Clean up or clean house!

You know, as I am laying here watching the news I see why I rarely watch it. Its so damn negative! Seems like all you hear about is people getting killed, people getting robbed and shot, people's homes on fire. Tonight, they even had a special about a hospital scam. Apparently, ppl have been going door to door trying to sell books and magazines saying that proceeds are going to TX Children's Hospital; of course, the hospital has no program like that. I just cant make out why ppl think living a life full of shadyness will benefit them. I know it actully may, temporarily, but how long can that last? What pleasure do they get out of causing other ppl pain?

You know, that's one reason I'm no longer an with my ex. He's been on his own since he was 14 years old. Both his parents were drug addicts; his mother in and out of jail, usually for drug related charges. But, when do you say im going to make a difference in my life. I'm going to break this chain that's holding me back. How long does one or should one hold on to bad memories? When do you take those negatives and turn them into positives? He's in jail this very moment for drug posession. Apparently, he's not getting the picture! I dont have time for that shit! When I met him, I was only 24 years old, and honestly, the life he was living was exciting to me. My mom always says I have and addiction to bad boys. But I am 31 now, and I personally dont want to be with anyone taking "penitentary chances". So many ppl focus on things that hold them back and use that as an excuse not to push forward. I for one think it's cowardly. There are too many ppl in this world that are successful that came from nothing.

Nonetheless, I know I got off track a little, but I know there are a lot of ppl out there, who know of someone who's not quite on the right path. Have you talked to them about it? Have you addressed your concerns? Is there is something you can do to help? If not, get rid of them, NOW! Ask yourself these questions! Its a true saying that misery loves company. People who dont want to do good by themselves certainly won't do good by you!
