We are all lving in glass houses. Our weakness shining through every window. All it takes is the right rock in the right spot to break it all down. So we run. So we hide. We hold on to anything that will take it all away. But we always fall back down. We run until our blisters become numb. But we always fall back down. So stop running. Stop medicating. It will never get better until you stop. You will never forget. It will never go away. Now I see how fragile we can be, how easily everything can be taken away. How nothing means nothing to anyone anymore. So stop running. It will never get better until you stop. *In the past year I have seen some of my closest friends self destruct. No matter how strong someone thinks they are all it takes is that one moment to break them down, leaving them helpless and alone. Too often when this happens people don't want to let themselves feel the pain of life so they run from it. They try to find comfort in alcohol, drugs, sex; anything that will make them numb to the pain. Everything loses it's meaning and nothing matters anymore. Watching my friends go through this killed me. I would try to help and it just made everything worse. They sunk deeper and deeper until all that was left was a shell of what they used to be. Running from your life never fixes anything. It will never get better until you just stop.*
