RESPONSIBILITY
After the tragic deaths of Dash Snow and Adam Goldstein the need to check our friends and make sure there doing ok has never been more serious. If you love your brothers and sisters then look them in the eyes and make sure there ok and if they’re not step up and lets try to get them the help they need. Sobriety is a serious thing for a lot of our friends these days and before we end up mourning another person maybe we can reach out to these people in need before another tragedy occurs.
It’s called being a friend and right now the import of being a grown up and a real friend has never seemed more needed to me. It’s called a gut check and right now our scene is in bad need of one. I know me for one I’m not afraid of extending myself and if you really care about your peoples you wont be either. It’s important stuff, I’m personally sick of crying when my friends pass I want to love them while there here with us in the present. I suspect we all do when we think it through.
Whats been happening the past few months needs to be examined by us all and we need to make a change inside all of us internally as to how we look at these situations. We need to step up and be the people we can all be and help our friends who are struggling with drugs,depression and inner demons we can only imagine in our darkest depths. Whatever the case may be now is the time to act like full fledged adults before we have to bury more friends and see more peoples lives effected by this madness. The import of this has never been more serious to me. I know for one I’m ready to heed the call and I suspect many of my brothers and sisters are as well.
I say lets do it with godspeed I’m sick of losing friends and family cause at the end of day what else do we really have?

Well put and real talk… The crazy thing is there are solutions to most problems and as far as drugs and alcohol go many options for sobriety… Good solid ones that work if you work them… Far too many pass away because they did not know how to reach out for help… So we need to call it sometimes on our friends and break it down when they break down… Put our hands out and help… Trust me I know all about that… Good work and a good shout. Peace and Love… L
