people.
I don't like injustice. At all. It makes me want to rip my skin off in anger.
However, my judgment is faulty xD;
Like...I think you should be punished if you steal someone's wallet and buy things like TVs and such.
But I don't think you should punish a mother for stealing food to feed her starving kids.
My friend, Orah Lee and the meth lab chick, brought it up.
She asked me if I thought stealing was wrong and when I said yes, she asked about a mother stealing to feed her kids and I said no.
She taught me that the world isn't always black and white.
It's like....if no one will help you, you gotta help yourself.
And that could cover stealing out of hunger but also vigilante justice.
I've been told vigilante justice is wrong, but if you fail to bring justice, then someone has to do it.
When you let child molesters and rapists go without much (3 fucking months) then you FAILED.
Something should be done.
And I don't mean take 'em out back and hang 'em.
But something needs to be set right.
The victims will live with the rest of their lives and it's a spit in the face to let the criminals off easy.
