on addiction

For my abnormal psych class, I had to watch a documentary about addiction. 

Watch. Learn. Be compassionate. 

"The drugs that I do, I don't do them because I like to do them, but I do them, because I am in pain, and it numbs the pain."

I can relate. I mean, if we are honest, most of us can relate. 

Letter to Father

Dear Father,

Thank you for being there.
when i felt so alone.

when I got so angry at people who hurt me.

when i spewed with jealousy over my friends and family
who have become so successful.

when You gave me a dog to remind me of Your loving presence.

when I fell in love with my baby nephew, and promised You that I will always take care of him.

Thank You Father.
