Daily THOUGHT #22 "Just Say NO to Drugs"

Riiiight =^)...To each his own...

I know that some people immediately upon reading the title were like...Um is this still Reggie's blog? Yes it is...You all should know by now that I like to twist things up and make you think a little bit. Who doesn't need a little THOUGHT in their life? I know I do. Anyways, today's topic has nothing to do with illegal substances, but more so a certain type of people.

So Reggie...What exactly do you mean by drugs? Well I am actually more so saying "a drug" and then when you make it a general category it becomes "drugs". See in life you have these types of people: Those who crave attention and will do whatever it takes to get a group of loyal followers, those who are gonna live and could care less who tags along with them, those who look to do great things and people attract to them naturally and finally those people who tag along, simply because it seems like the right thing to do at the time.

See the last example is the perfect description of "a drug". Someone or something just drags them along and they love it, simply because they fit into something and their misery or happiness has some form of company. Before you know it, when you embrace this method of thinking, you loose the ability to think on your own or make decisions based on how you truly feel. Amazing how some "real drugs" can do that to you as well. Anyways...

Those who are aware of this must be careful, so that you don't fall into the trap or addictiveness of what's popular, trending or happening at the moment. Somethings will be positive where others will not. There will come a time where you have to decide if you want to focus on a priority or do what's gonna keep you a fan club or in it one. This does not mean don't have a good time in your life! Heck it's too short not to. Please enjoy yourself. But don't put yourself in situations where you feel you have to second guess or you feel that it really isn't cohesive to what you think.

If you are "a drug" try and find something that you want to do that is just for you. If you have a friend that is "a drug" introduce them to another form of fun and excitement. And if you used to be "a drug" warn those who are headed in that direction. "Everyone should do things together, but not to the point to where you are unable to things on your own, if need be."
