NinaIt wasn't until I was standing in front of her in the South Wing of that Medical Rehab Centre did I realize she is my hero. Clutching each other's hands, we cried and stared straight at one another, mumbling "I love you" from our frowning mouths. She wiped away my tears; I wiped away hers. She told me I'd changed her life; I told her she'd changed mine. She told me to never give up, to never doubt myself, to always keep going; I told her the same. Our hug was one that I wish could have lasted forever. Or at least made a miracle happen- I wish she could have the motivation to walk again, to laugh again, to smile again. This woman has taught meNina


Substance Abuse haunts meSubstance Abuse is something that has haunted me my entire life, but to me, I took it to be a sign of what to do.Substance Abuse haunts me
One of my first involvements with an Substance Abuse problem was when I saw my mother, intoxicated to the point of sheer incoherence, wrestling her friend as he pulled her out the door and drove her to the Detox Center. I was about eleven years old, hiding under the kitchen table, as she yelled: "This is all your fault. I hate you!" repeatedly before she was hauled off. Next time we met up was the Cafeteria at the Detox Center when my family came to visit. My mother asked if we wanted chips. Simple enough, right? I di


Defined by the BeastIt follows me wherever I go. I guess because I admit it openly, it's my fault at first. If I need to take my medicine, I pull it out and choke it down. I'm not about to lie about what the medicine is for; I'm a truth teller for the most part. Why bullshit people?Defined by the Beast
They define me by it. They read the symptoms and nod as they agree with every little detail: "That fits you perfectly." "It explains a lot." "I had a feeling something was off." Why do I let them speak as such? Why do I put up with it? Because they are right, correct, telling no lies, bold and straightforward.
So why do I care? I guess because sometimes I g

I'm terribly sick. Depression and a cold. Bad combo.
Lots of tough homework, too. I'm in college now and, well, I'm "paying" to get this education!
Actually I'm here mostly on Fin Aid, but still...
I'm okay. Doing pretty fine at the moment since my depression comes in and out in random bouts.
I'll get around to commenting on your pieces soon. Sorry I was distracted.
By the way, ever read "The Messenger" ? It's about cards. I've yet to read it, but my sis has and I saw her with it last time I saw her (which was a very, very long time ago).
How are you? Hope all is well.

Oooh..college!
I'll be there in two years XD Sooooo not excited. Haha.
No, I actually haven't. Who's it by?
'The Solitaire Mystery' is also about cards. I recommend it :]
I've been doing okay. Hanging in there ^^

Well, I asked my sis. Apparently it's actually "I Am The Messenger" by Markus Zusak. Really neat book cover, I say.
'The Solitaire Mystery', eh? I'll have to see if I can find that around.
Two years 'til college? Well, make sure you really find one you love. And make sure you do Orientation and all sorts of stuff to get you to meet people. I suggest joining lots of clubs ASAP. It'll make it loads better.
So, you're in 10th year, right? Or 11th?

I <3 cards. Haha. As you may have already seen.
Yup. it's by Jostein Gaarder. He also wrote the book 'Sophie's World'.
Haha. Well, I'm in the Frisbee Club, Philosophy Society, and Gay-Straight Alliance. How's that? xP
I'm in 11th ^^
