perhaps it was just me....
just some of the things you wrote (i think something to the effect of (and i'm not quoting you word for word, but to the effect of 'you're not in jail, doing drugs, that ruins your life' made me feel like perhaps even though i'm not in jail (or maybe i am???) i've done things in the past...
nevermind.
perhaps jsut a gentle reminder that some people do things and prefer to call them life experiences, not ruining of lives or call themselves 'losers'.
i do have friends who have lived on the streets before, due to drugs, among other things (alcohol as well). i'd hesitate to call them losers. i'd also hesitate to call myself a loser if i were to wind up on the street due to circumstances, whether it be drugs, liquor, dirty women (god forbid), flashing a cop (hey, i didn't know it was a cop!), relashionships with murderers (hey, i didn't know he was a murder!). i could have ended up on the street just as easily as the safe house i live in today.
well, you get the idea. i'm off my soapbox now.
