Life Decisions

I know i dont usually write two posts in one day but this is just something that i really feel to get off my chest. I just attended something on drinking and it was a girl whose brother passed away from a drinking and drug overdose.
People kind of give me weird looks when I dont drink, and its not that its against my religion, i dont have one, but rather its a personal choice because of my family and observing things around me. That and i have no need to have my mind altered in any way.
Alcoholism runs in my family, on my dads side and my dad even was kind of a teenage drunk and he tells stories of it and they just stuck with me. My uncle almost died recently because of mixing two chemicals that became toxic, one of the chemicals being alcohol. And my brother as a teenager would party and one time he got SO drunk that he woke up to his buddy peeing on him. I NEVER WANT THAT TO HAPPEN TO ME, EVER!
Anyway moral of my story, I dont do well with people who are idiots, i have no need to alter my mind and people who do just frustrate me.
So the thing that I have to say to anyone who wants to listen, is to live your life for yourself, dont worry about what others think because if they care that much they may not necessarily care for you but rather want to keep themselves from looking so bad. And always look for the good in some situation, life can and will knock you down but its up to you to pick yourself back up, its up to you to make life worth living!
