I took the log out of my eye today

There are lines that connect us to the even most distraught individuals. Cumbersome to the populace - we learn early on to erase them from our lives. They're struggle are familure and at best they become over romanticized by pop culture. Hollywood is a farce - reality is rarely reflected in the movies. I want to tell them the conflict they have is normal, but attitude changes everything. My cousin whom I love dearly, is addicted to meth since he was 19. I would hear the stories of his psychotic episodes reverberate thoughout my house. I was entertained but only becasue I was imature in my life. Now that he is 26, the stories of micro chips in his teeth, that are powered by the fillings, seem less funny and more sad then anything. He confides in me to this day - but the advice I despense becomes hasten to the floor by his addiction.
