Dark Roads

I read my friends blog today and I wish I had read it a while ago cause her influence on my thoughts through her blog probably would have saved me from a dark road a while ago. I have made mistakes just like everyone else does. However, my recent mistakes might have had more of a toll on my spiritual life than I really ever could have seen coming. I went above and beyond anything I would have thought I was capable of my freshman year of high school. People have told me all my life to live in the world but not of the world by not of the world. That advice is completely useless if after saying that you leave me in a dark corner and say find your way out. You aren't helping. Taking a passive role in a persons life and saying oh everyone has to make those mistakes once in their life that's how they truly learn. If I here anyone say again I am going to hit them in the face. If you truly care about a person you will do anything you can to stop them and keep them from doing something they will regret. Oh, and looking the other way isn't truly caring for someone either. I don't blame people for letting me make several big mistakes. But after the mistakes I have made I can't just sit back and watch people I care about make the same ones. The whole "its their life let them live it" That's bullshit and the people who say that are just trying to cop out of having to confront someone for what they were doing. I don't want this to seem like a rant about how people should hold others accountable because it isn't. I believe that it's the responsibility of the someone who is making a poor decision to check themselves, rather than rely on others to hold them accountable. But please hold one another accountable cause its to late when you hear that your friend is dead from a drug overdose or pregnant or whatever poor decision they are making.

Growing up is scary, growing apart is even scarier.
